Best Rated Movie Theaters in Ashbourne

"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."

"The countless sculptures and statues dotted around the cobbled streets of Dublin make for the perfect embellishments – we especially love the Famine Memorial sculpture in the Dublin city docklands and the statue of Countess Markievicz (the first woman elected to the British House of Commons) on Tara Street. But our ultimate pick has to be the bronze statue of the eponymous, mysterious heroine of “Molly Malone”, a traditional Irish ballad of uncertain origins and Dublin city’s unofficial anthem. Molly, who “wheels her wheelbarrow” in the centre of Dublin’s Georgian Quarter, draws hordes of tourists with a love for Irish folklore her way on the daily."

"Stop Five: Molly Malone Statue and O’Neill’s Pub Back inside the walls of Dublin, are two landmarks worth visiting during your 2 days in Dublin itinerary. The first is the statue of the mysterious but very popular Irish personality, Molly Malone, located on Grafton Street. Molly’s background is obscure at best."

"Christ Church Cathedral (founded c.1028) is the spiritual heart of the city, and one of the top visitor attractions in Dublin. Step inside and you can enjoy the cathedral’s beautiful interior and fascinating medieval crypt."

"With locations across central Dublin, Govindas is a great place to stop into for lunch. You walk up to the counter and ask for a regular or large plate, and the kind soul serving you proceeds to pile it high with homemade Indian-ish tasty glop. Their food isn’t as intensely flavorful as traditional Indian, but it’s so cheap and satisfying (and the soft Hare Krishna chanting playing in the background is so soothing) that I’m never disappointed."

"Govinda’s is a Simple Hare Krishna-run venue for a menu of European and Indian-influenced mains and puddings. A giant plate of food and a small side salad cost about 11 euro which is decent for a meal. If you’re missing a mammy’s dinner like a shepherds pie meal, this is the place to get one as a veggie!"

"This casual, unpretentious restaurant serves up Lebanese cuisine, and except for a couple of dishes that include cheese, the majority of Umi Falafel’s menu is vegan. Here you’ll find freshly prepared, home-made falafel in sandwiches and salads, along with sides like vegan spinach filo pastries, stuffed vine leaves and lentil soup. With a number of branches throughout Dublin, Umi Falafel can be found in Ireland’s oldest shopping mall, George’s Street Arcade."

"This café has the perfect setting to blow away the cobwebs, situated in the heart of Dublin's 'Silicon Docks'. Herb Street caters to the myriad of beautiful, modern apartment blocks and trendy tech offices that line the mouth of the Grand Canal and their brunch menu is regularly touted as one of the most enticing in the capital. They have a strong selection of pancakes including virtuous fruit and Irish oak-smoked salmon with horseradish creme fraiche."

"This place in Grand Canal Dock just has so many pancake options – blueberry pancakes with orange and honey butter, banana and hazelnut chocolate spread or chocolate and whipped cream."

"Thundercut Alley is the Smithfield area of Dublin|© Thundercut Alley. This camp dive bar in Smithfield offers Dublin’s best bottomless brunch, served on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 11.30am. Whether you’re having a big party or you just want to play Street Fighter to a background of lively music, this is a great place to come."

"Vintage arcade games and boozy brunch combine in this quirky favourite. A dive bar at the rear of a trendy bowling alley may not have traditionally earmarked itself as a brunch spot, but these days, you know it’s going to mean those two golden words: Bottomless."

"A bit of an edgier bathroom, Thunder Cut Alley has an interesting herd of rubber ducks swimming across the ceiling. Definitely something to occupy you while you use the loo."
