Whether you like it or not, the time to get booking for Christmas is before Halloween.
I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this, but it's true. I know, I know. Halloween hasn't even been and gone yet. But like it or not, the holidays are coming, and unfortunately it's time to make those Dublin Christmas bookings now. Having already started to make my own plans for the festive period, I can tell you that it's tough out there, particularly if you have a big group, so much as you want to continue enjoying spooky season, you've got to get planning for Chrimbo too.
Hole in the Wall
Location: Phoenix Park
Starting off with a winner, the most Christmassy pub in Dublin is back and already open for Christmas bookings. Given how everything basically had to close last year due to covid, 2022 is the perfect time to visit Hole in the Wall. Their decor is always insane, embracing the festive period like no other, and definitely worth a visit with some pals.

Bahh33
Location: Dawson Street
If your favourite part of Christmas is the meat, then Bahh33 is a great spot for you. They have an authentic gaucho BBQ experience, and for groups of eight or more they recommend the The Authentic Gaucho BBQ Rodízio with one drink and one dessert for €59.90pp.
For groups of more than six they ask you to book more than one table.

Happy Endings

That's right, a Dublin spot definitely worth considering for Christmas bookings is Happy Endings. Why? Two words. Turkey nugs. I think I rest my case.
