1. Dublin Pub Crawl
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 1 reviews
Dublin is where pubs are born. Some don't survive, many leave the Irish shore, several have mid-life crises, but few are ageing as gracefully as the stable pubs that bestow so much character on Dublin. Avoid the tourist traps and fake 'Irish' pubs! Escape with the locals to learn how to savour a pint of Guinness. Find out how to ensure you always get a great pint and why it's important! Follow in the footsteps of the Irish literary giants like Patrick Kavanagh, Flann O'Brien and Brendan Behan. If Dublin has hidden gems, they're the pubs that don't advertise to tourists. The locals. The authentic Irish pub where a conversation is flowing faster than the beer, where the character of the pub is as fascinating as the characters in it, where literature, society and history eternally lives. Best time to start is 7 pm assuming you'll have eaten dinner prior to the tour. Bring a pen - you never know what these aged walls will murmur to your thoughts.
Inclusions: Private tour of Dublin's traditional pubs (not tourist traps!) with a professional tour guide
Exclusions: Drinks are not included in the price of the tour. You may count on spending around €6-8 per drink.

Garvan Rushe is extremely knowledgeable and his passion for the history and culture of Ireland made the tour a blast! We were able to see a remarkable number of sites including Christchurch Cathedral, Dublin Castle, the Temple Bar area, Grafton Street, St. Stephen's Green, Trinity College, The General Post Office, Ha'penny Bridge, and others while enjoying food and drinks from stops at Leo Burdock, The Bank, Bewley's on Grafton Street, and an assortment if Irish cheeses and beer and whiskeys at Darkey Kelley's. A wonderful experience and the highlight of our trip to Dublin during a difficult time (03/12/20).
