Dublin Stag Activities

Brewery Experience

Brewery Experience

A trip to Dublin is never complete without a visit to the world famous Guinness Storehouse! Arguably one of the most exciting tourist attractions in Ireland, this seven-story experience delves deep into the rich history of "the black stuff".

During the Guinness tour, you'll discover how it's made whilst sampling the silky smooth creation. The tour starts on the ground floor of the building, climbing to the top of the Guinness Storehouse until you reach the Gravity Bar right at the top. It's in the Gravity Bar for a pint of Guinness where you can enjoy breath taking views of the city skyline, reaching the Wicklow Mountains - the location where Guinness' water is from. Cheers!

Bubble football

Bubble football

Bubble football is a clever twist on the traditional 5-a-side - with the twist being the players wearing huge bubble suits! This super fun experience includes the pitch hire and a referee to keep score on a range of hilarious games.

Your whole stag group will have the opportunity to wear the zorbing suits while they bump, crash, and bounce around the pitch! Beware, though - once you topple over from laughing, it's very hard to stand back up!

Old school sports day

Top Stag-Friendly Bars and Pubs In Dublin

Temple Bar

Despite the name, Temple Bar is not a bar, but a street full of them. Temple Bar is Dublin nightlife personified and just one of the many reasons why the capital is loved so much. The epicentre for Dublin's nightlife, the Temple Bar is a must-visit - it's loud, and you're guaranteed awesome craic!

This immense drinking destination is packed with bars and pubs - all the best venues crammed onto a buzzing street. If you're up for exploring, you'll find many tiny alleys leading off the main street to even more group friendly bar venues. The Temple Bar is a hugely popular attraction for a reason and bucket list destination for your upcoming Dublin stag do!

Whelan's

Another iconic Dublin venue, Whelan's, is situated on Wexford Street. This legendary venue is the true origins of music in this Irish capital.

The Whelan's stage has adorned some of the biggest names, including Bloc Party, Ed Sheeran, and Arctic Monkeys. The venue has also been the set for lots of films such as P.S I Love You!

Although live music is its speciality, Whelan's boasts the essential elements of a Dublin pub - cheap spirits, Guinness, and friendly locals, so a great stag night is guaranteed!

Dtwo

It doesn't get much louder, bigger, or better than Dtwo. A two-floor bar, beer garden, and club, it's hugely popular with stag and hen parties and is located inside the Harcourt Hotel (which will be very convenient if this is where you'll be staying).

There's also an all-weather terrace, so you can still enjoy the lively atmosphere when the Dublin weather takes a predictable turn for the worse. With the capacity to accommodate up to 500 people, the terrace even has a "backyard BBQ", serving kebabs, burgers, and loads more delicious grub.
