Christmas parties in
Dublin City, done properly
Rooftop views, city lights below and DJs who know exactly when to turn it up.
Right in the heart of Dublin, The Dean is made for festive nights that go from drinks to dinner to dancing. From long lunches and rooftop dinners at Sophie's, to big private parties in The Marshall Room, to a few drinks that become a few more at The Dean Bar, we have the space for it.
Whether it's 10 people, 300 people, a seated dinner, a drinks reception or a full venue takeover, we have options to make 2026 the Christmas party they will talk about until next year.

Holds up to 120 guests standing.

Sophie's
Sophie's is where Christmas lunch becomes Christmas dinner, dinner becomes cocktails and somebody eventually asks for one more song. With Dublin rolling out below you, it's a proper setting for a festive celebration.

Holds up to 40 guests standing.
Food packages from €46pp*.
The Penthouse
For smaller cocktail-style Christmas gatherings, The Penthouse gives your group a space away from the crowd, with all the good bits of a proper Dean night close by. Talk to the team about food, drinks and making the space yours for the evening.
The Green Room
The Green Room is made for intimate Christmas dinners and festive catch-ups when you want a private space without making a whole production of it.

Holds up to 15 guests standing.
Food packages from €46pp.*
Don't let the bells end
Why call it a night when the rooms are upstairs?
Make an overnight of it and give the group a soft landing after the party. Wake up slowly with breakfast at Sophie's or order room service if that's more the mood. Then hit the Power gym and thermal recovery suite to reset before heading back into the world.
If you need rooms for your guests, add accommodation to your enquiry and the team will talk you through the options.

Can our guests stay overnight?

Absolutely. If December gets away from you, January is a great excuse to get everyone together once the rush is over.
