The businesses of Dublin need the support of our community.
Support Dublin was developed during COVID-19 to support small businesses in Dublin. They still need our support, now, more than ever. Local businesses are the backbone of Dublin’s economy, but a rise in costs and high inflation pose big risks to their future. Support Dublin is a place for us to get together, find the best way to support our favourite local businesses and initiatives and do our bit to strengthen our community.

Under each tab below are our local businesses, those run by our friends, our families and our neighbours. Information on supporting these businesses is beside each.

Irish Whiskey Museum
Whiskey Museum
The Irish Whiskey Museum is a visitor attraction situated on Grafton St opposite the main gates of Trinity College. Opened in November 2014, it is a family run business, independent from the drinks industry. The Irish Whiskey Museum tells the unbiased history of the whiskey industry in Ireland and offers fully guided tours and whiskey tastings daily from 10am to 6pm. All tours include a whiskey tasting masterclass with a minimum of three samples from different distilleries. The tours are interactive and fun.
The Irish Whiskey Museum has launched The Whiskey Lock-In, live premium whiskey tastings that happen every Friday night 8-9PM from 29th May. These innovative online events include four carefully curated miniature whiskeys delivered to the guests’ doors in time for kick-off along with a souvenir Irish Whiskey Museum shot glass. Within the current climate, virtual experiences are all the rage and this fits the bill perfectly. As an added extra, since the Irish Whiskey Museum is an Irish owned company, it’s also a chance to support local while having a great night in!
