About Dublin’s Designated Outdoor
Refreshment Area (DORA)
- The Designated Outdoor Refreshment Area (DORA) allows patrons ages 21 and older to purchase an alcoholic beverage from an approved, liquor-permitted establishment, then sip, stroll, shop and explore within the designated boundaries.
- Dublin City Council has approved two pilot DORAs for Downtown Dublin: one in Historic Dublin and one in Bridge Park.
- Start date: May 20, 2021
- Thursdays through Saturdays 5 to 10 p.m.

- Drinks are not permitted on the Dublin Link pedestrian/bicycle bridge.
- No exploring outside the DORA boundaries with your beverage.
- Throw cups away before entering the next liquor establishment.
