Dublin Nightlife

Dublin has a very busy and enticing nightlife. You’ll find pubs and clubs open every day of the week, offering a great atmosphere.

Before you decide what to wear, keep in mind that Dubliners like to dress up, especially the girls who wear dresses and skirts, no matter the weather.

Dublin nightlife

Locals usually have dinner at approximately 8 pm and then head to an Irish pub in Temple Bar to have a few pints.

You can choose to end the night in a pub in the Temple Bar area (many are open until 2 am), or go to one of Dublin's countless nightclubs, which generally close at 3 am.

Age Requirements

The official drinking age is 18. However, the age to gain entry to most of Dublin’s clubs is 20 or 21. In Dublin, smoking was prohibited in public places in 2004.

Clubs in Dublin are similar to those in London and New York City. They make people queue outside for a long time to give the impression that they are in fashion. This does not mean that they are packed once you go inside.
