Top 46 things to do and attractions in Dublin

A lovely spot for brunch with delicious food and friendly staff. However, we specifically chose this place for the cocktails and were a bit disappointed. We had understood that the 2-for-1 cocktail offer was available on Sundays, but it turns out it only applies if you’re seated at the counter. Since we were at a table to enjoy a meal, we couldn’t take advantage of the promotion, which was a bit frustrating. Anyway, if you are not going for the cocktails, the food was nice.

I really liked this place! Good menu, and the food was excellently prepared. We ordered bottle of wine so I will def have to come back for the cocktails. The staff was very friendly (shoutout to Stephen for a great first week!) and the vibes were cool and lively. Prices were fair, I thought.

A classic spot in Ranelagh. Great service, chilled atmosphere, beautiful music and a good menu for brunch. Quite a variety of all the right offerings given my personal taste. From oysters, to shakshouka to avocado on toast....

Excellent brunch spot, solid menu well trained staff and relaxing atmosphere. Went recently with the family and was pleasantly surprised. Traditionally known as a hip spot for the kids to brunch was worried we would be out of place but the staff were welcoming and friendly. The burger is the recommendation, while the po’ boy is tasty it lacks impact. Pancakes are dependable, but the real star of the show is the staff. Wont make it a regular thing but will definitely be back !

The food was delicious and served in a nice way. The service was excellent, with attentive and friendly. I highly recommend the place.

Excellent dinner here recently. The smaller starter dishes were probably the highlight for us. Oysters were excellent. Tuna tostadas were delicious. Great cocktails as well, and friendly service.

I came here for an early Sunday brunch with a large group of friends and a few kids. We reserved ahead and our table was ready when we arrived. The place is nice and kid friendly, however the service was bad and the food nothing to brag about. When we arrived we started with ordering coffee and we were surprised by the lack of coffee options (only black coffee is available) and the time needed to get a couple of carafes of coffee! Also the mugs provided are thick and make coffee cold. I had the crab cakes Benedict and there was so much filler that I could not feel the flavor of crab and the poached eggs had semi-hard not runny yolks.

The best authentic Thai restaurant in Dublin. Staffs are so nice and welcome us with a warmly smile, they also gave us a perfect recommendation for the food. Highly recommended!!

The restaurant is lovely. I had a very tasty vegan yellow curry. I enjoyed it very much, the staff is super friendly. I recommend it and will be back again.

We had an excellent time at nightmarket. The food is incredible, and can be made as spicy as one likes! Delicious flavors and the side room with tiles adds a cute ambience for a date night. Highly recommend!

This was easily one of the best meals I had in Dublin. Flavourful, spicy, and warm in the belly I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for a delicious meal. Its a bit expensive, but the portions are big enough for two meals. I will always pay money for good food and will absolutely be back to this place again. In a city where this is so much bland and flavourless, this truly is a standout place.

I wasn’t going to write a review… but then the staff made it so that I had to! I didn’t have a reservation and the restaurant was quite busy, so I came back an hour later. Not ideal, but I really wanted to eat here, and I’m so glad I did. They eventually found me a table, and from there the experience was exquisite. The food was incredible, I had the mussels, the red curry duck, and the cheesecake for dessert. Everything was bursting with flavor. The staff were so attentive, answered all my questions about the menu, and even recommended a perfect red wine pairing. The atmosphere was amazing, warm, lively, and inviting. Just make sure you book in advance ☺️

This is hands down our favourite restaurant! We have visited many times and it never disappoints. The authentic Thai food is absolutely incredible, the staff are fantastic and there’s always such a great atmosphere.

I have been always looking for a good thai restaurant that would serve good drinks. But it seems that I can always get either or. Nightmarket was unfortunately no exception. Let’s start with the environment. I made a reservation for the tunnel room. When I arrived I was offered a table outside by a pile of boxes. Upon requesting a different table, I was sat in proper tunnel room. That was great. I must say the restaurant ambience is nice, most table are good and it looks great, except for the table I was offered initially. Now the drinks. They have excellent drinks. I was very pleased. I just think they could have been faster. It took a long time to get drinks for a small place. The food presentation was great but I thought the flavor wasn’t there. I had a Tom Kha Gai soup and it was great. The pork skewers are fantastic. Then I had the Miang Kham and it was disappointing. It was a very dry dish. Well presented but very dry and not to my taste. Then we had the pad thai, the mango salad and the papaya salad. The mango salad was great but the fried crab that comes with it was over fried and tasteless. We could not eat it at all. The pad thai was not bad but it was missing something. It wasn’t the best but again, I was disappointed with the flavors. The papaya salad was tasteless and probably the worst I ever had. I love papaya salads and usually I ask it to be made mild so that I enjoy the flavors. Unfortunately, the flavors were not there. It was like it was missing something. Again the same pattern. Since the experience was not that great, we decided to skip desert. In conclusion, I believe they need to speed up the drinks and enhance the food flavors. Everything else was great. This place has the potential to be the best in town. Just not there yet.

Great food, great service, great atmosphere! We got the chefs menu and I’d highly recommend it. Our waiter also gave some excellent recommendations.

Amazing place. Super vibe. Absolutely delicious food. Friendly staff. Highly recommended. We had the chef’s menu and did not disappoint. It’s also loads of food for two people, no need to add anything else! The only thing I didn’t love was the salad, but everything else was a 10 out of 10.

An unforgettable experience! We enjoyed a multicourse meal filled with small, shareable plates, each one surpassing the last. The flavors were absolutely incredible, truly an outstanding dining experience. The customer service was excellent as well. Our waiter patiently answered all of our questions and made us feel completely at ease.

Fantastic experience from start to finish, warm service, great wine, and fantastic food - best steak I've had in Dublin, and the Ragu and Chorizo Croquetters were big highlights as well. Will definitely be back!

I’ve been to this restaurant twice now, and honestly, the food is to die for! Every dish tastes fresh, flavorful, and made with care. The vibe is just perfect, relaxed but lively at the same time. Everyone working there is super friendly and welcoming, especially Hytallo, who made both visits even better with his kindness and energy. Can’t recommend this place enough and can’t wait to go back again! 🌟

Excellent little joint serving trendy Italian. The burratta was divine. The tagliatelle with beef shank ragu was like my mom and aunt's made. Go!

My friend took me here for lunch and everything was tasty. Everything! I can’t breathe afterwards I ate so much but it was worth it. Great food, best ingredients, cool and attentive service. Sorry I only have a picture of our fizz 😂

This is a fantastic, cozy, Italian restaurant one mile from the Grand Canal area in a beautiful residential neighborhood. The food and the service was top notch - friendly and engaging servers that pay attention to all of the details. We ordered the stuffed arancini with a truffle sauce (out of this world good), the bolognese and the gnocchi. I highly recommend a dinner here if you are looking to get out of the city center for a night.

A co-worker recommended this place, and I’m so glad they did. It’s a small, cozy restaurant with a lovely atmosphere that made me feel like I was dining in Italy. The food was outstanding — full of authentic flavor — and the wine was absolutely delicious. The staff were friendly and helpful, offering great recommendations on what to try. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would definitely go back. Highly recommend!

One of the best restaurant experiences I have had in a long time, service was brilliant, very friendly and made our experience so enjoyable. Food was fantastic and drinks were so good. Best espresso martini I have had in a long time.

We had a fantastic evening at Gigi’s, a gem of an Italian restaurant that delivered on every level. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed and looked after with genuine care , a big shoutout to Roberto, our waiter, whose service was absolutely top-notch: friendly, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. We started with polenta fries and toast with pesto ,both simple yet delicious. The polenta fries were golden and crispy with a perfect soft center, and the pesto on the toast was vibrant and fresh, a great way to kick things off. For mains, we went with the classic carbonara with guanciale and a special truffle pasta, and both were unbelievably good. The carbonara was rich and silky, with perfectly cooked pasta and that deep flavor only good guanciale can bring. The truffle special was a showstopper ,aromatic, indulgent, and beautifully balanced. Honestly, we’re still thinking about it. Gigi’s strikes that rare balance of relaxed charm with high-end flavors. We’ll definitely be back and next time, we’re saving room for dessert!

Outstanding in all things. Got the Burrata, Aranchini and Polenta Fries. Minor feedback: the Aperol Spritz came with a rosemary garnish which didn't add anything. In Venice they added instead a single green olive and that does add nice flavour.

What a wonderful experience. We were just going to have some nice Italian food, and ended up having such a great time thanks to the amazing staff and manager.

Beautiful atmosphere and impeccably delicious food, I had the best burrata in the world there! The service is outstanding and you can truly see the passion in everyone who works there.

Great for brunch with little ones over the weekend. The food is average but the vibe is great. The cold pressed juices here are amazing though. The french toast is also good here, so the kids will surely enjoy. This is a cute little pink cafe in the heart of Ranelagh, perfect to stop by after kids classes nearby.

Fantastic breakfast/brunch spot in Ranelagh. Great atmosphere, fun vibes and really attentive staff. The French Toast is fluffy and crispy and melts in your mouth. The Chorizo Omelette with egg whites is a perfect combo of spicy chorizo and melts cheddar. The other plates that went by to other tables looked fantastic too. Looking forward to going back for more!

The Cinnamon Experience 🤣 By someone who knows a good sandwich when he sees one. Today, I ventured into the leafy battleground of Ranelagh for what can only be described as a high-stakes social experiment: meeting my friend’s new girlfriend for the first time. To balance the equation, I brought my own girlfriend, thereby forming a double-date unit with all the delicate dynamics of a diplomatic summit. Naturally, the stakes were high. First impressions. Social finesse. And, crucially, food. The restaurant was half full — the sweet spot. Enough atmosphere to prevent awkward silences, but not so rammed that you’re chewing with someone’s coat button in your ear. We snagged a lovely round table, the sort where conversation flows more easily and you're not sat like rigid statues on opposite sides of a plank. And then the staff arrived. In waves. Like an overzealous coast guard. “Are you ready to order?” “How about now?” “Still not ready?” It’s like they’d placed bets in the kitchen on who could break us first. We were mid-chat, trying to gauge the new girlfriend’s vibe, when one of them asked for the fourth time if we were ready to order. I nearly ordered just to make them go away. Now, normally I make a beeline for burgers like a heat-seeking missile. But today I was feeling adventurous, so I ordered a club sandwich the size of a shoebox. It arrived oozing sauce with the energy of a collapsing trifle. A glorious mess. Delicious, but not without its consequences. I spent half the meal drowning in club sauce, wiping my beard like I was putting out a kitchen fire. The craic was flying, and so were napkins. My Italian mate, meanwhile, was enduring a quiet tragedy. He ordered a beef burger and chips. They gave him chicken. Chicken! He looked like he’d been personally betrayed by the chef. There he was, nibbling forlornly at some chips like a Victorian orphan while I was tearing through my sandwich like a man possessed. He tried to play it cool in front of his new flame, but I saw the pain behind his eyes. The man was suffering. To console myself (and deepen his agony), I ordered two fried eggs on the side. Because if you're going to have lunch, you may as well go full gladiator. The women went for something more delicate — chicken and stuffing, coronation chicken — you know, the polite sandwiches of people trying to appear respectable. Eventually, the Italian’s correct burger landed. He tucked in, trying to act like he wasn’t ravenous. He even left a few chips on the plate, performing the age-old ritual of pretending to be full for the sake of romantic optics. But I know him. That man doesn’t leave chips. It was a performance. I, meanwhile, rode gloriously into dessert territory with a slice of carrot cake that was moist, dense, and smugly satisfying. The others watched on as I ate it like a man who knows dessert is the rightful end to any respectable meal. Now, the staff. Friendly, yes. But once the orders were taken, they vanished into the ether like a magician's assistant. Not so much inattentive as completely absent. Had we caught fire, I doubt anyone would have noticed until the smoke reached the kitchen. But despite the chaos and a few Oscar-worthy mix-ups, it was a brilliant afternoon. The food hit the spot, the company was tops, and the craic was mighty — the kind of mighty that turns a casual lunch into a story you'll be telling for years. Just maybe bring a translator for your Italian friend — or possibly a therapist — while he’s mistakenly handed a chicken burger, watches your eggs arrive like royalty, and picks at his chips like a man performing grief through garnish. He wasn’t fooling anyone. Least of all himself.

