DUBLIN LITERARY PUB CRAWL LIMITED

Founded in 1988, Dublin Literary Pub Crawl Limited brings the city’s rich literary heritage to life through immersive, street‑theatre tours that weave together Dublin’s historic pubs and the words of its most celebrated writers. Guided by professional actors who recite Joyce, Behan, Wilde and many others, the two‑and‑a‑half‑hour crawl moves from venue to venue, allowing participants to stand shoulder‑to‑shoulder with the performers and experience the poetry and prose in the very streets where they were born.

The company offers nightly public tours from early April to the end of October, as well as bespoke private tours for groups seeking a more personalised experience. Visitors can also purchase a range of merchandise—including an e‑book, a commemorative T‑shirt and tickets—directly from the service. Recognised for its cultural contribution, the crawl has earned a Living Dublin Award from Dublin City Council, ranked #4 in the Sunday Times World’s 50 Best Walks, and placed second in Lonely Planet’s Top 10 Literary Walks worldwide.

Based in Dublin, the crawl meets at the historic Duke Pub on Duke Street before setting off on a literary journey that celebrates the city’s enduring love of both the pint and the page.
