Overview

The Dublin Out-of-Tourist-Path North Side Pub Tour with Tastings and Live Music starts at 6:00 PM at the Spire, a tall monument in the middle of O’Connell Street. The group meets here for introductions to the local guide and fellow participants before heading to the first pub. The tour lasts three hours and forty-five minutes and covers four pubs on the north side of the River Liffey, with about three and a half hours of walking and visiting. The first stop is on Capel Street, a recently pedestrianised area popular for nightlife. Guests taste three different styles of locally brewed Irish craft beer while the guide explains the brewing process and flavor differences. The second stop is at a Victorian pub near the River Liffey, where participants enjoy a glass of Guinness and learn why it tastes creamier in Ireland than elsewhere. The third stop is at Slattery’s, a well-known Dublin pub, where guests have time to sit down and may optionally purchase traditional Irish food. This stop also includes a tasting of Single Malt Irish whiskey, accompanied by a talk on the recent revival of whiskey distilling in Ireland. To finish at this pub, participants taste a craft Irish gin and tonic from a micro-distillery in County Cork. The final stop is at a cosy pub featuring a traditional Irish music session. Guests can stay as long as they like to enjoy the live music and socialize. The tour includes a local professional guide, tastings of alcoholic beverages, live entertainment, and local taxes. Food and additional drinks are available for purchase but are not included in the tour price. Participants must be at least eighteen years old. Those arriving late can join the tour until 6:30 PM at The Black Sheep on Capel Street.