Had a fantastic time at this place! The waitstaff were incredibly kind and attentive. We couldn't resist trying all their €8 cocktails, and they did not disappoint. My personal favorite was the strawberry one, which had a delightful icy texture. But honestly, all of them were great! We decided to share some fries with my friend, and they were absolutely delicious. The garlic sauce was a hit; just wish they'd put more of it next time. Overall, this place is a winner. It has a catchy name, a great atmosphere, and the food and drinks are top-notch. Just be aware that there's only one toilet for men, and I had to wait for about 10 minutes. But that minor inconvenience is totally worth it for the overall experience. Highly recommended! 🍹🍟😊

Had a spot of brunch today, it’s nice looking inside and quite spacious. The staff seems to be rushing us from when we sat until we left so not very relaxing. The food was very quick which makes me always suspicious about the cooking, I had the cinnamon bap, it came with a side of rocket I don’t know why. The eggs royal lacked real flavour also then the scone was a bit hard to chew so not overly impressed with the food. The price was quite good for the location.

I WISH I could give Cinnamon 5 stars as their food was incredible and very well priced. Unfortunately, as I was leaving, I discovered that a large wad of gum had been left on my seat, and my pants were completely stained because of it. If something that big is missed where customers can see, I shudder to think what cleanliness is being missed behind the closed doors of the kitchen.

I have been here multiple times and also got great food. Their Warm Goat's Cheese Salad and Wild Mushroom are very tasy and a must try dishes. Hot Wings, Linguine, and Buttermilk Chicken Burger are also good. They do great Apple & Berry Crumble. They also do Raspberry Custurd Tart sometimes, and it is also good. Highly recommend this place. The only dish that was really poor was Vegan Pasta.

Really enjoyed my evening here. It was beautifully decorated (for Christmas). We got a few bits to share. The tapas was nice, although I would say small portions for the price, especially the prawns but that’s Dublin for you! The service was fantastic and the atmosphere was great. I’ll be back!

Beef cheeks on the menu was a stand out ! Great lil place for a date night. Good selection of wine. Service is fantastic.

Visited on a Wednesday evening and we selected from a midweek value menu. We picked 4 seafood tapas plus patatas and mushrooms. The food arrived promptly and was really good. Loved the scallop especially. Service was impeccable. A great winelist too. There's a lot of competition in Ranelagh among different restaurants and it's good to see the standards here have stayed high. Recommended.

I had a good experience there, we went without reservations and we could have a table there on Friday night for an hour and a half. Staff are polite, great wine selection and tapas were tasty! We got artichokes and mushrooms pintxos and grilled halloumi cheese , the portions size are good. It worth a visit!

David the head bar guy and Ben were absolutely brilliant. David gave myself and my friend Vicky a lovely wine tasting experience and we chose the best Bottle that suited us. He was from start to finish absolutely excellent at his job and friendly and professional. Was great to have the banter and also eat in one of my fave D6 Wine bars. Always a pleasure to come here, and have a five star experience!

Went to have brunch for a birthday. You know what is great? When the vegetarian options are sad and scarce. You know what is even better? When you order an eggs Benedict without the ham (you can't get it replaced with salmon btw) to find little bits of ham under the egg... Ruined the meal and the experience. I'm not sure if they thought I wouldn't notice because I had prosecco. It's also so nice when prosecco gets onto my belongings because people don't know how to pour. Décor is cool though.

Had a great night out with friends here recently. Service is fantastic, food and cocktails were great. We sat outside upstairs on the terrace. Patio heaters kept us nice and warm. Thanks to Sergio and team for looking after us. Looking forward to returning soon.

It was our first time in Dublin, and I must say the place was nice, though a bit small and surprisingly noisy. The pasta and pizza we ordered were both delicious, and the staff were generally polite. However, there was a bit of a confusion with our drink order since the waiter didn’t quite understand that we wanted still water/tap water and no other drinks. We had to explain it three times in a row, which was frustrating, since the order was simple and easy to follow.

I usually only leave reviews when an experience is exceptionally good or deeply disappointing—unfortunately, this was the latter. We had a reservation for 6 p.m., and by 6:04, the waiter informed us we’d need to leave by 8. This time limit wasn’t mentioned when I booked. Two of our friends were running slightly late, and we were rushed from the start—pressured to order quickly and constantly nudged along. About half an hour into the meal, a woman who seemed to be one of the managers approached us. While she started out friendly, her tone quickly shifted. She reprimanded me for two people not showing up, saying they had to turn away others because of it. She also criticised our table because one person ordered only a starter and a drink, and another just drinks—something that felt unnecessarily awkward and frankly quite rude. We also asked several times for more sparkling water and still water, but it never arrived. To top things off, we had to pay using two separate card machines—one for the main bill, and another for a 10% service charge, which wasn’t clearly explained and didn’t seem optional. All in all, the experience felt rushed, judgmental, and uncomfortable. Definitely not somewhere I’ll be returning.

Our dishes were works of art, and equally delicious. The pappardelle was scrumptious and tended to arrabbiata. Wonderful! The staff was extraordinarily friendly, the atmosphere relaxed, Very nice interior. Can’t wait to go back and try some more.

We celebrated our anniversary here last night. The staff were so welcoming and friendly. Great service and incredible food. Minestrone soup was the best I have ever eaten.

We had a delicious meal and great service but we were seriously disappointed by how we were treated at the end of our meal. We had 4 adults and 1 child attend for the 7.30 sitting. We advised that we would have a child with us when we made the booking. Our 5 year old was very well behaved for the meal and about 10 minutes before we left she got a bit upset and one of the adults with our party took her outside to wait for the taxi. Before they stepped outside, as we were paying the bill, the lady who I assume was the manager, asked us if everything had gone OK with our meal. We said yes and that we had really enjoyed it and she commented that the child with us must be tired, which we agreed with as we were packing up to take her outside, and then she said “we normally have children at the earlier sitting, try to remember that next time”, before immediately walking off and not giving us the chance to respond. If we had been told when we made the reservation that the restaurant required us to attend the earlier booking, that would have been fine, but they were aware that we were bringing a child and nothing was mentioned. To have such a snide comment made as we were packing up to leave and after our child had been so good for 95% of the evening (and as I say, as soon as she started crying she was brought out of the restaurant) really soured our experience. Needless to say, we won’t be back!

Heard about their seafood risotto and it did not disappoint. Delishly rich sauce, lovely fresh clams. Service professional and attentive. Owners came to check in on our table. Proper family spot 🤌

This is the best Italian food I have had in Ireland. They gave us a special accommodation for our large party and then went above and beyond with the service. I will definitely be eating there next time I am in dublin.

The tapas are amazing here so flavorful and unique. The cocktails are top-notch. Nothing was left on the plates. The tostada I got was literally one of the best things i have had the pleasure of tasting.

Recently celebrated my 30th birthday here. It’s a great venue, the staff were amazing and really looked after us all. There’s a great selection of drinks and the food is fantastic and presented lovely. Really can’t thank the staff enough for looking after us all. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be back

Top notch bar food super fresh flavourful perfectly cooked garnished I think one of best in Dublin great deal 3 for 30 before 6:30pm amazing service and staff nice chilled atmosphere can pay bill with QR code on receipt really upped their game thank u Taphouse team will come back to taste test of menu the wagy steak Siracha chicken wings and crab tostada are next level !

Cozy place for dinner. We had beef burger and steak - both fabulous. Beatrice our server did amazing job! Best reccomendations

Fabulous services Beatričė did amazing job! Steak and Burger very delicios You can get pint of Corona here ❤️

The Taphouse hosted my 30th birthday and I couldn't have asked for a better night. The food and service met every expectation and then some. The staff made planning my party seamless and stress free from start to finish. The staff were so friendly and accommodating and a pleasure to deal with. I cannot commend the staff enough for making my night unforgettable.

I recently had a disappointing experience at The Taphouse. The staff informed us that we needed to leave our table, even though we hadn’t finished our meals or drinks. When we asked if it was possible to move to another area of the pub, we were told there was no space available. However, as we were leaving, another staff member mentioned that there actually was space upstairs, which made the situation feel quite disorganized. We felt rushed to finish our food, and I ended up having to finish my drink standing up, which was uncomfortable and unexpected. It was unfortunate, as the atmosphere and menu had potential, but the service felt unprofessional and not very considerate. I hope this was just an isolated situation, but based on this experience, I wouldn’t feel comfortable recommending it.

Good coffee and nice staff. They have some indoor seating, but the space feels a bit enclosed and could use a makeover, it kind of looks like you're sitting in a storage area. With some better lighting and decor, it could feel much more inviting.

Cute coffee spot! It’s takeaway only, but there’s a wide variety of drinks and some nice sweets available. I ordered an oat cappuccino, but unfortunately, I was given a regular milk one by mistake. They replaced it right away, but I got sick afterward, and they didn’t offer any compensation or discount. Being friendly is great, but it’s also important to stay attentive — many people have allergies or intolerances, so accuracy really matters.

Great coffee spot! For me, the biggest advantage is that they open as early as 7 AM, perfect for a morning coffee run. The coffee quality is outstanding, honestly the best I’ve had so far. The staff are always friendly, kind, and attentive, which makes every visit even better. I was also pleasantly surprised by the prices, they’re very reasonable for such great quality. It’s a takeaway-only café, but definitely worth a stop if you’re in the area!

I recently attended Nick's Coffee Shop's coffee-making course and was thoroughly impressed. The knowledgeable and passionate instructors provided a comprehensive and engaging lesson on all things coffee. Hands-on practice, great facilities, and a welcoming atmosphere made the course a true delight. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced coffee enthusiast, I highly recommend this course for a deeper understanding and appreciation of the art of coffee brewing.

coffee here was great! the counter is very quick and efficient, great if you are just walking and want something on the go. the baristas were very friendly. there are alternative milk options for vegans.

This coffee shop is undeniably charming and cute, but there's a glaring issue: there's nowhere to sit! I enjoyed a delightful cookie and brownie, which were incredibly delicious. However, it's evident that they need to prioritize creating seating space instead of renting out their second room to furniture sellers.

COFFEE HERE! COME GET YOUR COFFEE! No, seriously, get coffee here. Cute little shop that is perfect to stop at when you're out walking your dog (or trying to see dogs).. or if you're just coming home late/early from a crazy night out. A large flat white was very well priced at 3 euro at the time of this post. I'll definitely be returning soon. Thanks again for such a quick and pleasant experience.

