Absolutely. BrewDog Outpost Dublin in the South-East Inner City has an expansive outdoor space with capacity up to 420 guests and a minimum spend of €15,200 per day. Lennan’s Yard also has a high-capacity garden area with options for 400 guests under a minimum spend of €12,000 per session. These venues work well for weddings, summer company events, or big birthday celebrations.
Many venues offer both indoor and outdoor areas, useful given Ireland’s unpredictable weather. The Alex Hotel and House Dublin, for example, provide combined indoor/outdoor access, and venues like ASADOR and The Sound House have retractable roofing or covered terraces. It's best to confirm with the venue if marquee hire or covered areas are included or available as an add-on.
