How to find a hangout in Dublin tonight

Evening plans that work in Dublin
- A table at a pub quiz: the quiz gives everyone something to talk about.
- A trad session in the back room of a pub: you can just listen and nobody expects small talk.
- A walk along the Grand Canal or a loop of Phoenix Park, best on the long evenings from May to August.
- A five-a-side game, a climbing session or an evening class: they run weekly, so one good night becomes a regular one.
- Food after: a hangout that starts in a pub and moves on for dinner is how a lot of Dublin plans go.
Pick a plan close to where you live or work
Dublin is easier when the plan is on your side of the city. Choose a hangout near you, whether that is the north side, the south side or the coast around Dún Laoghaire, so that getting there and getting home does not become the reason you cancel. Temple Bar is busy with visitors, so for a relaxed night out look at the quieter streets around it.
Getting there and getting home
The Luas, DART and Dublin Bus all run on a Leap Card, and services thin out late at night. Check your last Luas, DART or bus before you agree to a late plan, or share a taxi home with the group.
Dark evenings are not a reason to stay in
In December the sun sets at around four in the afternoon, so an evening plan feels late even when it starts at six. Pick an indoor plan from November to February, such as a quiz, a session or a class, and save the canal and park walks for the light evenings.
First hangout safety
Meet in a busy pub, café or public place, tell a friend where you are going and keep the first plan to an hour or two. You can block or report anyone instantly, and optional selfie verification confirms a profile before you meet.