Place is good and generally positive. I take my toddler here for a walk and never faced any issue. Only mind about dogs being taken for a walk here. Me and my toddler love dogs and that is the prime reason we go there. But, just about letting toddler touch grass or soil, I wont be comfortable knowing that dogs might have peed there.

Nice park and plenty of decent cafes around to grab a nice coffee and relax in the park.

Park where you can do yoga on Saturday for 10 euros. Very greatfull.

Lovely square, parking available but can be busy Yellow zone and wardens are vigilient so get a ticket to prevent clamping, handy forbluss and town. DCC parking rates (high)

Dartmouth Square in Ranelagh is a hidden gem! This beautifully landscaped square offers a peaceful escape in the heart of the city. The well-maintained greenery, charming paths, and the lovely central fountain create a serene atmosphere. It's a perfect spot for a leisurely walk, a picnic, or simply unwinding with a good book. The sense of tranquility and community in Dartmouth Square make it a standout destination in Ranelagh. A must-visit for those seeking a quiet and picturesque urban retreat!

It is beautiful park in a good weather.I had a yoga session there on saturday in march 2018. Beautiful spot to unwind

Nice walk around even when the park is closed, couple of days ago I observed a fox across the fence, he was not shy at all.

First time dining in Urban Health for brunch and I have to say this place didn’t dissapoint me at all :) The menu had a wide range of intriguing dishes and prices are very reasonable. Those sweet potatoe waffles were top notch! I will def be back again for more meals when I make more trips into the area :)

First time in Ireland and this was the first restaurant/cafe I visited! My poké bowl was simply amazing and also nutritious. If you care about eating clean or are following a special diet (like eating low carb), then give this place a try!

I discovered this hidden gem awhile ago in ranelagh. One thing I really like about urban health is how simple and effective the food is. In my opinion, the urban eggs are the best eggs in Dublin. I’ve eaten eggs all over the city and nowhere comes close. The staff are always very friendly and helpful and they do a lovely coffee !

Wow. We’re leaving with full tummies and so happy about the food we had at Urban Health. The service was the kindest and the place is so nice in person. Dee, the owner is such an amazing lady, thank you for the experience and this delicious brunch. Vegan approved! :)

I just had a salmon bowl. The food is very tasty and healthy, with a good portion size.

Café is a true gem! The food is simply delicious, with a variety that caters to all tastes. The coffee is exceptional, expertly prepared. The service is impeccable, especially Julieta, who is an amazing and very helpful professional. She goes above and beyond to ensure every visit is a memorable experience. Highly recommended!

Aesthetically pleasing coffee shop with a wide variety of healthy options, I was amazed at the at the initiative of the menu, the staff were not friendly or helpful, having a menu as theirs I expected an enthusiastic approach to enlightening their customers especially first timers or walk ins. They really didn’t pay much attention and focused more on their regulars and friends in the shop. It’s a cute small shop and seating option available outside. Not coming back seeing the number of nice cafés around.

Never ever seen grano napoletano or even friarielli in a shop so I am impressed with the variety of products (although some products are non-italian which can be a bit confusing). Prices are a little high which is to be expected of course, but staff are veryyyy indifferent and slightly rude, the opposite of an Italian salumeria 🤣. It would be a lot better if the staff actually knew about the products, especially for those who are not familiar. Also most of the fresh produce is not of Italian origin so I wouldn't bother purchasing.

Excellent service and the very best of everything from Italy. The most amazing selection of fresh foods and sandwiches made to order. Delicious all around!

Good selection of produce from different European countries (Italian, French, Spanish...), fresh fruit, veggies and really good ice cream - 5 stars just for their gelato.

This shop is a gem very authentic Italian products fresh pasta is amazing and staff are extremely friendly and helpful

I just buy some pancetta I was pay 22 euro I arrive home I open the package and I realise is smell wierd I check better and I see that have some mold on, I am really disappointed about this, I come from Cabra till there… to buy “real Italian food” PS: I try to contact them on ig and mail them for the refund they offer me in the replay, but I still don’t have an answer if you have a shop and this is how you manage and treat clients keep the 22 euro :)) you need to be really hungry, I will never buy anything from here in my life

Ave Caesar. This taberna has friendlier and more helpful staff than the grape-eating worshipers of Sulis Minerva

Good quality foods and some really nice organic options would recommend

Trinity College is truly a beautiful and inspiring place. The historic architecture, especially the famous library, is breathtaking and full of character—it feels like stepping back in time. The campus is very well maintained, with plenty of open green spaces to relax or study.

Beautiful buildings and the park is well maintained. We had no chance to buy tickets for the Book of Kells Experience on site (it is recommended to buy in advance if anyone is interested in seeing the Library's famous Long Room!), but the buildings were still worth walking around. The gift shop is pretty much like anywhere else, but we saw at least two coffee trucks, so there's something to sip on while you walk. (I can't even imagine what it must be like to see so many tourists wandering around here with the students' eyes — while you're rushing to class, they're just shuffling in front of you to try to make the perfect photo. :D)

Lovely historical buildings. A great place to have a autumnal stroll around. Watch the sun glisten off the crisp autumn leaves. Check out their little shop and pop in and visit the Book of Kells. Great place.

Trinity College Dublin is breathtakingly beautiful, like walking through a living piece of history. The grand stone buildings and elegant courtyards create a calm, timeless atmosphere. Its famous Library, with towering wooden shelves, is a must-see for anyone visiting Dublin. Even a casual stroll across the cobbled squares feels special and serene. A place where classic architecture and lush green lawns make every visit memorable.

Trinity College Dublin is one of Ireland’s most iconic landmarks and a must-visit for anyone exploring the city. Founded in 1592, it combines centuries of academic prestige with stunning architecture and a lively student atmosphere. The campus grounds are open to the public, offering a peaceful escape from the busy streets of Dublin. Cobblestone courtyards, elegant Georgian buildings, and leafy quads make it a photographer’s dream.

It's one of the world's leading universities. The campus is so vast and beautiful. It's impossible not to dream of studying here. I think the only downside is that anyone can easily get in. Other than that, I loved the library. It has an incredibly charming atmosphere.

With its wealth of beautiful Georgian buildings, ample park spaces, and venerable old library, Trinity College is simply gorgeous. We were fortunate to see the campus bathed in sunlight on the Sunday in September that we stopped in for the Book of Kells Experience. Since the wait time before we could go into the library and see the Book of Kells was fairly long, we had the opportunity to walk into the college chapel and hear the choir rehearsing for the morning Eucharist, and then to sit on benches in the sun and enjoy the beauty all around us. Trinity is a must-see place if you're touring Dublin.

Amazing museum, tons of history and historical artifacts. The place is ginormous, but it's set up extremely well. About half of the barracks are dedicated to the museum - not quite sure what's in the rest. We spent about two hours wandering around and soaking up the exhibits. Definitely worth a detour - it's free entry, and there's something for everyone to enjoy.

One of if not the best museums I’ve ever been to. Can here as a present for my birthday and it was the best present I’ve revived. I spent hours learning not just about the revolutionary history of Ireland but history of the Emerald Isle. From rocks dating back to the arrival of Saint Patrick to captured samurai swords in the Second Word War from the Empire of Japan, the more I explored this museum the more I fell in love with it. The size of the museum also took me away with hall after hall dedicated to thousands of stories. Stories that don’t just tell the story of Ireland but of its people. I would recommend spending as much time as you can here as some of the displays will take your breath away. My personal favourites was Micheal Collins coat and the full set of Samurai armour. I would recommend any history lover to come and see the amazing displays

A large museum with free entry, split into two main sections — one focused on art history and the other on military history. Personally, I preferred the military section, although I expected to see more about internal conflicts and similar topics. Another hall which is quite nice is the one regarding the coins / banknotes history of the country. That said, I was pleasantly surprised by the impressive exhibition hall filled with tanks and weaponry.

The National Museum of Ireland is very well organized and beautifully presented. It’s quite large, so it’s worth taking plenty of time if you want to see everything carefully. Definitely a great plan for a rainy day in Dublin.

My family of 5 came on a Sunday. They’re only open 1-5 on Sunday. We spend about 2 hours walking through all the exhibits. They go through all the ages of Ireland and ends with a military history of the country. They have 2 planes, tanks and many guns on display showcasing Ireland’s history in the wars and their own conflicts. This being free, it was a wonderful time and worth spending a few hours learning about.

Been years since i visited Collins Barracks Museum n dropped in yesterday during meet up with former work collegue. Mainly visited the Soldiers n Chiefs exhibition as this is what we were interested in. Amazing exhibitions covering Irish military activities such as WWl, 1916, War of Independence, Civil War, Energency n UN missions. Well worth the visit n highly recommend a visit especially for schools etc. Staff very helpful n nice Cafe on site. Handy to Luas, Hueston Stn n lot parking but not free. Will go back again 👍

It’s free and it’s great! If you’re interested in military and social history then this is totally the place to visit. We were here from 1pm to 4pm and worth every minute. (Minor stop for tea and scones at 2.30 in the cafe!) Everything written in both Gaelic & English, easy to get around, lots of exhibits. Kids get activity booklets and lots to keep them interested.

What a fantastic find! The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere with a beautiful view. The food was outstanding – the T-bone steak was cooked to perfection and was absolutely amazing, and the kids were thrilled with their pizza. A huge thank you to our host, Vini, who was so welcoming and kind. He made our family's double birthday celebration feel incredibly special. Highly recommended!

The service, setting and atmosphere were great. The food was disappointing, especially considering the price. Its not cheap and of the 5 of us that ate brunch - None of us were particularly blown away by the food. The presentation of the food looked stunning and photographed very well..so perfect for posting on social. - Again, very friendly staff. It's a shame we probably won't be back for brunch though.

Had an amazing time at Layla’s Rooftop for my birthday. The service was amazing, our host for the night was Vini and he did a phenomenal job. He was extremely attentive and made our experience one to remember. The food was delicious and the views and vibes were great. It’s hard to keep a party of 15 happy at all times but he managed to do so with ease. Will definitely return.

I ordered the wild mushroom ravioli, which was absolutely amazing, perfectly balanced with the truffle and sage butter. There was a mix-up in the kitchen and they accidentally thought I had ordered steak, so my ravioli took a bit longer than the rest of the table’s meals. The staff were incredibly kind and took the ravioli off the bill without me even asking, thanks! 🫶🏻 For dessert, I had the limoncello pie, which was refreshingly tangy and just the right level of sweet, and paired it with a limonata cocktail that was delicious. Overall, the food was wonderful, but it was the attentive and generous service that made the evening truly memorable. Highly recommend!

Lovely restaurant with views of Dublin rooftops. Has option of outdoor seating too. Nive pizza and pasta menus. Need to supply credit card when booking and there are T&Cs to be accepted re some minimum spends

I went to this restaurant for my birthday and I liked it a lot! The meat was as I ordered it and the view is spectacular! In the end they gave me a detail for my birthday and my stay was very nice. Thank you

Avoid Layla’s for Celebrations. Terrible Service and No Flexibility We went to Layla’s yesterday for my friend’s birthday with a booking for 18 people. From the start, the experience was awful. The restaurant was almost empty, yet they refused to put our group together at one table. The “set menu” was just three starters, three pizzas, and three desserts. Several guests didn’t want pizza, but the waiter said we still had to pay €37.50 each – no flexibility, no understanding. The atmosphere became tense, with the supervisor using dismissive body language that made everyone uncomfortable. Most people ended up taking unwanted pizza home, and we were even forced to pay a €58 service charge. As someone with 10 years in hospitality, I have never seen such poor communication, lack of respect, and unwillingness to accommodate. If you’re thinking of celebrating here – don’t. Poor communication turned what should have been a happy celebration into a stressful and unpleasant experience.

