Craft Beer Bars in Dublin: Where to Sip Something Different
Whether you’re a seasoned beer nerd or just over the usual lager, Dublin’s craft beer scene has something for everyone. And if you're looking to explore it without trekking across the city, Tapped Late Bar & Kitchen is one of the best spots to start — with 50 taps pouring everything from hazy IPAs to crisp lagers and the occasional sour that makes you say, “huh... that actually works.”
Why Dublin’s Craft Beer Scene Deserves Your Time
Once dominated by the big names, Dublin is now a hub for independent brewers. Local outfits like Whiplash, Rascals, and Trouble Brewing are constantly pushing boundaries, and bars like Tapped give them the stage they deserve — no punter pressure, just great beer served right.
Craft beer isn’t just about IPAs either. You’ll find red ales, saisons, porters, pilsners, wheat beers, and more. And the best part? Most of it is brewed right here in Ireland.
50 Taps, No Filler
At Tapped, we believe variety is everything — as long as it tastes great. Our tap wall rotates regularly and features a mix of Irish craft, international gems, and a few experimental pours for the adventurous.
IPAs that punch
Stouts that comfort
Sours, saisons, lagers that surprise
Not sure where to start? Just ask the bar team. We love helping people find their next favourite pint.
Not Just for Beer Heads
Tapped’s appeal isn’t limited to craft diehards. Whether you’re into pints, cocktails, or just good chat over a few rounds, our bar caters to all. Come with a mixed group and everyone’s happy — the beer snob, the spicy margarita girlie, the “I’ll just have a Guinness” drinker.
Plus, our kitchen and DJs round out the experience. This isn’t a tasting room. It’s a proper late bar that just happens to take beer seriously.
