After Security Smoking

Terminal 1:

2024, November update from Jonny S.: All previous information from the previous few years still accurate. Access from T2 to the only smoking area, in T1 is still true. There is the occasional smoking sign as below.

After going through the T1 Duty Free shop and past most of the Bars, Restaurants and Shops, there is an escalator up a level. At the top of this, you turn left for the smoking area. Ahead, at the top of the escalator is the above sign. And the smoking area is regularly cleaned and tidied.

The smoking area is large, partly covered and popular. There is a very small bar in the smoking area selling 3 draught lagers and a draught cider plus a small selection of bottles. Draught Coors is €6.90 a pint.

Update from Gary 2023: Airside, upstairs behind the Garden Terrace bar. Go through the bar to an outside, covered terrace with seats and tables.

Terminal 2:

Tip from Terry: Dublin...T1 after security smoking area upstairs in beer garden, T2 has no smoking but after security follow the signs to gates 100 to 300 and keep walking all the way until you see Boots and other shops then you are in T1 and can go upstairs to beer garden, however it takes at least 10-15 mins each way so best add on 30mins for your smoke.

Also to note you can walk to this area from Terminal 2 on the airside departures level, its a 10 to 12 minute walk each way.
