Itinerary
We meet beside the Spire (the big needle) in the middle of O'Connell street. After being introduced to your local guide and your fellow travellers we move off to the first stop on our Pub Tour.
Recently pedestrianised, Capel street has become a hub at nighttime for Dubliners and visitors alike to enjoy Dublin's famous Pub Culture. At our first stop, we experience a craft beer bar serving locally produced Irish beer. Enjoy tasters of three distinct styles of beer from an Irish microbrewery as your guide explains how the beer is made and how you get the wonderful different flavours.
On our second stop, we visit a beautiful old Victorian close to the river for a glass of Guinness. Listen as your guide explains why Guinness tastes different and is so much creamier in Ireland compares to other places.
Our third stop is an iconic Dublin pub called Slatterys where we will have time to sit down and enjoy some of the finest traditional Irish food (optional) in the city. In this location, you will also have a taster of a superb Single Malt Irish whiskey as your guide describes the resurgence in the whiskey distilling industry in Ireland. To finish, we will have a taster of a delicious craft Irish gin and tonic from a micro-distillery in County Cork.
Our last stop is at a cosy Dublin pub to enjoy a traditional Irish music session. Stay as long as you like while you chat away with the locals and your fellow traditional as you enjoy this authentic Dublin Pub experience.

Sam was an outstsnding host!! As a former Guinness taster employee he is a true subject matter expert with a real keen sense of humor and fun, lively attitude. Well organized and managed event. Highly recommend!
Thank you Rob! He was a great tour guide and took us to some different pubs from ones that serve craft beer to places that were a little more of a traditional Irish pub. There were a lot of convos on the history of beer and the pubs themselves. Had a great and low key time for my last night in Dublin!
A good experience with a knowledgeable guide. We enjoyed the variety of Irish beer, whiskey, and gin.
The group included wide range of ages and were all very pleasant Guide was too loud even in a small group and room and only paid attention to the 5 young men paid no attention to my husband walking with a cane Would not book the tour again
Went to 4 different pubs, all equally enjoyable. Our guide, Rob, was great!
We had a great guide who shared a lot of knowledge about the beverages we were drinking. It was a lot of fun.
I like the concept. What can go wrong, you gather some 15-20 people that have allocated an evening to learn a little about Dublin and the pub culture and are very motivated to have a good time. And for me nothing went wrong, I tasted great beers and walk through a pub I felt like visiting again, and I hooked up with some super nice people from Berlin. But having said that, it is an easy job for the tourguide to walk this kind of group through a single street showing four pubs and do some talking. We are easy to please. But it could have been better if the guide was less tired of his job. He wasn’t the engaging type that had that extra interest in his guest and could engage in their questions. But overall, it was fun and money well spent - and hi, beers and good company, what not to like 😊
What a fun way to spend a Friday night in Dublin! Martin our guide was fantastic—so energetic and friendly.
Great mix of places we stopped at. Martin was a lovely guide-really enjoyed our time! Was a nice group size as well!
Enjoyed the driver-narrated bus ride across two different days. Easy stop near my hotel. Happy to get to know Dublin.