I had the pleasure of visiting the gallery recently. The pieces were fabulous, but my favourite part was Gerard's tales of his life as an artist in New York, Berlin and beyond. Such an interesting afternoon. I would highly recommend popping by.

I absolutely loved my visit to this studio in Dublin. The artwork was stunning and offered such a unique, personal perspective of the city through the artist’s eyes. You can truly feel the passion and thought behind each piece. Agata, the artist’s wife, was so welcoming and generous with her time — she walked me through the stories and inspirations behind the work in such a heartfelt way. She even took the time to help me plan parts of my trip, giving me recommendations and writing out a little itinerary, which was incredibly thoughtful. Their warmth and passion made this visit unforgettable, and I would highly recommend stopping here to anyone visiting Dublin. It’s not just an art gallery — it’s an experience filled with creativity, kindness, and connection.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Gerard Byrne's studio in Ranelagh. Despite it being during the Christmas break, Gerard generously opened the studio after I contacted him to purchase a stunning book of his artwork (entitled "Turning Corners") as a gift. He not only signed the book but also took the time to write a personalised note for the recipient, which was such a kind gesture. We also had the pleasure of meeting Agata, the Creative Director, who is Gerard's wife. The studio itself is a beautiful, atmospheric space that perfectly complements Gerard’s stunning artwork. Although we only stayed a short while because of the time of year, I would highly recommend visiting Gerard Byrne’s studio.

A welcome from life's hustle await you at 16 Chelmsford rd. See Stunning light & colour filled paintings of Baggot street & environs by the maestro in a new exhibition. "Light falls an Ode to Baggotonia"

I am happy to visit Gerard in his studio. I fell in love with his art because of a piece of railing on one of his pictures. So free and with such an artist's stroke to make a never-to-be-reproduced movement of the arm. His art by charcoal equals his art with oil. Worth seeing. Worth visiting.

Overwhelmingly touched and impressed by the experience the studio on a rainy day. I was lucky enough to have a conversation with Gerard himself and his beautiful wife Agatha they both so kind and patient to share the experience and the story behind the art work. His paint so filled with lively and warm color. And his book’Turn Corner’ is a collection of 150 stunning works during the covid 19 pandemic spring 2020- Summer 2021. Look forward to the exhibition soon!

Visiting the gallery was the highlight of my last trip to Dublin! When we arrived Gerard was in the process of finishing off a painting and it was fascinating to talk to him about how he works. Hearing some of the stories behind the paintings was great and adds a whole new dimension. Gerard and Agata had us thoroughly entertained with different stories from over the years. The gallery space itself is beautiful and does justice to the absolutely stunning paintings. I loved getting to see so many familiar spots in Dublin through new eyes!

They are always amazing. The staff is super friendly, the music is on top but the star is the food, quick and delicious. They also offer variations of their dishes in case you are vegetarian!

Pistachio Coffee & Scrambled Eggs were delightful.

The breakfast is available till 11:45. There are both vegetarian and vegan options (incl. plant-based milk). The avocado toast is simply the best! There are both an outside and inside sitting areas, as well as toilets (upstairs, though). The staff was friendly. They took their time with the drinks and food prep but the waiting was worth it. I would recommend for everyone in the kitchen to wear masks if you will let us, your guests, observe the whole process. Only one of the three ladies had her mask on. One of ladies was having her mask while walking among us but as soon as she was in the kitchen, she completely took it off which really made no sense to me (we are still in the middle of a COVID-19 pandemic).

Didn't like my Irish breakfast panino, covered in tomato relish (both sides of panino), white sausages (yuk!). In fairness probably was stupid enough to pick the wrong thing in an Italian restaurant.

Lovely, little, cosy place... Welcoming stuff... Great coffee! I have tried coffee in many other places and found their coffee is best!

Lovey Italian style sandwiches, fresh ingredients and cosy atmosphere. During the weekends, brunch dishes available as well. Highly recommend for breakfast and brunch.

Had a plain toasted ciabatta with tomato soup - soup wasn’t homemade and the halloumi salad was mid. Wouldn’t be racing back.

The whole experience was pretty well done. The best part of course seeing the Book of Kells. The library was incredible. Unfortunately most of the books were removed for renovation, but enough were still there to get the feel of it. The red building at the end was a full immersive experience - that made me dizzy and nauseous. I wish I could’ve purchased a ticket without the red building (just the book of Kells and the library), but the option wasn’t available. Recommend buying tickets online in advance to get your preferred timed entry.

A truly fascinating and culturally rich experience that offers a deep insight into one of Ireland’s greatest treasures. The Book of Kells Experience combines history, art, and spirituality in a beautifully curated exhibition that captures the skill and devotion of the monks who created this masterpiece over a thousand years ago. The exhibition itself is well laid out, with clear storytelling and impressive visuals that explain the creation of the manuscript and its incredible detail. The lighting, atmosphere, and overall presentation make it easy to appreciate both the artistry and the reverence behind the book. The short film at the start gives great context and helps visitors understand just how remarkable the work is. The real showstopper, however, is the Long Room Library — one of the most breathtaking spaces in Dublin, if not the world. Walking through it feels like stepping back in time. The scale, the scent of old wood and books, and the sheer sense of history are unforgettable. The only slight downside is that it can get quite busy, which makes it harder to take in the exhibits at your own pace. The display area for the Book of Kells itself is smaller than expected, and you don’t get much time to linger. A few more interactive or modern interpretive elements would really enhance the experience, especially for younger visitors or families. Still, this is an essential stop for anyone visiting Dublin — an inspiring reminder of Ireland’s deep scholarly and artistic heritage, and a beautifully preserved piece of world history. Well worth seeing once in a lifetime. 🇮🇪📖✨

Amazing. Do this. Go here. First of all, the place looks little phenomenal. Its really really interesting and super well built with tons of history and cool facts in every tiny crevice of the campus. And even better is that the tour guides know these details and they di give you a really good overview of everything. Additionally, the old library is a magnificent sight. With the atlas sculpture and the harp! Really really cool!

Well, I was expecting the place to be much bigger. I’m not sure why, but half of the library (bookshelves) was empty. The Book of Kells (I mean the book-artefact) is worth seeing – later there’s a 3D film projected on the wall with an explanation of its history. But the film is really slow… Later it is another film. Overall, the place is definitely worth a visit, but the price is really high – €20. In my personal opinion it should be cheaper. But defenetly whole Trinnity Collage area looks amazing.

Words are nit enough to describe how awesome it was and no photo dies the library’s scale justice. The tour in the 2nd building was very cool and interactive too. I liked the live statues and the films: both are very well put together and visually appealing. If you have enough time, try to go with a guide. And make sure to come early - it closes at 16.30.

Attending Trinity College was just an unforgettable experience for us. We've seen a lot of different libraries and tours, but it's just the atmosphere of science and Greece. We were very impressed. The tour is very interesting and exciting. Indeed, thank you for the opportunity to visit you. We recommend a must-visit in Dublin.

This experience was topping my Dublin bucket list and I was certainly not disappointed. Recommended for all history lovers. There are different price ranges in regards to the tickets, so you bettee have a look before you buy the first one you see. Friendly staff. Btw, it is not allowed to take photos of the Book itself, don't even try!

We visited Christ Church Friday, September 12. It was a wet and cool day so we did not walk around the gardens. The church is incredible on the outside and in. You pay an admission fee to enter and take the self-guided tour. They provide a pamphlet to read as you move from room to room with great information about the history and use of the space. The main level is stunning. Beneath, you venture into the medieval crypt. This was amazing. Christ Church is completely worth the time and small fee.

We visited on a cloudy Sunday afternoon and wasn't too busy. It was €12 to get in but 50 cents cheaper if you booked online. There is an audio tour you can download to your phone for free. The building is beautiful and the grounds are pretty. The audio tour is very helpful to get the most out of your visit.

Christ Church Cathedral is one of Dublin’s most striking landmarks - the architecture is incredible even just from the outside. Dating back to around 1030, it’s the city’s oldest medieval cathedral and still commands attention with its Gothic stonework, towers, and arched bridge linking the buildings. Even if you don’t go inside, it’s worth the stop - the grounds are well kept, and the setting gives you a real sense of old Dublin’s history right in the middle of the modern city.

Stunning piece of Dublin’s history and architecture. The cathedral is beautifully preserved, with incredible stonework and a peaceful atmosphere inside. The crypt beneath is fascinating, filled with artifacts and stories from centuries past. The staff are welcoming and very knowledgeable. Definitely worth a visit whether you’re into history, architecture, or just want a quiet moment in the heart of the city.

A historic, magnificent church that is still in operation today. One of my biggest regrets from this trip was that I didn't give myself more time to spend here! The audio tour provides a variety of lenses that you can adjust to your interests or explore every possible branch. Each nook and cranny of the building has a story (at least!).

One of my favorite attractions in Dublin. This medieval cathedral is absolutely breathtaking and we neatly had the whole place to ourselves. The stained glass and stone work is absolutely gorgeous. You're also free to explore the crypt which houses countless precious-metal artifacts, the Christchurch copy of the Magna Carta, and the famous cat and rat, or "Tom and Jerry" as I heard some locals jokingly call them. According to radiocarbon dating, a mouse jumped into the church's pipe organ almost 200 years ago to escape a cat, who dived in after the mouse and got stuck. The lack of oxygen in the pipe organ led to the mummificaton of both animals over many decades.

We visited this beautiful cathedral in the morning on a Saturday. We used our gocity pass to visit. It is truly beautiful! We really enjoyed touring and learning the history of this beautiful place of worship. It is still an active place of worship. There is an audio guide and also a written guide that will educate you about the different aspects of the cathedral. There are beautiful stained glass windows! You should definitely take the time to tour.

Chester Beatty is a gem in Dublin. The Islamic collection is beautiful, with stunning Qur’anic manuscripts, calligraphy, and rare texts displayed with care and respect. The explanations are clear and interesting, making the art and history easy to understand. The museum also shows how Islamic culture connects with other world traditions, which makes the experience even richer. The space is calm and welcoming, perfect for wandering slowly and enjoying the details. Entry is free (donations welcome), and there’s a lovely rooftop garden and a nice café. Highly recommended for anyone curious about Islamic art and culture.

Just like any other museum you must have probably seen over many countries or just India alone. Tucked just behind Dublin Castle, the Chester Beatty Library is a quiet cultural gem that offers a glimpse into the artistic and literary treasures of the past—without costing a cent to enter (although they technically do entice you with a cafe just at the entrance to get your stomachs churning at the fancy menu). While the layout follows the traditional museum format, the collection itself is anything but ordinary. From ancient manuscripts and rare religious texts to exquisite Asian scrolls, Islamic calligraphy, and beautifully illuminated Christian gospels, there’s something here to captivate any curious mind. The exhibitions are thoughtfully curated, offering insight into the world’s great cultures and belief systems through the lens of art and storytelling. The staff, particularly at the entrance, are genuinely warm and welcoming, eager to offer guidance without being intrusive. A generous supply of brochures and tour options are available just as you walk in—many of them quite pricey, but understandably so for a once-in-a-lifetime visit. Whether you're a seasoned museum-goer or just looking to escape the bustle of the city for a while, Chester Beatty is ok for a one time visit.

