Ireland's Nightlife

Travel through a land rich with many pubs where you'll never have to go far when you're thirsty

The Pub Culture

With 10,000 pubs in a country smaller than the state of Maine, Ireland is a natural choice for your Spring Break vacation. Pub-life is the center of Irish culture and tradition, as people from near and far come to gather over a pint to tell stories and jokes long into the wee-hours of the morning.  Meet other Spring Breakers from around the States to discover the pub culture which has made Ireland famous for years.

A Land of Music

With legends like U2 and Van Morrison hailing from this culture rich country, it's no wonder why Ireland's nightlife revolves around the music scene. Nearly all night venues offer patrons a musical mixture of live bands playing a combination of popular rock and traditional Irish music and DJs spinning the hottest tracks.

Ireland

Ireland's nightlife offers Spring Breakers a wide variety of venues, entertainment styles and music. In Galway, feel like you've stepped into a traditional American college-town. In Cork, you'll find a little bit of everything. And in Dublin, you can find yourself enjoying the multiple "layers" of a Super Pub. No matter where you find yourself throughout the country, you'll always be near a pub with plenty of stout to quench your greatest thirst.

Dublin

The party starts at midnight in Ireland's capital city, Dublin, said to have some of the most eventful night scenes in all of Europe. In the Temple Bar district, bar hoppers stroll the streets with activity all night long. In addition, find lots of party action and live music in new "super pubs" which combine the traditional Irish pub with trendy night clubs for a two-in-one combo to please everyone in the group. The real party animals will join locals for the "after-party" on Leeson Street in Dublin's basement clubs.

Galway

With a combination of lively students, great festivals and year-round visitors, Galway has one of the most vibrant entertainment scenes in the world! This college-town sets pubs at the center of the city's greatest attractions hosting live music 7-nights a week. Head to Eyre Square, Ellington Street and Dominic Street for the largest pub crowds and be sure to order the "Buckfast" a student favorite, made with tonic wine; a cheap way to get drunk.

Cork

From traditional pubs to clubs to The Cork Opera House (Ireland's only purpose built opera house) you're sure to find something to entertain and please. Oliver Plunkett Street is home to the popular Old Oak Bar, and MacCutain Street boasts the Everyman Palace Theatre housing room to cut loose and dance or chill on a couch and watch a flick. No matter what your flavor, Cork nightlife is serving something for everyone.
