After a summer of what seemed like endless rain, temperatures are now soaring for September.

This week, the weather looks likely to stay warm and humid with sunny spells and occasional thundery downpours with Met Éireann forecasting temperatures of 24 to 27 degrees.

Although it’s back to school season, there are plenty of beer gardens across Dublin to soak up the sun and make the most of it before autumn properly sets in.

From pints to cocktails, craft beers and fresh food, here are five of the best beer gardens across the city.

Toners

Toners on Baggot Street is one of the oldest pubs in Dublin with a large beer garden. Serving customers since 1734, the pub draws large crowds on match days. The beer garden catches the sun with plenty of seating and serves pizza from Cirillo’s next door.

Bonobo

Bonobo in Smithfield serves a blend of craft beer and cocktails while serving homemade pizza. The beer garden itself is surrounded by greenery and most importantly, is dog-friendly.

The Manhattan

This gastropub in Raheny serves food and craft beer and boasts a large beer garden in the back. On sunny days, The Manhattan, with plenty of picnic tables, is a prime location on the northside, and just a stone’s throw away from St Anne’s Park.

Drury Buildings

Often an overlooked gem in the city is the garden patio in Drury Buildings. The cocktail bar and garden on a patio area spread across different levels offers food with a Mediterranean twist. A new on-street dining area has also recently opened.