A beautiful collection of book-focused artifacts from all over the world. I spent several hours here and enjoyed every moment of it. If you are interested in the development of the book over time in different cultures, this will be perfect for you. The facilities are well-kept and it was easy to get around. The museum is free to enter and next door to Dublin Castle.

All of the items in the museum are so beautiful, and I felt they were arranged nicely to allow them to properly tell their story. Very incredible artifacts here. It’s free, so it’s definitely worth a visit. The Dubh Linn park next door is so beautiful, and it’s right behind the Dublin Castle

What a fascinating museum unlike anything you will ever see. Beatty was an American industrialist who collected over 600,000 artifacts. He was interested in books and script from around the world and has some of the oldest cuneiform writing in existence. There are also artifacts and history of most religions of the world. Don't miss this museum. It is just behind the castle.

Nice, quiet library, well organised and worth visiting. The shop on the ground floor is impossible to visit if you are autistic because of the overwhelming smell joss sticks which are used. Cafe is very noisy too. That's the reason I'm my rating is poor because for autistic people it's not bearable. Nevertheless the exponats are worth visiting.

Very interesting museum, we got it kinda by accident after visiting the castle of dublin. I really liked the room about religions, they made a mega job in explaining Islam Buddhism & Christianism in a very easy and unbiased way.

Beautiful gardens with several walks within and multiple large glasshouses also. A large selection of all kinds of plants, flowers and trees, many not native to Ireland. Good selection of wild birds and squirrels visible too. Gorgeous rose garden too. Free admission and car parking available also. Located adjacent too Glasnevin Cemetery with a gate between them, so both can be visited in one day.

Beautiful gardens to visit with plenty of colour still in mid October thanks to the variety of planting schemes. Peaceful and a lovely tranquil atmosphere for those looking to be ecscape to some green space for an hour or two. Glass houses are very like those in Kew Gardens - cosy and full of plants to enjoy !

These gardens are just beautiful. Very well maintained, (huge!) and we had a great time here. The fact that this beautiful place is free is astounding. There are also lots of squirrels in the surrounding area and they come right up and take food out of your hand.

What a wonderful place, which is free to explore. It's mostly very peaceful and relaxed with lots of paths and trails. There's countless species of plants and trees. A number of greenhouses for plants that require warmer tropical climates. There's also a couple of lovely ponds with ducks and some herring. For me the curious squirrels are the best part, they are fairly tame and will approach you if they think you have food for them. Vegetables and herbs are also grown in their own walled garden. There a great cafe with the usual tea and coffee with pastries. They also do sandwiches and best of all some tasty dinners. It's wheelchair and buggy friendly and a paid carpark is in the grounds.

The national botanical garden is a hidden gem in Dublin. There is no charge for entry and there are a number of greenhouses with plants from all over the world. If you’re looking for an easy day, I would hardly recommend it. There is a café just outside of the botanical gardens that’s worth stopping by I can’t remember the name at the moment but as you exitthe gardens cross the street and turn to your left and you will find it about 50 m down.

Great place to visit, easily spend a few hours wondering around enjoying how creative nature is, so many interesting plants from around the world. Parking on site but queuing can be required to get in as spaces limited.Also can visit famous cemetery on site where lots of legendary Irish people are buried

Very beautiful and well maintained. So many varieties of flowers and plants. The glass houses in itself is a thing of beauty. The walk through Glasnevin cemetery leading up to the botanical garden is equally beautiful. The best thing is both are free to visit. Will definitely visit again.

Good stadium, came here many years ago for a Six Nations game but this trip was for the B&I Lions v Argentina. Stadium is an impressive place, good views even from high up. Decent pubs and places to eat nearby.

We attended an Irish rugby match at the Aviva Stadium. Quick and easy entry. Great view from our seats. Food options are extremely limited. Our friend lost her bag here & some staff were not helpful but ultimately were able to help locate & return her items. Fine for an athletic stadium.

Great experience and really good seats. Some stewards were a bit hostile on the way in which I understand they have to be sometimes but found it slightly unwelcoming. Apart from that a great day out despite the loss

Aviva Stadium was a great venue to watch a match. The crowd was lively and pitch looked great. Make sure you enter the correct entrance. Being used to stadiums in the US the food and beverage options are very limited. Wide concourses make them easy to navigate. Seats were comfortable.

First time watching live football and don’t know what to expect but surely it’s a great experience. Easy to get to and staff is helpful to guide us. The food and drinks are decent, toilet is clean. Great crowd for friendly match - Leeds United vs AC Milan 🤘

Went to see Lana Del Rae and was impressed. As a venue it was my first time. From start to finish it was excellent. Straight in through the correct gate up to our seat. Bar behind us and food also. No queues for toilets , food or drink. And as for leaving it was regimental. Staff were polite and obliging. Definitely be back again whether it be music or rugby. 5 🌟

Good stadium. Great entry and exit points. Comfortable seats with good toilet facilities. Plenty of food and drink vendors

Brilliant, very Big! Wish they had this in the North of Ireland. Went to watch the NFL match. Pitsburgh Steelers vs Minnesota Vikings. first time a proper NFL league match had ever been played in Croke Park Dublin. Journey has a lot of traffic but wasn't the worst.

Croke Park is one of Dublin’s most iconic landmarks — a place where history, culture, and energy come alive. Known for hosting unforgettable sporting events, massive concerts, and top-class conferences, it captures the true spirit of Ireland. With its impressive design, vibrant atmosphere, and world-class facilities, Croke Park is more than a stadium — it’s a symbol of Dublin’s heart and pride.

We did the Skyline - Halloween special, Tales from the Pale - fantastic both stories and views. Book your ticket in advance and wrap up because its windy. Something we always said we'd do well worth it, views spectacular.

Amazing atmosphere. The seats are very close together and the concessions are overpriced, but we had so much fun we didn't care. There is no parking at or near the stadium. 75,000 people walked in and walked out

Wonderful experience getting into and out of Croke Park. They have large crowds down. Both the bathrooms and food concessions could be improved. Many concessions were out of items before the game started. There were long lines to some dingy bathrooms! We had a great time!!

Croke Park is a must-visit if you’re in Dublin. We did the stadium tour, which was really interesting and gave a great sense of Ireland’s sports history. We even came back another time for the St. Patrick’s Day events, and it was a lot of fun—such a lively atmosphere!

Odd set up could only purchase beer/cider or water on the ground/pitch level which isnt a great option when you didn't drink beer / cider. Could buy various options food and drink wise up a level but couldn't bring it down. Was in the accessible section which was perfectly situated, sounds was on point (Robbie Williams gig) however still had to go out to main bar / food area which was very awkward the more the ground level filled up! A mini bar option in that section to avoid having to keep coming out and back again / trying to get through the crowds with a wheelchair would be even better. But staff were all approachable and helpful. Lack of stars is due to lack of options drinks wise jist because you are on the pitch

Absolutely stunning! Such a wonderful gem to discover on our trip to Dublin in March. Right across from the Garden of Remembrance at the North end of Parnell square. The building itself is a work of art, and the pieces within just as breathtaking. The frames were artworks in their own right, and the paintings were a joy to see. All the staff were so helpful, and great to have a bit of a giggle with 😁 Finished off with a visit to the gift shop and relaxed with an amazing mocha at the cafe then headed off for the rest of the day from the bus stop right outside.

Located in the center of the city, this free museum hosts the Francis Bacon papers, items from his studio in London. Worth visiting the small permanent exhibition together with the temporary collection. The coffeeshop is fine but noisy. Outdoor seating is available.

Quite nice museum, visitable in less than a day, the highlight is obviusly Francis Bacon Studio which is AMAZING. Being "addicted" to his paintings this museum was a must, seing also unfinish paintings give us the posdibility to see hist painting process in detail.

We didn’t expect much and were struck right at the entrance by fantastic stained glass window by Harry Clarke, this along is absolutely worth visiting. And if you into art you’ll find much more to enjoy and admire. Free entrance for everyone.

The best part? It’s free. Which in Dublin, makes it more beautiful than some of the art. 🌧️ Perfect for: • Rainy days • Escaping loud tourists • Quietly judging other people pretending to understand modern art • Or being one of those people yourself (we’ve all been there) Final thoughts: The Hugh Lane Gallery is a lovely, low-key cultural gem — full of great art, peaceful halls, and enough artistic credibility to make your Instagram look like you’re very intellectual. Bonus: you’ll leave feeling slightly more refined, even if all you really did was stare at a sculpture and think, “Hmm… vibes.

Its being revamped, so a lot of the pieces are put away.Harry Clarke still worth it, Francis Bacon exhibit is excellent

A calm, bright gallery with a thoughtful collection and the famous Francis Bacon studio. The space feels peaceful, making it perfect for a slow wander. Easy to enjoy even if you’re short on time and just want a quiet cultural break.

I am not a big fan of modern art, but I absolutely loved this place. Yes, I rolled my eyes at the piles of dirt and bricks. I was confused as to whether the technical issue piece was art or an actual broken piece. However, in amongst that were some striking pieces. The building is surrounded by gardens and green spaces, which are also worth a look. The building itself is architecturally interesting and worth a walk around. Staff were welcoming and helpful. There is free wifi, a nice souvenir shop and a cafe. Best of all, entry was totally free. There are toilets, and these were clean. The building is fully wheelchair accessible. There are disabled toilets.

Easy access and parking at the museum. Wonderful family day out, so much to see - free exhibitions, lovely space. Cute little gift shop and yum coffee where you can have cake or brunch. We didn't have weather for the surrounding gardens and we definitely will be back. Five Stars - worth a visit. Thank you IMMA.

What a beautiful place! I went to assist the Earth Rising festival at the Museum and I discovered these gorgeous gardens, they are really well maintained, clean, a real pleasure to the senses. I recommend go when it's quiet and you will feel you're not in the middle of a city, but in a castle far away.. gorgeous, I will go again soon.

Great museum which I will miss very much. I was very lucky and privileged to live beside the museum for the past 19 years and tried to visit it as often as I could. Some excellent exhibitions through the years, the Dorothy Cross retrospective in particular comes to mind. The comparative exhibition of Jack B Yeats and Lucien Freud is another fond memory. The current exhibition of Sam Gilliam’s work is highly recommended. There are other artists whose names fail me now but I will give a mention later. I also loved walking around the grounds of the museum. It’s a pity that the view has been somewhat diminished by all the development that’s going up but it’s still to be enjoyed. The courtyard has its own special atmosphere, haunting but peaceful.

A gem of place for modern art lovers, set in a pristine 17th cent Royal Hospital building which has its own history and tales to tell in the Hospital history section . . The guided tour is detail and aligned to the guides interests and views which is quite unique. The viewpoints and perspectives to each art form is to its dot for few, while shallow for some, and immense for others. The stunning outdoor walled gardens ,the bell which is used in the mezzanine, the underground alleys of the hospital building, curated art works from renowned Irish & intl artists, the additonal artform/cloth works in the external building , Huge projection screen for events, sculpture and what not .Perfect place for modern art lovers

A museum with very interesting art. When we arrived they were teaching traditional Irish dance classes in pairs, very nice. There is a cafeteria and a restaurant that has very tasty food and delicious drinks. Inside the galleries you can find very curious and interesting modern works of art. Highly recommended to go with your family, friends or alone. I'm sure you'll find new friends there.

