The Golden Mile Experience

Welcome to the worlds most famous pub crawl The Golden Mile Experience, a.k.a The Baggot Mile, Dublin, the city that boasts the best
bars in the world bar none, is home to the Golden Mile Experience. A mile of Dublin’s most enchanting and enduring bars, along a route treaded for over 100 years by fun seeking explorers.

This is a great opportunity to see some of Dublin’s most loved pubs and savour the atmosphere. You can drink whatever you like while visiting these bars as they all have a great selection of teas, coffees and fruit juices as well as beers, wines and spirits.

A great start to your journey. Contemplate the journey ahead in this relaxing basement hotel bar.

Only 100m walk and you arrive at Searsons, a stylish bar that retains its old world charm. Down your drink and move swiftly on. The road ahead is long.

Another of Dublin’s oldest and finest. However don’t be deceived by the front as the ultra modern interior is sure to impress. A great spot for a quick bite (tapas served here) to prepare for the evening.

A small and cosy bar, which means if you have any size of a group at all you will likely fill this place. Don’t worry there is an upstairs and downstairs bar also.

This party bar attracts younger office workers searching for a release after a day at the office. This place has possibly got the longest bar counter in Dublin, great for photographs.

Smyths is a charming old bar opposite the Fifty One. Not even halfway, you must now prepare to cross the canal to make your way to Lower Baggot Street.

A brief walk through Dublins finest Georgian Buildings brings you to Larry Murphys, a cosy darkened pub on the corner of Merrion Street. Have a drink here and rest before the next and final cluster of bars.

Nestled just off Baggot Street, The Pembroke is a very ornate decorative bar catering for the busy office district of Fitzwilliam Square. The weaker members of your group may start to fade away at this stage.

One of Dublins best and most loved bars. Rejuvenate here and get your second wind for the rest of the journey. Take time to savour the atmosphere in Toners, first opened almost 200 years ago and unchanged since. The reddish yellow ceiling is not paint but in fact the result of almost 200 years of smoke stain from tobacco!

Refreshed from leaving Toners make your way a few metres west to The Baggot Inn. This is the only bar in Dublin where you can pull your own pints.

Moving on from the Baggot Inn and directly facing you is Doheny & Nesbitts, an institution in Dublin Pubs. Rub shoulders with politicians and legal high flyers supping pints in this old and original boozer, with its eclectic mix of patrons.

A fitting end to one of the best Pub crawls in the world. O’Donoghues is again one of Dublns oldest and best loved pubs in Dublin. If you still have plenty of energy and are keen for more, hang around because O’Donoghues is famed for its Traditional Irish Music Sessions.
