Your Dublin guide to beer, beer bars, breweries and brewpubs
"The last item on our list is undoubtedly one of the finest examples of modern architecture in the city. The Bord Gáis Energy Theatre was designed by Polish-American architect Daniel Libeskind in 2010, and its contemporary, angular style ties in perfectly with its home in the ultra modern Grand Canal area. The design ties into its theatrical theme with a striking composition of a ‘red carpet’ with bright resin-glass paving extending from the theatre, covered with distinctive red glowing angled light sticks."
"Designed by Studio Libeskind in 2010, the Grand Canal Square formed an important milestone for the redevelopment of the Dublin Docklands area. The 2000-seat theater is based on the concept of stages: the stage of the theater, the stage of the piazza, the stage of the multiple lever lobby above the piazza."

"One of my all time favourite memories as a child was visiting the Gaiety Theatre with my grandmother. She use to take us once a year and I absolutely loved it. Things haven’t changed too much at The Gaiety but it remains a prominent influence on Irish arts and theatre."
"Located in Temple Bar, the Project Arts Centre has become a leader in contemporary artistic practice in Dublin and in Ireland. It also hosts local and international festivals like the Dublin Writers Festival, the Dublin Theatre Festival or the Dublin Fringe Festival."
"Tucked away in the historic cobbled streets of Temple Bar is Project Arts Centre, Dublin's best kept secret, a venue packed full of surprises."
"Again, you will have done your homework and booked something in advance, we hope (though there always is a chance to get late tickets even for the Abbey Theatre, with a bit of luck). If you are set on enjoying an Irish night out, a large number of pubs offer their services and many also provide entertainment (free or for a small fee in most cases). Just follow the crowds, which will, more than likely, bring you to the Temple Bar area."
"This Arts Centre in Dundrum has a range of events and programmes, but in particular they have a great programme for children. In July they also run performance summer camps."
"Really friendly tolerant staff, well used to kids wandering around. They have a great atmosphere, and plenty of choice for everybody with a massive menu – better again, with outlets in Dun Laoghaire, Tallaght, Dundrum and Blanchardstown and a few dotted around the city centre, they're a solid option wherever you happen to be."
"Walk-ins town or bookings, this southside beauty on Dublin's most famous roundabout will welcome all. Owner Gerry Mcgeough described it as "Dublin's favourite beer garden" telling Dublin Live "our team are ready and are looking forward to welcoming people back to the Heart of Walkinstown". He added: "We are busy with painting and cleaning and watering the flowers. We will have capacity for 30 in our garden and we are creating ancillary outdoor spaces to compliment the garden."
"Maldron Hotel Newlands Cross is a 3 star hotel located in the west of Dublin beside the historic village of Clondalkin. The hotel is just off exit 1A of the N7 and 5 minutes from exit 9 off the M50. The hotel is close to public transport links making it easy to travel in and out of the city centre but there is also ample complimentary car parking on site if you would prefer to travel by car."
"Located on Dublins busy O’Connell Street, Gelato Di Natura Dublin is another superb traditional Italian ice-cream parlour.

"The Queen of Tarts is so good they have two venues one in the heart of Temple Bar on Cow's Lane and the original branch on Dame Street. Sisters Regina and Yvonne Fallon took their experience working as pastry chefs in New York and opened a haven for sugar junkies and coffee lovers alike. Their coffee is freshly ground Lavazza and some of their delicious sweet concoctions include Bailey's chocolate chip cheesecake, tangy lemon meringue tart and warm plum tart - something to suit everyone's tastes."
"A little gem in the sloping Cow street in Temple Bar is Queen of Tarts where you can indulge in chocolate fudge cake and enjoy a traffic-free terrace seat while sipping your cup of choice. Check out the great menu of traditional Irish soups and soda bread, pulled ham, tuna melt sandwiches, fudge cake, pecan tart, Baileys Cheesecake dessert, and a lot more. Queen of tarts has a huge menu that offers morning breakfast, brunch, lunch and snack meals."