Nice but small museum, a bit part of it was closed i think. Very nice building, potential to make it even nicer considering the space they have for it. But it’s free so all good in the end ! Happy we checked it out.

Came here with my class of 9th graders today. We had an absolute blast. It was very interesting to learn about three Gaelic sports and then have the kids try them out. 100% recommend!

This tour was so fun and a great way to understand the history of these traditional Irish sports. The experience has super friendly and patient trainers. The trainers teach you the rules and skills step by step, which then allows you to play a short game. The tour can be as intense or as relaxed as you want. It was a very memorable experience and I would highly recommend doing this tour for an Irish experience. The experience is about 3 hours long and you learn three sports: the first is handball (not the same as Olympic handball - more like squash or racquetball). Then, they teach you the rules of hurling, which is like field hockey mixed with lacrosse mixed with baseball mixed with cricket. The last sport they teach you is gaelic football. That is like basketball mixed with soccer mixed with volleyball and also like American football or rugby. They take breaks between each sport to explain the rules and give you glasses of water. The facilities are very nice as well. It is super interesting to learn the history of these sports, how they came to be, and how the Gaelic Athletic Association is an amateur sporting association -- in fact, it is the largest amateur sports association in the world. Each neighborhood in Ireland has its own club, and the residents play only for their area clubs. The association does not have any professional players - just amateur players. They explained how previously the British would ban or restrict their ability to play these traditional sports. Recently there has been a resurgence in these traditional sports, which is great to see right now. The trainers also answer all of the questions you may have about any of the sports, how to play the sports, or even about life in Ireland. In conclusion, this experience playing Irish sports is the best and most fun way to experience your time in Ireland, especially if you are traveling with children who like to do active things while on vacation in a foreign country. As a parent, this experience is a great alternative to indoor activities such as video games, youtube, chess, or other games you may play indoors. I can not recommend this experience enough. My children are still talking about the three sports even though it is over. They will remember this experience forever and playing Gaelic sports will be a highlight of the vacation for them.

Fantastic day with my 15 and 10 (special needs) yr old boys and my wife. Had a great time learning about the games then playing them. Staff and everyone were very awesome and accommodating.

We had an excellent time learning about the traditional Irish games of Gaelic football, Hurling, and Gaelic handball. The staff was friendly, welcoming and passionate. A great place for a group activity!

Cormac and his team are amazing. Not only do they do an excellent job teaching the basics of Gaelic games in a way that allow people to understand and then participate in each sport, they help participants understand the cultural significance of Gaelic games to the people of Ireland. Amazing experience!

Gaelic games were SO fun!! We had such a big group and they accommodated us so well. I had the best experience learning about these traditional Irish games!! Highly recommend!!

We had a BLAST and learned so much too! Stephen was a great instructor and added in a lot of interesting facts about the history and culture of the games. Would recommend this to any group of any age!! 10/10 and a highlight of our Ireland road trip!

This place gets a well deserved 5 star. Was there with my family for a quick dinner after work. So the place was not too crowded yet. We had nachos as a starter. Honestly the best one I have tried in a really long time. Very tasty. We finished it off between us 3. I ordered the steak tacos. Really impressed with the fact that they actually cut the steak in the tacos. It was perfectly cooked. Not chewy at all. The fish and chips was also amazing, all the sauce were fresh. And the burger was very tasty and quite big. We work in the food business and trying to find a place that doesn’t cut corners is difficult these days. The cocktails too were amazing. Phew! We went home stuffed 😀. The service was also nice. Prices could be a bit high, but you are in the middle of Rathmines. The weekend gets really busy so book your table ahead. One of the rare place we will come back too

We have been here for brunch and it was always fantastic. Today was our first time for dinner and it was as good as always. The decor inside is so cute, the staff are friendly and welcoming as well as efficient. We ordered the quesadilla and the chicken Caesar, both great and didn't take long to come out. The lemonade is also so good. Love this place.

Stopped by The Farmer’s Café in Rathmines Dublin 4 for brunch, and it’s exactly the kind of spot you want on a slow weekend morning. Cozy with both indoor and outdoor seating, so you can choose your vibe. 🌤️☕ I went with the eggs Benedict, Nutella pankcakes and a mocha, and both hit the spot: classic, tasty, and no frills needed. The staff were friendly and welcoming, which just added to the easy-going atmosphere. Overall, it’s a solid neighborhood café. Nothing to complain about—just good food, good coffee, and a chill place to start the day. Ratings: 🍴 Food: 4/5 🛎 Service & Ambience: 4/5 💸 Money’s Worth: 4/5 Overall: 4/5 – A reliable, friendly brunch café worth a visit.

Delicious food! We had the scallops - extremely well cooked and flavorful. Had the sausage and mash as well as the pork belly and both were amazing. We were to fill for home made desserts. Owner and server were both attentive and wonderful to chat with.

Located on Rathmines Road, this is a good spot for your weekend brunch or even a nice dinner. The food has influences from the US and Mexico and is really tasty. The fries especially are a little highlight!

Nice place and delicious food. The staff is polite as i was half hour early to my booking still they made arrangements till our table was ready. Liked the portion size and good location. Easily accessible by bus.

Small but nice bistro with delicious food (fresh ingredients as we noticed). Must visit

Iveagh Gardens is a true hidden gem in the heart of Dublin. Tucked away just behind Harcourt Street and a short stroll from St. Stephen’s Green, it’s easy to miss—but once you find it, you’ll be glad you did. The park is beautifully designed, combining formal landscaping with a natural, relaxed feel. Highlights include elegant fountains, a small waterfall, a charming grotto, and wide open green spaces perfect for picnics or reading a book. What really sets it apart is the peaceful atmosphere. Unlike other city parks, it’s rarely crowded, even on sunny days. It feels like a secret escape right in the middle of the city, offering quiet pathways, shady spots under mature trees, and beautifully maintained flower beds. It’s a great place to unwind, have a thoughtful walk, or just enjoy a bit of nature without leaving the city center. Occasionally, it hosts events like Taste of Dublin or small concerts, but outside of those times, it remains calm and serene. Whether you're a local or a tourist, it’s well worth taking the time to find the entrance and explore this tranquil oasis.

A nice garden that gives you a bit of peace from the city. It is quite large and contains a waterfall, two fountains, a yew maze, a rose garden, archery grounds, and some statues. There are toilets in the gardens. The gardens are mainly wheelchair accessible. There is access through the Clonmel Street and Hatch Street entrances, but not through the Concert Hall Gate entrance. There are hard surface paths around the gardens.

It’s pretty, but the fountains/waterfalls weren’t running. Since we were already near St. Stephen’s Green, we checked it out. But I wouldn’t go out of your way to get here because it seems from the other reviews that it’s hit or miss when they turn on the fountains.

Worth the trip here. Everyone goes to St. Stephen’s Green but these gardens are close by and less crowded. Highly recommend taking the time to visit.

The place is ok. Peaceful, tranquil but a little underwhelming. You should still check it out if you have never been there. Might be a good escape from the hustle of city life.

Amazingly kept greenspace with awesome water features. This park really makes you feel like you've escaped from the city!

The best part of the garden is this fountain. Otherwise, it’s frankly boring and it looks like a big green yard - would only visit it, if it’s on your way to somewhere else. This way you can hide from the noisy streets here.

I have very fond memories of this place, which prompted me to write a little review. I lived in Beggar’s Bush over 25 years ago and used frequent Slattery’s on a regular basis. I loved sitting in the bar, either on my day off or on an early Saturday afternoon; looking out the window up the road, watching the world go by or chatting to the ‘auld fellas. It was usually raining (very Frank McCourt-esque!) and I’d sit there, ruminating about life in general. It was always good fun on match days with a raucous but fun atmosphere, particularly if the rugby was on. I remember one time, some kilted Scottish fans decided to start blasting on the bagpipes. Those things are loud. But that’s rugby for you, the fans always get on and that day, the craic was ninety! Now - and I totally understand why, the outdoor area blocks that view - it is an asset though , for the smokers. Sat at the bar, the fonts are way too bright and dominate what you can or cannot see. The smell of drains is a bit omni-present. But, I still have a lot of grá for the place; the pint is decent, and I will come back - if nothing, for the memories.

Excellent pub for hanging out and having a pint. Very friendly, you'll feel immediately like a local.

Great pub near the stadium. No food but drinks are plentiful.

Have organised a few event in Slattery's and has been fabulous every time. Easy helpful when booking for large groups especially. Extremely professional if anything does ever go wrong. Would always reccomend, for a party or just a regular dirnk!

The staff remotely shut the outdoor window panel, knocking over our table and spilling our beers onto our phones and clothes. Instead of an apology, we were mocked with comments like ‘your beers were almost finished anyway,’ and when we asked for replacements we were told ‘you lost your chance’ before being forced to leave. This behaviour was aggressive, disrespectful and completely unacceptable towards loyal customers.

Lovely place for a drink, staff were very attentive coming round and serving drinks throughout our visit.

Excellent pub in a great location. Food from nearby can be ordered and eaten there with prompt delivery.

I star because it's obligatory but know that it's the greatest experience of my life! I am used to traveling and I adapt to all types of culture but unfortunately here it was a disaster. The manager of the place is just inhumane and without any kindness. Run away friends. No kindness and even less humanity. Courage for those who venture there...

Leinster House: Where Irish History and US Architecture Meet! 🏛️🇮🇪 *Leinster House isn't just a building; it's the beating heart of Irish democracy and a must-see for history buffs! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Located in Dublin, this grand 18th-century palace is the current home of the **Oireachtas**, the Irish parliament, comprising Dáil Éireann (the lower house) and Seanad Éireann (the Senate). Walking past, you can feel the pulse of Irish political life. But here's the quirky bit: it was originally built for the Earl of Kildare (who later became the Duke of Leinster). More surprisingly, it served as a key design inspiration for the **White House in Washington D.C.**! 🤯🇺🇸 The Irish architect, James Hoban, who studied at a Dublin society drawing school that operated here, used the building's floor plan and structure as a model for the U.S. President’s residence. Talk about transatlantic influence! The building has truly had three lives: first as a Duke's residence, then as the headquarters of the Royal Dublin Society (RDS), and finally, since 1922, as the parliament building. While interior tours are limited and usually require prior booking (check the official website!), admiring its stately architecture from Kildare Street, nestled between the National Museum and the National Library, is highly recommended. It’s a stunning reminder of the city's Georgian heritage. A beautiful and historically significant landmark. Don't miss it! ✨ 🕯☘️🫂🇸🇪✝️🕊🇻🇦

It was my first experience at this parliament building when I visited as part of my community women's group. It was an invigorating, warm, educational, philosophical, and awakening experience for a person of colour. It was profound to contextualize reality and to confirm history. Perfect for someone who likes or is triggered by history or simply to see where most political decisions are made. It was also grand to meet the former PM and other parliamentarians.

Came here under recommendation a coworker during my study abroad and internship program back in 2014. So much history and culture that I learned here and it was great learning the history of Ireland and its government. Bashful place for sure!

