Not unlike The Bernard Shaw, this Kilkenny pub has a very cosy outdoor area and a bus serving food. You’ll be chillin’ like Bob Dylan in no time. (Sorry.)

15 beer gardens in Ireland you need to visit this summer
SUMMER IS FAST approaching and you now what that means — outdoor pints!
But where to go?
Here are some good places to start.
1. The Living Room, Dublin
The largest beer garden in Dublin is located in The Living Room right in the heart of the city centre. Warning: it might get hectic.
2. Geoff’s, Waterford
One of the most popular drinking spots in Waterford is also home to one of the loveliest beer gardens. There’s even palm trees!
* May not be actual palm trees
3. The Bernard Shaw, Dublin
Nothing says summer like congregating by the Big Blue Bus on a sunny evening, does it? Well, except maybe a pint outside Grogan’s.
4. The Courtyard on Sober Lane, Cork
Just looking at pictures of The Courtyard on Sober Lane will make you thirsty.
5. The Locke Bar, Limerick
Overlooking the Abbey River, The Locke Bar is the perfect place for basking in the sunshine and nursing a pint.
6. O’Connells, Galway
If you’re ever in Galway, this Eyre Square haunt is the place to go to work on your tan and sip on refreshing pints.

7. The Moorings, Dungarvan
An utterly idyllic spot in Dungarvan complete with views of the harbour. What more could you possibly want?
8. Gings Bar and Riverside Beer Garden, Carrick-on-Shannon
Ice cold pint by the river as the sun beats down on you?
One word: yassss.
9. Drury Buildings, Dublin
This Fade Street spot has a frightfully cool outdoor area and an outstanding drinks menu.
Get thee there immediately.
10. Scannell’s Bar, Clonakilty
The place to go should you find yourself in one of the most picturesque parts of the country.
11. Billy Byrne’s, Kilkenny
Not unlike The Bernard Shaw, this Kilkenny pub has a very cosy outdoor area and a bus serving food. You’ll be chillin’ like Bob Dylan in no time. (Sorry.)
12. Curragower Bar, Limerick
As this TripAdvisor reviewer says…
So now.
13. Swagman, Sligo
Relaxed spot with a bustling beer garden and musical entertainment.
Sign us up.
14. The Beachcomber Bar, Donegal
Look at that view. Need we say any more?
15. The Barge, Dublin
Okay, not strictly a beer garden, but we’d be remiss not to mention The Barge.
Look.
