18 and you will probably need ID.

Answer 15

The legal drinking age is 18, but enforcement varies - in cities most pubs are fairly strict but some rural pubs or pubs in smaller towns tend to be a little more lenient - if you look 18 or thereabouts you are not always asked for ID. Most clubs have a higher age requirement - usually 21 - but many clubs in Ireland have a door policy that depends on whether or not the doormen like the look of you - if they don't you won't get in no matter what age you are.
