Christmas Party Venues Dublin
Christmas Party Dublin 2026 at Urban Brewing
Some venues do Christmas. We live it.
Urban Brewing is one of Dublin's most sought-after Christmas party venues. A restaurant and bar with its own brewery on-site, set inside the historic CHQ Building on Custom House Quay, in the heart of the IFSC and Docklands.
Two-hundred-year-old vaulted cellars, a glass-roofed brewhouse, multiple bars and a team that genuinely loves this time of year.
And when Christmas arrives at Urban, you feel it the moment you walk in. Every corner of the venue is decorated, from the vaulted stone arches draped in festive lights to the brewhouse above the bar glowing warm against the winter sky.
Whether you're planning an intimate team lunch, a corporate Christmas dinner for 100 or a full venue celebration for up to 350 guests, this is the setting that makes it memorable.
Festive Set Lunch from €38pp · Christmas Set Dinner from €68pp
Why Urban Brewing for Your Christmas Party?
There are plenty of restaurants in Dublin. There's only one Urban Brewing at Christmas.
Picture this: your team arriving into the warmth of the vaulted cellars, fairy lights winding through 200-year-old stone arches, the smell of craft beer from the brewery above, glasses being filled, laughter echoing off the walls. That's an Urban Christmas.
We've been hosting some of Dublin's best Christmas parties for years, corporate teams, large groups, intimate dinners and everything in between. We know what makes a great Christmas event and we put everything into making yours exactly that.
And then there's the decoration. Every year we transform the entire venue for Christmas, the vaulted arches, the bars, the brewhouse, the terrace. It's one of those things you have to see to believe, and one of the things our guests mention most in their reviews year after year. Walking into Urban Brewing in December is an experience in itself.
Our Spaces
We have multiple spaces across the venue that work brilliantly for Christmas, each with its own character and atmosphere.
Stack A Restaurant
Seated up to 270
Our underground vaulted restaurant, set within 200-year-old brick and stone cellars, is one of the most extraordinary dining settings in Dublin. Available for semi-exclusive group dining or exclusive hire for larger celebrations. The perfect backdrop for a festive set dinner or Christmas lunch.
Ground-Level Bar & Terrace
up to 180 guests
Bright, lively and full of festive atmosphere. Our ground-level bar combined with the outdoor terrace can accommodate groups of up to 180 guests, ideal for standing receptions, after-work Christmas drinks and casual group celebrations.
The Vault Bar
reception of up to 55
Our downstairs Vault Bar is a uniquely atmospheric space for more intimate Christmas gatherings, perfect for smaller groups who want something special without the full venue commitment.
Exclusive Venue Hire
Hosting a larger Christmas event? Full venue hire is available for groups of up to 350 guests, subject to minimum spend. Get in touch to discuss options.
A Christmas Like No Other | The Urban Brewing Atmosphere
There's something that happens at Urban Brewing in December that you can't really plan for and it's one of the things our guests talk about most.
On any given evening, multiple groups are celebrating at the same time across the venue. Different companies, different occasions, different groups of friends, all sharing the same extraordinary atmosphere. Loud, warm, festive and full of life.
It's not a private function room. It's Urban Brewing at Christmas. And if you've never experienced it, this is your year.
Early-Week Christmas Package
Christmas Set Dinner + Welcome Cocktail for €68pp
The cocktail is on us, Sunday to Tuesday.
Coats off, cocktail in hand, fairy lights overhead. The best Christmas parties start exactly like this.
Early in the week, you still get everything that makes Christmas at Urban Brewing special: the lights through the stone arches, the decorated vaults and our three-course festive dinner.
It’s the perfect way to kick off the week in Christmas spirit.
Available Sunday to Tuesday evenings, for groups of 16+.
Christmas Party Menus
Our festive menus are designed to bring people together, great food, great drinks and the kind of meal that people talk about long after the last glass is poured.

Drinks Before, Drinks After | The Full Christmas Night Out in Dublin
One of the things that makes Urban Brewing so well suited to Christmas parties is the ability to move between spaces across the evening, something most venues simply can't offer.
Your group can start the night with arrival drinks in the Vault Bar or at the ground-level bar, a glass of sparkling wine, a round of cocktails or a beer bucket to kick things off. Then move through to Stack A Restaurant for your festive dinner. And when the plates are cleared and the mood is high, head back upstairs to the bar to keep the night going, with a DJ, live music or simply great drinks and good company until late.
It's a full night out in a single venue. No taxis between locations, no losing half the group on the way. Just one brilliant evening that flows naturally from start to finish.
For groups that want to add entertainment to their evening, we can accommodate DJs and live music, bringing the full Christmas party atmosphere to your celebration. Get in touch to discuss what's possible for your group.

Urban Brewing is in the CHQ Building, Custom House Quay, Dublin 1 (D01 Y6P5), right in the middle of the IFSC and Docklands, steps from Google, Meta, Salesforce, JP Morgan and the Convention Centre Dublin.
Getting here is easy. George's Dock LUAS stop is a one-minute walk from our door, and Connolly Station (DART and mainline rail) is just two minutes away. If your group is coming by car, we don't have on-site parking, but Connolly Station Car Park and several other options around the IFSC are a short walk from the venue.
For teams based in the Docklands or IFSC, that means no taxis, no long walk in the cold, and no excuse to leave early. Just a short stroll from the office straight into the Christmas atmosphere.
