Whether you're looking for a classic pub experience, a quiet cocktail bar, or something in between, Dublin has plenty of options. You can't go wrong with a pub when it comes to after-work drinks which feature traditional Irish food like fish & chips and shepherd's pie along with beer on tap. Bars mostly offer cocktails and spirits served straight up or on the rocks and have more relaxed and classier vibes. If you're looking for something more upscale or elegant than your average pub scene, check out some of the lounges and cocktail bars that offer more privacy but also have limited seating. You can also hire a private room at a bar and restaurant or the whole venue, depending on how large of a crowd you’re inviting.
