For December dates, it's best to book at least 2 to 3 months in advance, especially if you're targeting Friday or Saturday evenings or popular central locations. High-demand venues in Dublin City Centre and Temple Bar can book out by early autumn. Early booking helps secure better rates and a wider choice of venues.
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.
