The legal age to buy alcohol in Ireland is 18. You must be able to prove your age. A passport, National Identity Card, Garda Síochána Age Card (Age Card issued by Irish Police), drivers licence are all acceptable. Bouncers are very strict and very often ask people who obviously look over 18 so make sure you bring I.D.
