Fun Birthday Ideas in Dublin

Keep your birthday sophisticated and secret with cocktails at The Blind Pig. Whether you're going with a partner or group of friends, this sexy spot will have you singing by the end of the night with inventive concoctions and an stripped back interior.

Mashing party with pretty cocktails and an even sexier decor, Bow Lane will make sure any Dublin birthday celebration is a big one. Grab one of their booths for cocktails that turn into dancing, or if you've got a birthday towards the end of the month, head along to the legendary drag brunch.

Thought Farrier & Draper was just plush interiors and classic cocktails? While they might be winning in the classy drinks category, their Monday nights add a whole new layer. Think swinging 60s vibes with live music from DJ Dandelion.

A venue with many faces, The Workmans Club is perfect for those who can't make up their mind for their birthday. Cool cocktails? Right here. An eclectic choice of comedy, live music, and arts events? You got it.

Ping pong, pool and beer aplenty is all you need for a fun birthday in Dublin, and luckily, Buskers on the Ball has it in abundance. The party bar is great for larger groups, with a happy choice of American bites and games such as foosball, shuffle board and more.

Fun birthday bars don't come much better than Dublin favourite Wigwam. Located on Middle Abbey Street, the spot is an all-rounder, from an epic boozy brunch if you're starting early, through to karaoke rooms and ping pong in the downstairs space.

Birthdays don't do much for ya? P.Mac's is the kind of cool hangout where you don't have to make a fuss. Known for their epic selection of craft beer, the space is perfect for a chilled pint and a board game or two.

Have your cake and eat it at this all-rounder on Wexford Street. Keep it casual with a meal in Opium's Pan-Asian restaurant, dance the night away in the club, or stick to cocktails on the rooftop terrace. If you're planning a proper party, there's a variety of private hire spaces to book too.

Is it really your birthday if there isn't tequila involved in some form? 777 does it better than most, with a long list of 100% blue agave tequilas, cheap and cheerful plates, and a cute interior. Book a table, grab your mates and prepare for a headache the next day.

Get you a bar that can do it all, and NoLita won't let you down when you're planning a fun birthday in Dublin. The venue is a treat for the eyes with a series of spaces, all with different themes. If you're wanting to do things properly, grab a table for dinner and then continue into the early hours with one of their club nights.

If your idea of a great birthday includes a big night out with your mates, then head to Pygmalion for an evening to remember. Shaking up your usual drinks, expect cocktails and chilled vibes before New Jackson hits the decks.