Good for a protest. Wouldn't rate it for much else. Unless you're on the inside that is. Work your way up far enough and sure you could leave with 5 pensions, a driver and an international speaking tour circuit worth a fortune.

Built in 1745 by the 20th Earl of Kildare, James Fitzgerald, Kildare House, later renamed to Leinster House when the Earl became the 1st Duke of Leinster in 1766. The Irish Parliament, Houses of the Oireachtas, have occupied it since 1922 to date. I

Ran the country as taoiseach a while ago, pretty good experience I had while I was in office, would recommend!

I visited Voici Crêperie and tried the French toast as well as a crêpe with almonds and vanilla ice cream. Both were delicious, and what makes this place stand out is that they serve coffee and desserts until late, plus they also have a wine bar. I think that’s a brilliant business strategy, especially considering that Dublin doesn’t have many cafés open late at night. Another detail that makes a big difference is the flour they bring in directly from France, which gives the crêpes a truly distinctive flavor. On top of that, the place has a lovely vibe and cozy décor, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the experience. Overall, it’s a spot that combines quality ingredients with a smart concept, making it well worth a visit.

I went this place last week. I requested to go upstairs. Waitress were really nice. Nice service. I am not sure but i think i ordered Vanilla Chocolate crepes ... not that sweet highly recommended ✨❤️🤍

Popped in for a little coffee break and tried the chai latte and an almond croissant. The croissant was a bit dry, not the best I’ve had, I’d give it a 6.5/10. The chai was probably a 7/10 for me. My friend ordered the croque madame and rated it a solid 7.8/10 That said, I did love the vibes! it’s a cosy spot where you can read peacefully or have a good chat. Super chill atmosphere!

My girlfriend and I usually visit this place, the food is so god and the staff very friendly, it’s an amazing spot for a coffee in rathmines, this time we went just for a crepe and a coffee, when we left my girlfriend forgot her bag in the outside area we realised when we were at home so I called, shout-out to the guy staff member in the other side of the phone was so nice and helpful he instantly went outside to look for the bag and saved it for us, of course we will be back as usual highly recommended

A really nice cosy spot for a bite to eat! Finally came in here for lunch after walking past it so many times and it was utterly delicious. We got a caprese crepe (added chicken) and also shared a Belgian chocolate and coconut shavings crepe which was 10/10. The coffee in here was some of the best I've had in Rathmines also! The staff were super friendly and welcoming, will definitely be returning here to try other menu items!!

Unfortunately cant give less then one star.I gave this place a second chance and started going often because the coffee is good and the staff are mostly friendly. But yesterday I went for breakfast and ordered something called "le petiti poulet"€13.75. To start with, the menu describes it as "Irish chicken breast" which makes you imagine a piece of real chicken breast. But in practice they serve that crepe with brie cheese/sun dried tomato/roket and some pale, pasty white strips (absolutely disgusting) that they dare to call it "Irish chicken fillet". But in reality it is chicken of the same quality as Musgrave. Which rather than being chicken (it is chicken waste made into a batter and molded into the shape of a breast mixed with preservatives and additives). Even so, I tried to eat it but it was impossible (I was convinced I would order that dish with real chicken even if it was a small portion, but real chicken). I left it and told the staff... nobody cared. charged €13.75 + coffee. ...I FELT ROBBED. I will never return nor recommend it to anyone.....they should stop embellishing the menu with descriptions that don't match the actual product, among other things.

The crepes were absolutely delicious, but the service was even better! The lovely girl who served us was so friendly and kind - a credit to her employers! Thank you Ella for your nice chats and for giving us so much of your time even though we could tell you were very busy. Will be returning soon!

Not really a mall—more a big, lively food hall. Lots of seating in the middle, mostly grab-and-go places, easy for everyone to pick different food and eat together. Go before 12:15 to skip the lunch queues. It’s set in a gorgeous Victorian bonded warehouse that also houses the EPIC museum and a digital start-up space

This is an incredible start up hub. The lunch place Toss'd is delicious, and they've got a Starbucks inside. We invited the DHQ innovation hub and Dogpatch Labs.

Great musuem, lots of modern delivery of information, first section is old Ireland, lots of reading then it becomes more visual and interactive displays. You get a map to stamp as you go through each area THIS MAP GETS YOU BACK IN FREE OF CHARGE AT ANY TIME, great value. There is also a small food court which serves the public or those visiting the museum We enjoyed a delicious lunch. Outside is the Jeanie Johnston replica ship. Lovely area for walking by the river with other sculptures on the quay side

A great place with an amazing arhitecture that need to be on your list to Things to see in Dublin. Inside there are a few coffee shops with a huge variety for breakfast and lunch, the tech lab Dogpatch also is one of the Aces of this place. But not forgetting the main atraction of it, The Epic Museum where anyone can enjoy and visualy search their irish heritage. Definetly it is a must to see in a future trip.

Epic museum was hugely interesting. You need time to take it all in. While the kids thought it was interesting, they wanted to move through much faster so I didn't get to absorb as much of it as i would have liked

Historic building with plenty to see and do. Great location and easy to get to. Epic is a great attraction and the food from The Bakehouse is delicious. Public toilets onsite.

Free wifi and access to Starbucks and other cafés, Dogpatch Labs, event spaces and of course the EPIC museum. You don’t need to buy a ticket to the museum to avail of the free seating inside or browse the museum gift shop. Good spot to get some work done if you’re in the area.

The pub as the name suggests has dark and dim light interiors all tables under candle light. The pub has a great selection of drinks. It's a great place to hand out with friends, and they provide decent selection of board games to enjoy as a group. They have limited food options. They get their food from Uno pizza from across the road. So not much options other than pizza. That being said pizza's are really good. Great place for pizza and drinks and to catch up with friends.

I’ve been a loyal customer of this pub for the last four years and have always loved the atmosphere and the memories I’ve made here. It really pains me to leave a one-star review, but my recent experience with the new security staff has left me feeling unwelcome and disrespected. When leaving the pub with my friends, we paused briefly at the entrance to say goodbye. The security guard asked us to move, saying we were blocking the entrance, and we complied. However, as I turned to say a quick goodbye to my friends, the security guard mocked and mimicked me, which felt incredibly unprofessional. When I addressed his behavior and said it was rude, he replied, “Well, I warned you twice.” I believe a security guard’s role is to ensure the safety and comfort of all patrons, not to antagonize or mock regular customers who pose no threat to the business or other customers. I’ve never had issues at this pub before, and I hope the management will address this matter. If I see improvements in how customers are treated, I’ll be more than happy to update my review to reflect the pub I’ve come to love.

Lovely place. A lot of young folks, some funny board games and great selection of drinks. Loved the vibe only down side the room was quite big and it was really hard to understand each other because of the noise (which is quite unfortunate for playing board games) but would recommend!

Stellar spot for a pint and a pizza, the lads working there are all dead sound* and they have some great pizzas available to order in. Cracking outside area that gets the evening sun and good music playing, gets busy early so get in while you can. *One woman working there got genuinely pissed off that I asked to charge the phone but otherwise they're all legends 😅

Staff were all a bit strange. They kept asking us for ID even though we showed them. They asked every time we asked for a drink. In 28, it was actually a nice compliment if anything. They might have been drunk on the job or something I don't know.

Cozy atmosphere, beer that hits the spot, and pizza that somehow tastes better than my cooking, and that’s saying something. Honestly, I came for the beer, stayed for the pizza, and considered never leaving. What more could you ask for?

If you would like to get a table here is better to reserve in advance. For a Saturday was impossible to get something for 3 people. Is a bit loud if you would like to chat. Otherwise the atmosphere is nice.

The most aesthetic cinema in town really! We loved the place! The 50s vibes are just so good, food and cocktails amazing! You can even get served hot food at your seat. The comfort of the chairs is unreal! Hope we’ll be dining there as well, the place looks fab!

Really nice would definitely recommend, comfortable seats, different options, wheelchair accessible. Food and snacks great , slightly pricer then regular movie theater but worth it . Staff helpful/ friendly. Hot food or food needed to be prepared is brought to you in first 45min of movie. Recommend nachos or Parmesan fries

The best Cinema experience in Dublin, You can even enjoy your movie in real Sofa. Perfect spot for romantic night and time, you can even take pint or wine with great facilities in this Old Theatre ambiance. It,s unique experience in Europe, I think. Enjoy the place and thank you for the welcome

I decided to take a solo day for myself, & totally switch off from the world and what a decision it was. I went to see Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning at The Stella – and honestly, this cinema is a dream. From start to finish, the experience felt like a luxurious escape from the world. First off, the armchairs. Oh my god. Big, beautiful, and cosy, spaced far enough apart that going alone felt completely natural and comfortable. You’re not crammed next to anyone, and every seat has its own side table and lamp. The layout is intimate, but not intrusive. Just perfect. The cinema itself? Pristine. Staff? So lovely – one male staff member in particular stood out. A sweet young server offered me a taste test of the “Vivian” cocktail before I committed (which, let’s be honest, is amazing as there’s nothing worse than paying for a cocktail you don’t like) but it was delicious. 😋 Before the movie started, I sat in the front lounge area, reading and sipping my drink in peace. It felt like a proper little escape. Then, once seated, I ordered a second drink and some cheese nachos to my chair – wow. Little VIP experience in itself. These weren’t your average cinema nachos. We’re talking real melted cheese poured on top, with extra jalapeños (freshly cut, not on the menu – a spicy touch I loved!) A little tip though: go to the toilet before the movie starts. The setup includes poufs and footrests at every chair, which are great for comfort and storage – but if you need to get out mid-movie, you’ll be doing some very polite manoeuvring (or light hopping) to reach the aisle. Honestly, I had an incredible time and left feeling relaxed, content, and a little indulgent in the best way. I’m hoping to make this a new tradition – going solo to The Stella, switching off completely, and giving myself the treat of slowing down and enjoying the moment. Highly recommend this little solo cinema ritual to anyone. ✨

The Stella Cinema in Rathmines is hands down the best cinema I’ve ever been to. It’s not just about watching a film – it’s about the entire experience. From the luxurious seating to the impeccable service, everything feels premium yet comfortable. The art deco interior has been beautifully restored, giving the space an elegant charm that perfectly complements the movie-going experience. The seats are incredibly comfortable, with plenty of legroom, and the small tables make it easy to enjoy food and drinks while watching. The staff are friendly, polite, and genuinely seem to care about ensuring every guest enjoys their visit. The sound and picture quality are top-notch, and the food and cocktails are excellent too. This isn’t just a cinema – it’s a treat. Five stars – simply the best in Dublin.

Could not be more disappointed by my experience today trying to enjoy the most anticipated film of the last year. There seems to be no etiquette even suggested at this establishment. This isn't a cinema, it's a temple to gluttony. People wouldn't stop rustling cellophane and munching food, walking up and down in front of the screen, ushers were walking past me delivering food for at least an hour into the film. And everyone surrounding me was talking at full volume and scrolling/taking photos on their phones???? It was like being at the zoo. It's not a restaurant, it's not a party, it's not a photo-op; it's a cinema — act like it. Not to mention how many people were blatantly illegally recording the screen without any consequence. Really shocking experience.

