Yes, most Christmas bar venues in Dublin are fully licensed to serve alcohol, and many provide a staffed bar as part of the hire. Some venues operate on a minimum spend basis rather than a flat hire fee, which typically includes bar sales. If you're planning to bring your own alcohol, be sure to check the venue’s specific policies in advance.
