After arriving and dropping bags at your accommodation, start the weekend with a hearty Irish brunch at The Woollen Mills, where shared plates and river views set a relaxed tone. Walk off the meal with a stroll through Molly Malone Statue and the lively streets of Temple Bar, stopping for photos and a pre-pub pint at The Palace Bar before the afternoon's official pub crawl begins.
Continue the celebration with a guided craft-beer tasting at The Porterhouse Central, sampling local brews and sharing a platter while the group loosens up. From there, head to The Brazen Head-Ireland's oldest pub-for live traditional music and storytelling, then finish the afternoon with a short walk to [Dublin Castle Gardens](https://www.dublincastle.ie/) for a breath of fresh air before the evening pub crawl begins.
As night falls, head for a pre-dinner cocktail and skyline views at Gravity Bar (Guinness Storehouse) to toast the groom with panoramic shots of the city, then walk to The Long Hall for a classic Victorian pub atmosphere and more pints. Later, dive into the lively music scene at The Cobblestone in Smithfield for trad sessions and singalongs-perfect for group celebrations-and finish with late-night street food at Boojum or F.X. Buckley for a hearty Irish bite before calling it a night.
Begin the day with a lively walking tour through St. Stephen's Green, watching the park wake up before continuing to the elegant aisles of Grafton Street for street performers and quick coffee at Bewley's Grafton Street Café. From there head to the interactive exhibits at EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum to dive into Ireland's global stories, then recharge with a riverside brunch at The Marker Hotel's café offering views of the Liffey and a relaxed spot to plan the afternoon activities.
After a relaxed morning, head east to explore the maritime charm of Howth - stroll the cliff path for sea views, hunt down fresh seafood at the harbor stalls, and grab a round at The Brass Monkey before returning to the city. Back in Dublin, dive into interactive history with a guided tasting and demonstration at Teeling Whiskey Distillery, where you can book a blending experience for the group and toast the groom with a personalised mini-cask to take home.
As evening settles, take the group to Guinness Hop Store for a modern tasting session that digs into hop-forward stouts and seasonal pours, then stroll to Mulligan's for classic pub banter and hearty plates in a relaxed setting. Finish the night with live music and craft cocktails at The Lir Bar (attached to the Abbey Theatre) for a more theatrical vibe, or head to Little Museum of Dublin's late openings or events if there's a special evening talk-perfect for a cultured, low-key end to a busy day before heading back to base.
Ease into the final morning with a relaxed breakfast at Queen of Tarts, savouring freshly baked pastries and a strong Irish coffee in a cosy, vintage setting before packing up. If time allows, take a gentle riverside stroll along the Grand Canal toward Mulligan's of Stoneybatter for a final pint or a light fry - a calm, local send-off that ties together the weekend's pub spirit before heading to the airport or train station.
Spend a leisurely afternoon wandering the charming canalside neighbourhood of Grand Canal Dock, stopping for a light lunch and craft coffee at 3FE Grand Canal while reminiscing about the weekend's highlights. Afterwards, browse artisan goods and last-minute souvenirs at The Chocolate Factory Market on the quay, then enjoy a final pint and live acoustic set at the cosy waterside pub The Exchequer Docklands before making your way to transport with plenty of relaxed memories.
Wind down the weekend with a relaxed final evening at The Church, where you can enjoy hearty Irish comfort food in a converted chapel before settling into live acoustic tunes in the atmospheric nave.
