Rural pub tour, Dublin mountains
Three Mountain Pubs, One Bus, One Night
We run a party bus up into the Dublin mountains for Johnnie Fox's, The Blue Light and Taylors Three Rock, four to five hours from pick-up to drop-off. A couple of bottles of champagne come with the booking, and we collect and drop back at a spot of your choosing in Dublin city.
Three Mountain Pubs
Johnnie Fox's, The Blue Light and Taylors Three Rock, with the bus waiting outside each one so nobody hunts for a taxi.
Champagne on Board
A couple of bottles come with the booking, so the night is going before you reach the mountain road.
Your Driver
They know the mountain roads, and they keep the route to time so nobody is left standing about between stops.
Why groups book it
A Proper Night Out with Nobody Driving Home
We’re family owned, Dublin based and over 20 years experience. The fleet has been newly refurbished and upgraded, and our drivers are fully qualified and well presented. Birthdays, work nights out, stags and hens all book this one, usually because the city centre crawl has been done to death. Give us the date, your numbers and a pick-up point and we’ll price it.
