Dublin: Traditional Pub Walking Tour

About This Tour

This is the Dublin pub experience done properly - not a crawl through the tourist traps of Temple Bar, but a four-hour guided journey through real local pubs where the drinks are excellent, the music is live, and the stories flow as freely as the Guinness.

The evening begins with a tasting of three different styles of Irish craft beer, with cider options for those who prefer it. Your guide walks you through the booming craft scene in Ireland - the breweries, the styles, and the passion driving the movement. The next stop is dedicated to what Dublin does better than anywhere else on earth: a pint of Guinness. Your guide explains why stout genuinely tastes different in Dublin, and you get to test that claim with a perfectly poured glass in one of the city’s finest stout pubs.

From there, the tour moves to Irish whiskey. A single malt tasting introduces you to the resurgence of an industry that has transformed in recent years, with new distilleries opening across the country. The whiskey is followed by a taster of Irish milk gin and tonic - a distinctly Irish twist on a classic. Throughout the evening, optional Irish food pairings are available to complement the drinks. The night finishes in a proper local pub with live traditional music, the kind of session where musicians play for the love of it and the atmosphere is impossible to manufacture.
