Group Drinks in Dublin | Urban Brewing
Looking for a great bar for your group in Dublin? Urban Brewing is one of the most versatile venues in the city for group drinks, whether it's a casual after-work, a hen or stag party, a corporate networking event or birthday drinks in the heart of the Docklands.
We have multiple bar spaces across our venue in the CHQ Building, Custom House Quay, that work brilliantly for groups of all sizes, from a casual round of drinks for 20 to a large-scale event for up to 180 guests. Flexible, atmospheric and unlike anywhere else in Dublin's IFSC.
Our Bar Spaces for Groups
We have three distinct spaces that work for group drinks at Urban Brewing, each with its own character and atmosphere.
Ground-Level Bar Our bright, lively ground-floor bar is the perfect base for group drinks in Dublin city centre. Ideal for groups of 20 to 50 people, with a buzzing atmosphere, over 600 drinks on offer and craft beer brewed right here on-site. Great for after-work drinks, corporate networking and casual group gatherings any day of the week.
Ground-Level Bar & Terrace When the weather plays ball, our sunny terrace on Custom House Quay is one of the best spots in Dublin's Docklands for group drinks. Combined with the ground-level bar, we can accommodate groups of up to 180 guests, perfect for summer parties, outdoor birthday drinks and large corporate events. Available for groups subject to a minimum spend for dedicated areas.
The Vault Bar Downstairs in our 200-year-old vaulted cellars, our Vault Bar is a uniquely atmospheric space for group drinks in Dublin. Ideal for groups of up to 55 guests, it offers a more intimate and distinctive setting, perfect for birthday drinks, hen and stag parties, and group gatherings that deserve something a little different.
Larger Groups For groups of 100 or more, we can accommodate your group across multiple spaces in our venue. Get in touch and our team will put together the best option for your group size and occasion.
Dedicated Group Spaces & Bar Areas
Whether you're looking for a dedicated area for your group or a more casual booking where everyone spreads out and enjoys the venue, Urban Brewing offers flexible options across our spaces in the CHQ Building. Our bar areas sit alongside our restaurant and brewery, so your group gets to experience the full Urban Brewing atmosphere while having their own corner of the venue.
For groups requiring a dedicated space, minimum spend may apply depending on the size of the group and the area required. Our team will talk you through the options when you get in touch.
