Temple Bar is also a key destination with its lively atmosphere and tourist appeal. Here, you can find high-capacity venues like Buskers On The Ball.

Most hire fees include exclusive use of the space, bar staff, basic AV equipment, and seating. Many venues, especially those with a minimum spend or per-person model, also provide tailored food and drink packages. For example, venues like 9 Below or The Glasshouse Bar often include cocktail service or bespoke menus in their rates, while larger venues offer full bar access and custom event support.
