Overview

Come with us as we venture to some of our favourite pubs in Dublin, learning to pour your own pint of Guinness, sampling some Irish Whiskeys, and making your own Irish coffee along the way.

Together, we’ll explore Dublin’s famous Temple Bar area, taking in the sights and sounds of this vibrant, bustling neighbourhood, before heading off to a beloved local haunt, nestled in the shadow of Christ Church Cathedral, in an area once known locally as ‘Hell’.

We’ll visit four pubs altogether, finishing up at a traditional Irish music session in a true Dubliner’s pub.

Dublin pubs are as varied and wonderfully storied as those who frequent them. We’ve brought together a couple of pubs that we feel represent some of the best that the city has to offer.

Each of us is an accredited guide and proud Dubliner, as well as an actor, a musician, or an artist of some description. We love showing people around the city that we call home, and whose unfolding story we are proud to be a part of.