I went here today with my girlfriend to watch “While you were sleeping” and we had a great time. The atmosphere at this cinema / old theatre is to write home about. It is super well maintained and there is such a nice and relaxed vibe to it. We watched the movie from a couch on the balcony and it was great. The couch is super comfortable with lots of space! I’m normally not a huge fan of old movies but it felt right to watch an old movie in this setting and I wasn’t disappointed: it was a very entertaining movie. We will definitely return to Stella in the future for other movies!

Just a thing. Here you can feel the soul peace, to relax your mind... to find yourself for the moment🌸 Few minutes far away from the city routines

Good place to chill out with friends and family ... Not to much crowded.... Visited here to get a good pic of the cherry blossom, but was disappointed as the season was over.... 😔😔🥺

Full of birdlife, ducks, swans, herons, seagulls, and pigeons , it’s a wonderful place to enjoy a bit of nature in the city. I even spotted golden fish in the pond! Perfect for walking, relaxing, or having a picnic, it really feels like a hidden gem in Dublin. The only drawback is that the public toilets close after 5 pm, which can be inconvenient.

A peaceful and beautiful park in the heart of Dublin. Great for walking, relaxing, or having a picnic. Lovely trees, clean paths, and a little pond with ducks. A hidden gem if you need a break from the city.

Grill Fest, cracking weather for it. Well kitted out between food and play area for kids.

Herbert Park is stunning! It's one of Dublin's most beautiful parks. Whether it's Spring or Autumn, it's amazing. In Spring, you'll find gorgeous cherry blossoms, and in Autumn, the park transforms with a cinematic view of yellow and brown leaves.

Definitely the park to go if you want to see the cherry blossoms during the spring time. Also love going here every Sunday because of the farmer's market. 💕

Went with wife and kids (10 & 13). This is a typical “pub grub” place and the food was good. Service was fine and friendly. Overall cleanliness was just average. We got chicken wings which were good. Bangers and mash were also fine. Caesar Salad was standard too.

I just wanted to let you know that i had a wonderful night! I’ve been going to Mother Ryles for a year now, and I’ve always had great experiences there and my birthday night was no different. Your staff is amazing, I’ve always been treated so well. The food was delicious, and all of my 50 guests loved the space, the food, and the service provided by your team. I really enjoyed the privacy the space offers, and I’d love to come back for another occasion. It was truly a memorable night! I’m very happy I chose you to celebrate my birthday.

Wonderful pub. Congratulations for staff very responsible and polite. I remember when I went to the pub with my colleagues of job, I ate pasta, drunk white wine and everything was incredible. I went back last week in during my break, I was very simple and I received amazing service.

Do you ever feel like you’ve been cheated out of a good meal? That’s what we experienced. We’d walked past Mother Reilly’s more times than I can count, always promising, “Next sunny day, we hit the beer garden.” Saturday gave us that gift — blue skies, a rare Dublin sun, and the added temptation of some nice chicken wings on the menu. Seemed like fate. The garden’s a good spot in theory — if you can navigate the strange, U-shaped labyrinth of corridors and doorways to figure out how to get served. No lounge staff in sight, so we hiked to the main bar. Three staff at the end, mid-conversation, eyes glazed with the kind of indifference that says we’re off the clock in our heads. I asked for a menu and a pint; the barman waved me back to my seat, said the lounge staff would come. Ten minutes later, they did. The wings came in either ½ kg or full kg portions — a size measurement of food we both found odd, and in hindsight, should have been our first warning. We ordered the half kilo with fries and then waited well over 30 minutes, long enough to seriously contemplate walking out. When they finally arrived, the wings were so small they felt like the runt cousins of actual chicken. There was little to no meat on them — the weight of the bones clearly justified the price tag. Fries? Cool, naked, unseasoned. We went on another salt-seeking trek through the maze. We left €45 lighter and still hungry. No buzz, no atmosphere, no care from the people running the joint. The kind of place that doesn’t know it’s in the hospitality business. There’s a million spots in Dublin where you can get a decent pint and wings that won’t leave you cursing the day. This, sadly, isn’t one of them.

I booked the upper restaurant room for a private party, which was my best decision ever. The place was full, but despite that, the team was lovely, very attentive, and patient. The food was delicious and delivered quickly. If you want to throw a party and don't know where to do it, that's the place.

I just love this place. It’s got the best of both worlds — a top-notch restaurant and bar, but with the cosy feel of a real village pub. The food is absolutely fantastic, and there’s always something happening with regular live music and events. A brilliant place all around!

Very nice vintage style pub. Great location and great food. The reason for 3 stars is the service. The staff that was in shift when we were there was far more interested to be gathered together at the bar discussing in loud manner the most recent parties they have been to. We had starters and mains, not once we were approached by staff to check if everything is OK, would we like another drink etc.. Petty for the service because the food was really nice. Won't be in a rush to come back to this place.

We had a fantastic time on the Dublin walking tour with Jack. We learned a lot and enjoyed ourselves. I highly recommend taking this tour at the beginning of your stay in Dublin as a fast, dependable way to orient yourself in the city. The guides offer a lot helpful information about what to do while you’re here.

I took the Yellow Umbrella Walking Tour in Dublin with Sam & it was exceptional! Sam paid great attention to detail, listing specific dates and even fact checking along the way to answer questions. The tour was organized and it was clear Sam truly cared about the tour and our experience but also his home city of Dublin. Highly recommend, thanks Sam!!

Did the main sites of dublin tour today, Sam was our guide. He was fantastic, loved all the stories, got to see a lot. He shared detailed knowledge of landmarks, history and culture. Highly recommend!

Great free walking tour with Jack. We learnt a lot about the South side and Dublin in general. Really nice walk with a balanced mixture of historical information and fun facts. As we liked the tour a lot, we spontaneously decided to book a beer tasting with them for the same day. Again it exceeded our expectations. This time we and a nice bunch of people were guided by Sam through different pubs and learned interesting stuff about beer and whiskey. As promised this tour was not a pub crawl but an entertaining and informative evening.

Yellow Umbrella Macabre and Bloody Tour. To Robert: first of all, I love your energy and vibes. you're super knowledgeable, you talk passionate about the things you want and need to talk about, and are a joy to listen to. You show genuine interest in the people you're touring, without prying or being too in your face. it's wonderful. the tour itself is very informative, with some nice gruesome details about Dublin's history. from start to finish, a great walking pace, very enjoyable information told by a legitimately and genuinely fun person. would definitely book a tour again. thank you for helping make our honeymoon unforgettable!

We had the most amazing time with our guide Peter! Since we were the only participants this morning, we had a „private“ tour, that was very interesting and fun. Peter who is originally from Dublin knows this city and the history of Ireland by heart. We can warmly recommend this tour, that gives so many precious insights of Dublin and the irish culure!

Truly unforgettable experience. James was our tour guide and he offered so many fascinating historical details about the north side of Dublin. By sheer happenstance, the day of our tour there was a protest happening right at the Spire where the tour started and he handled it with such calm and grace. He was mindful of the people in the crowds and made sure we were safe at all times. He was super informative and kind. He also made a point of learning the nationalities of everyone in the group and catered certain facts based on that information. Would highly recommend any of these tours!

Emma, who is the interior designer for April & the Bear is simply outstanding. We had a half-completed home and I needed some-one who would work with our existing template to add key pieces of furniture, light fixtures, lamps, soft furnishings etc. She generated an amazing deck of images for each room and listed the cost for each item. This meant we could buy what we needed as we could afford it. But we wanted it all - every item was stunning. Emma works closely with Gary, a carpenter who made the most incredible built-in storage unit and a bespoke corner bench for our dining table that she had designed to fit our space. I am beyond delighted with the end result and so happy with our beautiful home. It was such a seamless and enjoyable process. I cannot recommend Emma and the entire team at April & the Bear more highly.

April & the Bear is an amazing store. I am a long time customer from when they were a pop up. Then they began to stock my work. So I am both a customer and do business. As a customer I love their super stylish stock, attention to detail and impeccable service to name a few things. They are an incredible business to deal with, are inspirational and are my bar for all other businesses. Their standards and integrity is super. But most of all they are SO SOUND!

Excellent shop, gorgeous products and great customer service.

One of my absolute favorite place for interiors and home bits. Everything we have gotten from A+ B has been a hit and the team are just gorgeous. I love the beautiful understated brass candlesticks as the perfect host gift 🎁

Cutest shop🫶🏼

Amazing customer service. I bought some beautiful mugs online as a Christmas present for a dear friend. When they arrived, to my dismay, two of the mugs were broken. I took pictures and e-mailed customer service. I was given a refund - including the delivery charge - no questions asked. I will be visiting the store in the near future to purchase the mugs in person.

Love this shop. Buy things pretty regularly from the place. A couple of times there was some hiccups with furniture deliveries and within minutes of me contacting them the issues were resolved. Great quality items, quick delivery and excellent customer service.

Love all that this society stands for 🤌🏻 A beautifully restored Georgian building that houses some stunning oil portraits of names you’ll spot all over Dublin. I went to one of their free exhibitions, showcasing old depictions of Dublin from the 1700-1800s

Fine example of historic building conservation and adaptation. Fascinating exhibition by Peter Pearson "Fragments of Dublin". Below my recent photo of the Bottle Tower, and reference to it in his book 'Decorative Dublin'.

Beautiful building Various projects arts

Absolutely beautiful- the Lia Laimbock exhibition made the walls sing!

Delightful building, pristinely well kept. Beautiful collections on exhibit at the oldest art gallery. Don't miss spending a good few minutes in the bookshop. Some veritable gems and the most knowledgable and charming Seamus, to make the whole experience truly memorable. Oh, and located in one of the best spots in Dublin. An absolute must if in Dublin and worth coming back every time.

Come learn about irish Georgian architecture. Lectures events about our history.

Absolute Georgian gem! In addition, they kindly provided exhibition space for this year's TCDVisArts Society event - which was a complete success!

Nothing to write home about. A few stalls, not a real vibrant market like the great ones in London and Germany. Only opens on Saturdays. Think I'll stick to London's great food markets, done properly there 7 days a week.

This market has lot of potential but very few stands, instead looks shabby. I come here as there is a stand with buffalo mozzarella and olives from Italy which is not that bad, there are literally 4/5 stands in a square where you can fit 10/12 I’d say! First of all the coffe stand is horrible! Seriously the coffee taste very bad! Then, the cake place… nothing is fresh there! Nothing, I had a sausage roll paid 4euros (in centra is 1 euro made same day) was so old I was disgusted! The rest is super overpriced, I mean supposed to be a market, markets usually are relatively cheap otherwise I would go in Follon&byrne

Great place, went on Saturday great food choices. Enjoyed my day works till 3.30.

not bad, but nothing special. there are about half of a dozen stands (if even that many). one selling produce, one meat, one cheese, a couple of pastries and another for coffee. I did very much enjoy the coffee and pastry I got (from two different vendors). nothing i would go out of the way for, but if in the are it would be very quick for you to swing through.

Not a food market per se, just 5 or 6 stands (and not all of them were selling food to eat there)

There could have been a lot more food stalls.

I was intrigued to visit this market since I heard a lot about it but never get the chance until few days ago. Besides a couple of stands with mozzarella, cheese and olives, that are not that bad (the stand with cheese allow you to taste some before you buy it), there are few stands more. Nothing special. There is a truck where you can buy a box of meat, which I tried at Merrion Square during the food market there, which is quite good, a stand with cakes, that seems not tasty at all, and a stand with bread. It's a pity because there is space to host other stuff, so it has potential, but it seems wasted.
