Temperatures are set to soar to 23 degrees for this 4 day weekend. So how better to enjoy the warm weather than with a cold pint. We have trailed and tested each beer garden to give you the list of the 12 best places to enjoy a cold beer while basking in the sun.
The Barge
Where: 42 Charlemont Street, Dublin 2.
Why: Not so much a beer garden, more a common destination where people bring their beer. On a sunny day, it's the first port of call. Sit along the canal with your bag of cans and take in the atmosphere.
