This article refers to restrictions that came in in September and lasted until December 1. For a new list of pubs that are open during the Christmas period, view our article here.
Many Dublin pubs and restaurants have closed their doors for three weeks after the Government announcement that the capital is moving to level 3 of Covid-19 restrictions.
Until October 9, pubs and restaurants in Dublin are under strict new orders not to allow indoor dining and to only offer outdoor dining to a maximum of 15 people at one time. Takeaway and delivery services are still allowed but the news still came as a blow to an industry that has had the most tumultuous of years due to Covid-19 restrictions and the number of changes to planned reopening dates.
After Friday evening’s announcement by Taoiseach Micheál Martin, many Dublin pubs and restaurants were quick to update the public on their situation. Below you’ll find the status of a number of the capital’s favourite spots. Be sure to bookmark this page as we update it over the coming days and if there are any we’ve missed, feel free to get in touch.
