What is the drinking age in Ireland? Also is there a different age limit for night clubs?

Could you give me some information on Irish pubs?

18 is the Legal age to be sold alcohol in Ireland. In pubs there is a new law that says that pub owners are not allowed an over-21’s or over-23’s policy, so mention it if refused entry.

Always bring ID with you! Driver’s licences are usually accepted, and passports are always accepted.

Nightclubs, as far as I know, are usually 18 or 21 but not under 18.

im taking my daughter to dublin she is 14 will she be allowed in pubs

my daughter is 17 years old,is she allowed in the pub with me from 9.00 to closing time

Typically under 18s are allowed in pubs until 6.30pm. After that it’s at the discretion of the owner. Legally though as far as I know under 18s are not allowed in after 6.30pm.

Im new from London i am 19 living in Dublin, im really confused in which clubs are for 21 or 18!!

Hey i am 17 and was wondering when i go to Ireland/Belfast with my dad am i able to go to nightclubs and bars and such? is it possible?

me and my best friend is going to be 18 and we want to know if we can go in to night clubs and what is the drinking age for being in ireland….

The lagal age for purchase and consumption of alcohol in Ireland is 18. This is pretty strictly enforced, with (for Iriah people) a garda (irish police) ID, passport and full drivers licence accepted. For international IDs, I’d imagine a passport or drivers licence from anywhere in Europe/North America would be accpeted (though they’re not legally obliged to recognise theese). Generally people under 18 will only get into pubs or get served in off-licences if they’re particularly older looking with some sort of fake ID, and they’re usually good at spotting these… also helps if your an attractive girl! Guys aren’t getting in underage! Nightclubs are much trickier and even refuse 18 year olds for a huge amount of reasons. Nightclubs/pubs with dance floors can be over 21 or over 23 if they wish to be and properly display a sign on the outside of the premesis saying as much! If they don’t display that, then your being discriminated against on the basis of age… although good luck arguing this with your typical Dublin bouncer!

hey im 19 and travelling from australia, this whole night club age thing is tricky, are there any real guide lines to follow or is it just what ever the individual club wants???

Hey, im 18 but my friend is 17, and we want to plan a trip to Ireland. I know im aloud to go into the pubs and drink, but is she going to be aloud to come with me? Or is she going to have to leave? How does this work?

Hey im 17 and my mate is 18 we are coming all the way from australia and I wanted to know wether im going to have any chance at all going out anywhere! Even just little pubs and stuff

If you look young (or “border-line”) you’ll probably be asked for ID, especially in City Centre pubs/ clubs. It’s always possible you might not be asked, but be prepared. Don’t expect Ireland to be less lenient than where you’ve just come from!

My daughter is 17 years old, to be 18 in three months time . However her friend from work is having a hen party and will be attending pubs till 10:30pm. How does she go about getting in the pubs with no ID due to not being 18 ? but will be joined by over 18s ? is this possible ?

Im 16, if I go to a pub with my mother, can she buy alcohol for me and I can drink it in the pub? We’re planning to go to Ireland for my 17th birthday

my friends and I are planning our senior trip to go to england then scotland then ireland we are all 18 with passports and id. were good at the pubs?

im planning a trip for my feonce’s 18th next year and was just wondering if you had to be 21 or 18 to drink???

Two friends and I are thinking of making Dublin our senior trip after we graduate. We will all be two or three months from being 18. What can we do, since we wouldn’t be allowed in the pubs after 6:30?

Hey. im thinking about going to dublin for my 21st, some of my friends will still be 20 and i’m not 100% sure on the legal age for drinking is. some of my friends have been in the past, but it was wen they were quite young, and say that you need to be 21 to drink. and online it says that the legal age is 18, 21 or 23. would really appreciate it if some one could clear this up for me. thanks. Jay.

18 is the legal drinking age in Ireland. some pubs and clubs may have an age restriction of 21 or 23 depending on their target aduience they are trying to attract

thats great. thank you for your help 🙂
also do u no where we could stay?
like areas that have a good night life for 20-21?
would be a great help too.

A few of my friends are thinking about going to Dublin for the weekend but people have told us you have to be 21 to get into pubs and Clubs is this true?
Many Thanks

18 IS THE LEGAL DRINKING AGE IN IRELAND AND THEY WILL LOOK FOR ID
