Where to enjoy a late night in Dublin

No late night guide to Dublin is complete without reference to Pygmalion. Bar, club and restaurant extraordinaire, you won’t want to miss out on a trip here. During the day Pygmalion offers tasty food and expertly made coffee, but it’s after the sun goes down that this place truly becomes alive. Expect themed club nights, musical performances, great DJ sets, drag shows, and much more. Take advantage of their two-for-one cocktail offer and dance the night away. A must visit for anyone wanting to paint the town red!

For a night out with a difference, look no further than Token – a restaurant, bar and retro arcade hybrid that’s guaranteed to provide hours of fun. Token has over 32 machines, 32 beer taps, and a food menu to suit all tastes. From vegan macaroni cheese to decadent buttermilk fried chicken burgers, the hearty fare is perfect to soak up any excess alcohol! Hosting a range of different events (gaming and non-gaming related) – from film screenings and board game meet-ups, to pinball leagues, eating challenges and even beer tastings, there’s something for everyone.

For a seriously classy late night soirée, head to The Rooftop Bar & Terrace at The Marker. Stylish, luxurious and sophisticated, here guests are treated to 360° views of Dublin’s most spectacular sights, including the Docklands, Dublin Mountains and the Irish sea. Every evening the stunning rooftop terrace transforms into a relaxed lounge, complete with soft lighting and comfy seating where you will be invited to unwind. On offer are an array of exquisite, expertly prepared cocktails and tasty sharing boards that showcase some of Ireland’s finest produce.

Sometimes a cold pint in a traditional pub is the perfect set-up for a great night out. Bad Bobs is far from mundane though. This cosy waterhole is always filled with chatter, the sound of clinking glasses, and excellent live music. Conveniently located in the heart of Dublin, this spot is perfect for every occasion. Post-date cocktail? Catching up with friends? Gearing up for a big night out? Bad Bobs has you covered! The staff are super friendly, and the atmosphere is relaxed. A classic for a reason. 

10 Fleet Street offers unique and memorable dishes as well as some of the capital’s most delicious cocktails. There’s a wide array of seating available – from large booths that are perfect for groups, to the outdoor courtyard garden which is decked out in pretty fairy lights – making it a great spot for just about everyone. The drinks menu was carefully designed by the master mixologist, Rui Guerra, whose menu is designed to “bring you on a journey around the globe”. The décor is glam, but the atmosphere is relaxed. A great spot for a low-key late-night tipple.
