The city centre in Dublin incorporates quite a few neighbourhoods that are worth checking out. If you are looking for a party for adults, you will most likely want to start your search in Temple Bar,  along Grafton Street and on St Georges Street. These areas have a lot of private dining restaurants, pubs and bars that cater to the adult crowd. Further down Merrion Road, you will encounter a swath of more traditional pubs. Check out their function rooms to see if they suit your birthday needs. Along Portobello, you will encounter several restaurants, such as local-favourite Sophie’s. These generally offer open-air spaces and terraces, all of which provide guests with a lovely view of this laid-back part of town.

Of course! Here are some tips for throwing a memorable birthday party for adults:

• Choose a theme - A theme will add a fun and festive touch to any party. Make sure it’s personal and revolves around the guest of honour's interests and hobbies.
• Plan the guest list - Make sure to invite the right mix of people to ensure a good time. Invite close friends, family, and coworkers with whom the guest of honour enjoys spending time. A guest list will also help you figure out how big of a space you need to make everyone feel comfortable and ready to mingle. 
• Select the perfect venue - Choose a venue that has the right vibes and matches the theme. Also, make sure to check if it’s in an accessible location and offers all of the amenities that you need. 
• Plan the menu - Decide on a menu that complements the theme and is easy to eat while mingling. Finger foods, hors d'oeuvres, and charcuterie boards are always crowd-pleasers that go well with cocktails or drinks. Just make sure that the food will cater to all of your guests’ dietary needs. 
• Choose the right entertainment -  Don’t forget to prepare some activities and entertainment. They will keep your guests engaged and will save you from any awkward moments. Create a birthday playlist that matches the party vibes and have some classic drinking games ready, such as Never Have I Ever, Shot Roulette or Beer Pong. 
• Decorate appropriately - Make it feel like an actual birthday and choose decorations that will add some celebratory vibes. 
• Don't forget about the cake - No birthday party is complete without a cake! You can buy one, or prepare it on your own. Just make sure it's big enough to feed all your guests.
