FAQs about Top Christmas Bars in Dublin
You can hire Christmas bars in Dublin starting from around €150 per session for smaller venues, such as The Portobello Bar. Mid-range options like Harcourt Bar & Garden or The Sound House typically range from €200 to €500. Larger venues or those with premium services—like private access, décor, or minimum spend commitments—can range up to €6,000 or more for an evening. (All data from Tagvenue).
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.
