There are certain cities that will instantly make you think of the party spirit – and Dublin is very high indeed on that list. The capital of the Republic of Ireland, a Dublin stag do is an absolutely legendary event – after all, it is estimated that 50% of its citizens are under 25, giving the whole place a youthful and party-friendly atmosphere that you can easily embrace.
Being such a popular and tourist-friendly destination means that Dublin has absolutely everything you might want for a weekend away and so much more besides. If you want to pack your weekend full of pre-planned activities, you’ll have more options than you can possibly schedule into one trip. If you just want to spend some time exploring the area between pre-arranged events, the beautiful scenery and numerous pubs will make sure that every part of your trip is truly memorable.
To ensure you get the absolute best out of your time in the Irish capital, we have put together some incredible packages that combine accommodation, transport, and top-tier activities. For those who want to immerse themselves in the local culture (and by culture, we mean stout), the
Stout & About Package is an absolute must. This expertly crafted itinerary handles everything from your private airport transfers to your central accommodation, and includes the holy grail of Irish tourism: a tour of the Guinness Storehouse with a pint in the panoramic Gravity Bar. To top it off, you will be treated to a guided bar crawl of Temple Bar and guaranteed nightclub entry, ensuring the party doesn't stop until you do.

This youthful atmosphere coupled with the heavy tourist trade means that this city contains a vast array of accommodation options that can be perfectly tailored to suit exactly what your group is looking for. With such a wide selection of options, everyone will be happy – so whether you are looking to keep your budget low and are happy to stay in a hostel, whether you want a posh hotel, or whether you fancy some living space alongside the bedrooms by staying in apartments, Dublin will provide.
Dublin stag dos are infamous for being alcohol-fuelled, and while this is often true, what shouldn’t be overlooked is the great selection of activities that this city is able to offer you as well as just the traditional pubs and bars. This city is able to offer all kinds of traditional activities, including such classics as Clay Pigeon Shooting, Go Karting, Zorb Football, 4x4 Driving, and more. These are always incredibly popular activities at any destination, and Dublin is no exception.
But if you are going to visit Dublin, there are two activities that it would be almost criminal not to take part in – the Guinness Brewery Tour. It is always said that Guinness tastes better in Ireland, as the fresher it is, the better it tastes. So why not try the tastiest pint of all, right there at the brewery itself? However, it is well known that Guinness is an acquired taste, and some people cannot stand it. Luckily, there is another tour of a famous Irish alcohol producer available as a second option – I am talking about the Jameson Distillery Tour. So whether you are a Guinness chugger or a whiskey sipper, these tours are unique to a Dublin stag weekend and are definitely worth your time.
If you are still looking for inspiration on how to fill the daylight hours between pints, we have compiled a list of the absolute best things to do in the city. Our guide to Best Dublin Stag Do Ideas covers everything from the hilarious Pedal Bar tours that let you drink and cycle simultaneously, to the brutal, high-octane thrill of Gaelic Football. It is the perfect resource for building an itinerary that the groom will never forget.
Before we get to talking about the pubs and bars that Dublin can offer you (of which there are many), it is worth spending a moment discussing the other popular evening option for a Dublin stag do, which is a trip to the Greyhound Racing. This evening activity is regularly a part of the itinerary as it combines gambling, drinking, the exhilaration of watching a race, and chilling out with the lads all in one great activity.
While one of the city's most famous musical exports famously sung “Where the Streets Have No Name”, in Dublin there is just one street name you need to remember through your alcoholic haze, and that is Temple Bar. This was developed as Dublin’s cultural quarter and now contains a huge array of nightspots as well as street performers and music venues, giving you entertainment throughout the day and night and way into the next morning.
No matter what your preferred drinks, what types of pub and bar you enjoy, and whether you want to hit a nightclub or a gentlemen’s club to finish the night off, Temple Bar is the place to be for the best evening out. In fact, we highly recommend arranging a pub crawl around the area, so that locals with great knowledge and experience can show you all of the best places to drink.
Getting to Dublin from the UK is a piece of cake. Direct flights are available from a great selection of airports across the country, and these flights take somewhere between an hour and ninety minutes. The travel from Dublin airport to the city centre tends to be about another thirty minutes maximum. This means that no matter where you are flying from in the UK, you could be at your destination and enjoying a drink two hours after you left, which is a pretty quick turnaround for any trip abroad.
Getting around in Dublin itself is pretty easy too. They have a very comprehensive bus network, with a tram system as well and even bicycle and motorbike hire. In other words, getting from A to B is easy, no matter where you start from.
In short, a Dublin stag do is an out-of-this-world experience that everyone should try at least once. The Guinness Tour is absolutely amazing and the taste of fresh Guinness at the end of it is an absolute eye-opener.
