Realistcly, how much spending money would I need for a weekend in dublin?

Question

So think of Lunch, dinner, drinks for two full days (breakfast is included at hotel)

Answer 1

That's hard to say as there is a lot of variation,  but Dublin is pretty expensive. I'd allow about €10 - 15 for lunch and about €20-30 for dinner. Restaraunts will be extremely busy at the weekend and chances are you will have to wait for a table, so I'd get there early.

As for drinks, it all depends how drunk you plan to get ( lol!) but alcohol is pretty pricey in Dublin, i'd average it out at about €5 per drink, more if you drink something with a mixer, say about €7-8. Some places, nightclubs and the like, will have a cover charge, usually about €10-15.

If you're planning on getting taxis, which I would advise if you're planning on staying out late, they run on a meter. The prices are as follows:

Daytime (8am m-10pm) meter starts at €3.40 for the first km and then goes up €0.15c every 1/6 of a km (every 28 seconds pretty much).

Nightime(10pm - 8am) & Sundays the meter starts at €3.70 then goes up €0.20c every 1/6 of a km.

Hope that helps, enjoy your weekend!

Answer 2

lunch can put you at around 12euro a head.dinner around 20euro a head both with maybe 1 drinks

drinks are around 5euro and up but depends

soft drinks can be just as expensive

tranport can cost 4 2days around 15euro

nightlife around 30-4euro a night

taxis can be expensive if you arent with friends

Answer 3

That depends on if that includes the hotel/hostel or not. If your hotel is already paid for, then 100-150€ will be plenty. I stayed in a hostel, bought food from the market to cook at the hostel, and didn't drink much. I spent about 100€ for three days. That included the trinkets I bought there for my family.
