New Year in Dublin


New Year in Isaacs Hostel & Jacobs Inn

Come and celebrate the New Year with us.
We have our last few beds available to book.

We will kick start the celebrations with our last BBQ of the year in our heated garden at 6pm on New Year’s Eve, followed by some live music in Isaacs hostel with Curt Krause.

There is a lot happening around the city too here are a few suggestions for you….
If you want to party your way into 2010 then you couldn't be in a better place than Dublin. You'll find lots of traditional Irish bars, disco bars, and nightclubs which will all have their own countdown at midnight. You'll find an excellent selection in Temple Bar – Dublin's vibrant cultural quarter. If you're heading to a restaurant then book well in advance.
Why not ring in the New Year to the sound of the Christchurch Bells which will be heard ringing throughout the entire city at midnight. This is a big tradition in Dublin city centre where hundreds of people flock to Christchurch Cathedral to hear the tolling of these famous bells. The cathedral has a record number of 19 bells. If you're going to this event then get there early – wrap up warm, get a good spot and join in with the other travelers outside the cathedral.
Other New Year's events include the Lord Mayors New Years Day Parade. This fun and entertaining parade hosts some fantastic marching bands from home and abroad. The parade starts off on Parnell Street (just north of O’Connell St,), makes its way up through Dublin’s main thoroughfare O' Connell Street where all the acts stop and perform for Dublin’s Lord Mayor.
Another New Years Day activity to enjoy is ice-skating and this year again, Smithfield on ice (at Smithfield) and 7up on Ice (in the RDS).
All events are within walking distance of both hostels so why not stay in the heart of the city this New Year.
Happy New Year to all our Guests
