DUBLIN, IRELAND, May 28th 2026: Get ready to get messy, South Dublin’s beloved Brickyard Gastropub is bringing back its legendary Wing Fest for its fifth consecutive year, and they are officially turning up the heat. After years of roaring success over the short bank holiday weekend, the Dundrum hotspot is throwing out the old rulebook and extending the party into a massive 10 day extravaganza running from Friday, May 29th to Sunday, June 7th, 2026.

Located conveniently beside the Balally Luas stop, Brickyard is transforming into the ultimate destination for wing lovers, pairing a specially curated menu of bold, inventive, in-house wing creations with ice-cold pours from their own independent craft beer label, TwoSides Brewing Company.

A 10-Day Feast for Wing Fanatics

While Wing Fest has traditionally been a short weekend affair, Brickyard is going bigger than ever by offering an all-day celebration for over a week. Whether it’s a mid-week craving or a high-energy weekend meetup, the kitchen will be serving up custom flavor profiles across their famous chicken wings, vegetarian-friendly cauliflower “wings,” and an ultra-premium duck option.

The 2026 festival lineup features five meticulously crafted, in-house sauces and rubs:

  • The Famous Chorizo Hot Sauce: An iconic, rich fan-favorite that keeps crowds coming back year after year.

  • The Glendalough Whiskey & Coke BBQ: A deeply smoky, sweet, and distinctly Irish twist on a backyard classic.

  • The Mango & Habanero Hot Sauce: Fiery, fresh heat beautifully balanced by tropical mango sweetness.

  • The Hoisin Sauce: A savory, sticky, and deeply flavorful Asian-inspired masterpiece.

  • The Lemon Pepper Dry Rub: Zesty, bright, and perfectly texturized for those who love a beautifully seasoned, crispy crunch.

For foodies looking to elevate their experience, Brickyard is also bringing back its decadent Duck Confit Wings, served specifically with the sticky Hoisin Sauce (5 pieces for €15.95). Standard chicken and cauliflower wings are available in small (10 pcs / €11.95), medium (15 pcs / €13.95), and large portions (25 pcs / €19.95), all served with a rich blue cheese dip.

Perfect Pours: The Ultimate Beer & Wing Pairings

No wing festival is complete without the perfect rinse. Brickyard’s beer experts have meticulously matched each wing flavor with a specific pour from their house-label TwoSides craft beer selection to balance and amplify the bold seasonings:

  • Chorizo Hot Sauce wings paired with the bright, crisp TwoSides Two Yards New Zealand Pale Ale.

  • Glendalough Whiskey & Coke BBQ wings paired with the rich, deep undertones of the TwoSides Black Betty Dark Lager.

  • Mango & Habanero Hot Sauce wings paired with the bold, high-impact TwoSides Talus in Wonderland IPA.

  • Hoisin Sauce wings paired with the smooth, classic refreshment of TwoSides Helles Lager.

  • Lemon Pepper Dry Rub wings paired with the clean, sharp finish of TwoSides Brickline Pilsner.

Quotes from the Team

“Wing Fest is always our absolute favorite opportunity to experiment and showcase our kitchen’s creativity,” says Brickyard co-owner Simon Moore. “Our customers know and love us for our wings, and seeing the energy it brought in the past made us realize four days simply wasn’t enough anymore. We’ve extended it to a full 10 days this year to make sure no one misses out on trying these combinations. The Glendalough Whiskey & Coke BBQ is an absolute standout,, but getting the balance right on our new Lemon Pepper rub and Hoisin wings has been a fantastic challenge for the team. It’s seriously delicious stuff.”
