Biggest party bus fleet in Ireland

Swap the Taxis and the Queues for Your Own Bus

We’re a family business based in Dublin with over 20 years experience, and the fleet has been newly refurbished and upgraded. Here’s what your group gets on the night.

Three Legendary Mountain Pubs

Johnnie Fox’s, The Blue Light and Taylors Three Rock. Three of the best-known pubs in the Dublin Mountains, done in one go without a taxi in sight.

Straight in the Door

We reserve your seats in all three pubs ahead of the night. No jostling at the bar for room, no group split across two ends of the place.

Complimentary Drinks

A couple of bottles of champagne or prosecco on board, included in the package, ready when you get on.

Sound, Lights and a Dance Floor

A full music and lighting system, nightclub-style lighting and a glowing dance floor to get the party going between stops.

Your Playlist, Your Night

Plug in your own music and away you go. Our drivers enjoy the sing-along as much as you do.

Luxury Buses, Private Hire

Pick from our luxury party buses or the executive fleet, all newly refurbished and upgraded. The bus and the driver are yours alone for the night.

STEP 01

We Collect You

Pick any spot in Dublin city and we'll be there. The whole group travels together from the off, so nobody is stuck in a taxi behind.

STEP 02

Up into the Mountains

Music on, lights up, out of the city. The bubbly is open long before you reach the first pub.

STEP 03

Pubs Two and Three

Out the door, back on the bus, on to number two and then number three. The sound system keeps going the whole way between them.

STEP 04

Home to the Same Spot

We run you back to the point we collected you from. The standard package is four hours, and most crawls come in around four to five hours door to door.

Customer reviews

A Christmas Pub Crawl You’ll Never Forget

  • How many people fit on each bus?

    We run 16, 41 and 63-seater party buses. Groups start at a minimum of 14 and go up to 63 on one bus. Anything above that we split across two or more buses.

  • What is included in the Christmas pub crawl package?

    Your own luxury party bus, a professional driver, complimentary prosecco, festive music and lighting, and reserved seating in three of the Dublin Mountains’ best pubs. You’ll spend around one hour at each stop before we bring you safely back to your pick-up point.

  • How long does the Christmas pub crawl last?

    The standard package is a four-hour festive pub crawl, and a night out usually runs four to five hours from collection to drop-off. That gives everyone plenty of time for drinks, music and craic at each stop.

  • Is the Christmas pub crawl private or shared?

    All VIP Buses pub crawls are fully private hire. The bus and driver are exclusively for your group, so you can enjoy the night exactly how you want it.

  • How much does the Christmas pub crawl cost?

    Every job is priced on its own, so there is no fixed price list. The size of bus, your pick-up point and the date all move the figure. Each booking covers the full four-hour experience, including driver, transport, prosecco and reserved pub seating. Send us the date and your numbers and the quote is usually back the same working day.

  • Can we play our own music?

    You can. Bring your playlist, plug in and take over the sound system. The one rule is no smoking on the buses.

  • Do you collect outside Dublin city?

    We cover Dublin, all of Leinster and beyond, and we do airport pickups from Dublin, Cork and Shannon. If your night starts somewhere other than the city centre, tell us where and we’ll sort it.
