Overview

This 3-4 hour walking pub crawl through Dublin highlights several historic pubs where visitors learn about the city’s history and culture from a local guide. The tour starts at the An Post General Post Office, the headquarters of the 1916 Rising, where the group gathers outside for about 20 minutes. Next, the group passes O’Connell Street, with pub selections adapting to the group’s interests, often choosing lesser-known spots. The crawl includes a stop at the Palace Bar, a pub with over 200 years of history and one of the largest Irish whiskey collections. Guests receive a pint of Guinness here. Another stop is the Ha’Penny Bridge Inn, one of Dublin’s oldest pubs dating back to 1732, where participants can choose to pour their own pint of Guinness. The Confession Box on Marlborough Street is visited next; this pub is linked to the Irish War of Independence and was reportedly used by Michael Collins and IRA members for secret meetings. The Stag’s Head, a Victorian-era pub known for its carved wood and stained glass, offers insight into Dublin’s pub heritage and is popular with locals. Depending on the route, the tour may pass the historical Bank on College Green area. The Oval Bar is also included as the first pub stop on the route. The group size is small, allowing the guide to tailor the experience with stories, traditional music, and a focus on authentic Dublin atmosphere. Alcoholic drinks are included, but gratuities are not.
