Function Rooms for Hire in Dublin

Function Rooms Hire Guide

Looking to hire a place for great craic at your private party, birthday, engagement, or just for the heck of it? Dublin is a city that knows how to have a great time. With its engaging atmosphere and sense of fun, Dublin will definitely have something to offer, whether your plans are big or small. You can find function rooms for hire at so many of the city’s amazing selection of restaurants, hotels, halls, and pubs that you’ll be spoilt for choice from the very start of your search.

Are you looking for a function room in a pub or perhaps a club? The high group energy of these types of venues is great when you are looking for a real knees-up. Many of these venues will have private event rooms for hire or will let you book out the whole venue. Check out bars with function rooms near Temple Bar if you are looking to host a high-energy younger crowd. Also, consider heading over to the Liberties district and the city’s oldest pub, The Brazen Head, which dates back to 1198. Pubs with function rooms are a great choice as their atmosphere can’t be beaten, and many will have separate smaller event spaces tucked away from the taproom. Larger pubs, like The Stag’s Head in Dame Court, may often even have several rooms on offer. Many of these venues will let you have the function room upon reservation and without extra fees. Always check with the venue first, though!

If you consider hiring a function room for a larger group, there are many venues, such as hotels and community halls, dotted throughout the city. Thomas Prior Hall in Ballsbridge, for example, is a historic building that has been repurposed as a meeting space for a large group. For bigger events such as a wedding or conference, this type of location would be ideal. The Banking Hall on College Green is another great choice if you need to host a large event and are looking to enjoy the ambience of a building that dates back to 1868. These types of event venues are great for major gatherings, not least because bespoke packages offer the opportunity to avoid separate costs for catering or set up.

If you would rather take your private party out to dine, don’t worry; the city’s foodie scene is legendary. Many restaurants and hotels in Dublin have private function rooms ready to accommodate parties of a certain size for a full fine dining experience. Depending on the size of the restaurant, these types of private spaces can hold around 30+ seated up to around 50 or so standing guests. These are great, not just for celebratory meals. They are also suitable for receptions or other official events!

How far ahead I hire a function room for my event in Dublin?

We recommend hiring a function room in Dublin around 3-4 months in advance. This will give you enough time to find the right function hall, make arrangements with catering or event planners, and ensure availability on your preferred date. However, if you are planning a large gala or Christmas party, you may need to make your booking even earlier. It's always best to start your search early and book a function room as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.

How can I hire a function room in Dublin on a budget?

There are several things you can do to hire a function room on a budget. Firstly, research multiple private rooms for events in Dublin and compare their rates, services, and amenities to find the best deal. With Tagvenue, that will be easy! Next, you can choose an off-peak date when hire rates might be lower. Select a venue in adequate size. Don’t pay for a too-large space you won’t be using, but of course, make sure your guests are comfortable. Don't be afraid to negotiate with the venue and ask for a better rate or additional perks, such as complimentary room rental or discounted catering. You can also ask for special rates, as many venues offer discounts and event packages when the hire market is slow. Finding a cheap function room in Dublin isn't difficult if you're willing to spend some time looking for the right option!
