You can book everything from private dining rooms in upscale restaurants to lively full-venue spaces with built-in bars and entertainment. There are Moroccan-inspired spaces like Dada Restaurant, modern gastropubs such as The Donnybrook Gastropub, and rooftop-style venues like House Dublin. This makes Dublin a flexible option for any kind of party – casual or upscale, seated dinners, or cocktail receptions.
Hire fees often include exclusive use of the space, standard furnishings, and, in some cases, staff and AV equipment. Event packages usually cover food and sometimes drinks. For example, venues like Darwins Restaurant offer set menus as part of their per-person rate. Always check with the venue on what’s covered – some include PA systems or welcome drinks, and others may charge extra for late hours or custom setups.
