What Our Clients Say
Rated 4.5★ on Google · Trusted by Dublin's leading companies
Old Fashioned Sam's is one of the venues we recommend most for corporate clients in Dublin. Four independently bookable spaces under one roof means we can match it to almost any brief — from a boardroom dinner for 30 to a full venue buyout for 500. The feedback from clients has been consistently strong, particularly on the quality of food and how smoothly the events are managed.
Find A Venue
We hosted a brand launch for one of our clients in Laura's Restaurant. The room was stunning — our guests couldn't stop talking about the space. The team worked around our setup timeline perfectly, gave us full control of the room for styling, and the food and cocktails matched the quality our clients expect. We've had three enquiries since from people who attended asking how to book the same space for their own events.
Publicity Loft
We took over the ground floor for a team event — over 150 people across the bar and courtyard. The space handled the numbers effortlessly. Our people could move between inside and the courtyard all night, which kept the energy going. The drinks were outstanding, the food kept coming, and our event manager made sure we didn't have to worry about a thing. Already looking at dates for our Christmas party.

Common Questions
Everything you need to know before booking.
Every event includes a dedicated event manager, exclusive use of your chosen space, full AV and sound, and flexible table layouts. Food and drinks packages are tailored to your brief and budget.
What's included in a private event booking?
We recommend booking at least 4–6 weeks ahead for private spaces, and 8–12 weeks for full venue buyouts. Popular dates (Fridays, Saturdays, December) book out early — the sooner you enquire, the more options we can offer.
How far in advance should we book?
Minimum spend varies by space, date, and time. We'll confirm this in your proposal so there are no surprises.
Is there a minimum spend?
Absolutely. We have a full sound system ready to go. Bring your own DJ, band, or entertainment — or ask us to arrange something from our network of Dublin performers.
Can we bring our own DJ or entertainment?
Of course. Our kitchen handles vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and allergen-specific menus as standard. Just let us know when booking.
Can you accommodate dietary requirements?
The ground floor bar and courtyard are fully wheelchair accessible. Please contact us to discuss specific accessibility needs for other floors.
