Mentioned by Tripadvisor's Top Things to Do
Top things to do in the Province of Leinster
"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."

It is the city’s biggest fixed-seat theater and was designed by Polish-American architect Daniel Libeskind for the Dublin Docklands Development Authority."
"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."
"Among the most popular places in Dublin, San Lorenzo’s offers Italian cuisine with some pleasant American contaminations in a relaxed and informal atmosphere in the city center. Reservations required every day of the week."
"One of Dublin's most beautiful restaurants, The Ivy is well-loved and constantly frequented by locals and visitors to the city alike. The perfect place for a special occasion, this London export brings its classic all-day gastro menu and iconic botanical interiors to Dawson Street."
"When it's not decorating your Instagram feed, The Ivy is cooking up homely and hearty plates, which includes a giant weekend menu. Perfect for a classy meet-up, this swanky restaurant on Dawson Street has a chilled atmosphere and a slick breakfast cocktail list."
"Pretty as not one, not two, but something like 1000 pictures, not only is The Ivy Dublin a treasure on the restaurant, it's a fun and elegant dinign spot that will have you gushing over everything from the interiors to the plates."
"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."
"Located on the Grand Canal Dock, this lovely cafe offers two types of pancakes- a short stack or a tall stack with a variety of delicious toppings including maple syrup, blueberries and orange honey butter, chocolate chips and whipped cream, and banana and hazelnut chocolate spread."
