Your guide to hen nights in Dublin

The hen night is undoubtedly one of the most important pre-wedding traditions the bride-to-be's final chance to let her hair down and forget all about the stress and hassle of organising a wedding. Although a club or bar is a great end to the night, spending the entire evening moving from one watering hole to another is wasting the opportunity for a fantastic, unforgettable Dublin hen night. With comedy clubs to get you all laughing, casinos to get you all rich, and limousines to get you all from door to door, Dublin hen nights have everything you need for a world-class celebration.

• Karaoke - The craic means it's not unusual for the night to end with arms flung around shoulders and enthusiastic (if out of tune) singing. We're huge advocates of starting the night that way too not only is it certain to break any lingering ice, but how else will everyone know that you girls just want to have fun?
• A Night at the Dogs - The perfect starter to a big night out, and Dublin's famous for its racing. You don't need to be an expert in dog racing to enjoy this just place a few bets on the dogs with the silliest names, grab a drink or a meal, and the night is off!
• Irish Show - Only available on hen nights in Dublin, this is a brilliant way to include all the entertainment your night needs in one easy go. There's a 3-course meal, there's comedy, and there's live music all traditionally Irish, of course!

Bars, Pubs & Clubs

Just as no hen night is complete without a few drinks with your girlfriends, no trip to Dublin is complete without sampling some of the many pubs the city has to offer. It's like the two were made to go together! An outstanding area for hen parties in Dublin is the Temple Bar area. Some of Dublin's best nightspots, restaurants and bars line the narrow, cobbled streets, and when your hen party is in full swing Temple Bar offers over 20 different pubs and bars to enjoy a pint of Guinness in, before heading on to a nightclub to dance the night away.

If you're not a Guinness girl, don't worry - amongst Dublin's hundreds of bars, there's plenty of choice for hens on a night out. Try Grafton or Dawson Streets, for chic cocktail bars you won't find elsewhere in the city.
