Dublin beer gardens to try while the sun is out

Dublin is experiencing one of its hottest spells of the year, with temperatures reaching up to 27C on some days. The warm weather is presented as a chance to meet friends for after-work drinks outdoors before the conditions change. Several popular beer gardens and pubs are recommended for enjoying cold pints in sunny spots. Toners on Baggot Street opens at 11am and offers a yard known for serving exceptional Guinness. Fade Street Social in Dublin 2 features a rooftop terrace with views over busy corners and a cocktail hour schedule. Blackbird in Rathmines provides craft beers and IPAs in an outdoor yard with fairy lights and candlelight. Wigwam in Dublin 1 offers a rooftop terrace for city-centre drinking, and Bonobo in Smithfield provides outdoor seating alongside its curated food and style.

"Dublin is in the middle of one its hottest spells yet this year with temperatures soaring up to 27C on some days, it's a good time to grab a friend for a quick after-work pint in the sun before its set to disappear."

"Toners, Baggot Street One of Dublin's oldest pubs, the doors open to Toners at 11am - just in time for the sun to stream in. For those who manage to get the coveted sunniest spot, Toner's yard comes stocked with what some has been called the "best Guinness in the world". If the vibe for the evening is a south side pub with brass taps and loads of sunlight, Toners is the place to be."

"Fade Street Social, Dublin 2 If the day calls for a city centre rooftop beer, we know a place. Fade Street Social's rooftop garden terrace overlooks some of the busiest corners of Dublin - and there's time to make it to happy hour just as the sun streams in. This week, the bar is doing cocktail hour from Sunday to Wednesday."

"Blackbird, Rathmines Now for the alternatives who might be looking for some dark corners and good music, Blackbird in Rathmines is the place to be. Dubliners can grab their favourite craft beers and IPAs before heading out to the outdoor yard. Amongst the fairy lights and candlelight, the pints can be paired with some good old-fashioned sunshine and chatter."
