Some of our favourite summer activities in Dublin aren't very strenuous at all. Park yourself across the city's finest outdoor drinking and dining destinations, sipping away with views from a rooftop or munching through a fantastic meal at a picturesque garden.
Fun activities don't come much more exciting than this: getting top tips from the best bartenders across the city. You'll whip up your own drinks at these cocktail masterclasses, whether you're out for birthdays, hen dos or an office party.
Thanks to a Roaring 20s theme and delish cocktails to boot, The Blind Pig is a great choice of summer things to do in Dublin this weekend for couples. Not only that, but the secret speakeasy has an award-winning mixologist to match, so you know date night drinks will be top-notch.
When you need summer events in Dublin tonight, this specially curated list of what's on is coming in hot with some of the city's greatest gig venues, pubs with traditional music and much more. When a Spotify playlist just won't cut it, here's where you should get to.
@ Bow Lane on Every 4th Sunday of the month
Fun things to do in Dublin for young adults this summer don't get much better than Bow Lane's drag brunch. The fourth Sunday of every month sees this cool cocktail bar have Davina Devine as host, so you can expect lip-sync battles, disco tunes and more.
After fun group things to do in Dublin this summer? BrewDog has just the ticket. Venture over for the bar's beer school, where you'll uncover guided tastings of their most popular pours and have a peek inside the microbrewery.
Possibly our favourite meal of the day at all times of year, boozy and bottomless brunches make a fantastic summer pastime. Fuel up for your other antics with piled-high brekkie plates, all accompanied by a couple of drinks or free-flowing alcohol.
@ Jameson Distillery on Fri, 4th Mar 2022 - Thu, 31st Dec 2026
Searching for places to visit in Dublin in summer? Jameson Distillery's is one of the most talked-about destinations, offering guided tours of the venue and whiskey tastings to boot. For a true snapshot of the city, this is a must.
