Let’s get this out of the way early doors: you all know those old stereotypes around Ireland’s relationship with the bottle and with 600 pubs, Dublin’s status as the home of Guinness and a staggering number of clubs in the city – it’s a stereotype that’s reinforced in this party city. Yep those old streets of Dublin run black with that famous old stout, all the way to “Temple Bar”, which is the city’s cultural entertainment centre. Club-wise, Twisted Pepper, The Button Factory and Purty Kitchen are all well worth visits for your Dublin stag do.
Drink prices have risen dramatically in Ireland in recent times, but it’s still possible to go on a wallet-friendly night on the tiles if you venture off the beaten track and away from the tourist trap pubs around the station you’ll be fine – best to ask a local or head for O’Reilly’s to get tanked up on the cheap – draught beer prices there are similarly priced to any major city in the UK. While you’re here a trip to the Guinness Factory is a must, to discover the incredible story of how the “black stuff” found its way into pumps the world over – as well as enjoying the most authentic pint of it you’ll ever have on this, the stuff of stag weekend legends.
Did you know? 48% of the population of Dublin are under the age of 35. Junior.
