Did you know that an Irish pub can teach you more about Ireland than a museum?
On this walking tour, you'll discover why the pub is the true social heart of the island. This isn't a classic pub crawl or standard tourist walk, but rather a true historical tour of the pubs of South Dublin.
📍 We'll visit a curated selection of traditional pubs, each with its own unique style, history, and atmosphere. At each stop, you'll learn unique anecdotes, interesting details, and little-known aspects of Irish culture that can only be discovered inside a good pub.
🍻 On the tour you will learn:
- The history and evolution of pubs in Ireland.
- Traditions and customs of the locals.
- How to recognize an authentic pub.
- What kind of music is heard in a traditional session .
- What local beers are worth trying (and where to find them!).
- And much more!
An ideal tour for those who want to learn about Irish culture from a different perspective. After this experience, I guarantee you'll never look at pubs the same way again.
Reserve your spot!
This tour does not include walkers' consumption inside the pubs, but of course you can!
