Christmas Party in Dublin at Urban Brewing
Some venues do Christmas. We live it.
Urban Brewing is one of Dublin's most sought-after Christmas party venues. A brewery, bar and restaurant 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. Dates are filling up fast. Don't leave it too late.
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
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
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
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.
Full Venue Hire
Looking to take over the whole thing? For larger Christmas events, 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.
Christmas 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.
Festive Set Lunch
Perfect for corporate Christmas lunches, team celebrations and daytime group gatherings. A relaxed, well-priced festive menu that works beautifully in our vaulted restaurant. Available for groups, enquire for menu details and pricing.
Christmas Set Dinner
Our flagship festive offering. Three carefully crafted courses, paired with our own craft beers, almost 300 wines and signature cocktails. The full Urban Brewing Christmas experience, available for groups celebrating in style in Stack A Restaurant.
Standing Receptions & Drinks
Not every Christmas party needs to be a sit-down affair. For more informal gatherings, we offer drinks receptions with festive bites, finger food and tapas, perfect for after-work Christmas parties and casual group celebrations across our bar and heated outdoor terrace.
All menus cater to vegetarian, vegan, dairy-free and gluten-free requirements. Menu details and pricing available on request.
Drinks Before, Drinks After | The Full Night Out
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.
