Dining Out (Ireland)

Would you like a change from the pub and club scene? If so, read on….

Dining Out is a social group for gay men, which was formed in April 2002. The group meets for dinner in city centre restaurants, with 15 to 30 people attending each meal. Dinners are normally held on the 2nd Friday and on the last Friday of the month. The meal price varies from restaurant to restaurant, but we try to get set menus where possible and we try to keep the total bill between €25 and €50 per person.

It is hoped that the group will provide good opportunities for making new friends. Men of all ages are welcome.

Dining Out charges an annual membership fee of €20. The membership year runs from 1st April to 31st March each year. The membership fees are used to cover the running costs of Dining Out, e.g. text messages, phone calls, stationery, advertising and web site. If you are not a member of Dining Out you will be charged a €5 guest fee at each meal you attend. If you subsequently join, then your guest fee(s) for the year will be deducted from your annual membership fee. Membership cards are available from any of the six committee members. The committee members run Dining Out on a voluntary non-profit basis.

If you would like to be added to our text distribution list for advance notice of forthcoming meals, please e-mail us your full name and mobile number. If you reply to our meal announcement texts saying that you would like to attend the meal, then we include you in the numbers for the restaurant booking, so please let us know if for some reason you cannot make it to a meal that you have booked for.
