A contemporary structure within an ancient building, The Atrium stands in palpable contrast to the…read moretime-honoured Dining Hall. The Dining Hall is saturated with various antique fixtures and fittings that harp back to Trinity's illustrious history whilst The Atrium embodies a more prevailing, up-and-coming side to the university often hosting a wealth of contemporary affairs such as fashion show receptions and photography exhibitions again in contrast to the more customary activities you would expect to go on within the conventional setting of the Dining Hall. A perfect spot for receptions and buffets alike, the Atrium loans itself to artistic and innovative activity, entertainment, staging and presentations. The interior is very up-to-the-minute with beech wood beams outlining the balconies, yet in conjunction with how it can never move too far away from it's historic roots owing to it being within the same ancient building as the Dining Hall The Atrium's interior design itself is deep-rooted and clearly influenced by Tudor beams, in fact upon first seeing inside it reminded me of a present-day Globe Theatre. A fun venue for work and play, this uniquely designed venue boasts a progressive charm whilst never losing touch with the enchanting Trinity times gone by that so many of the other grandiose buildings on site commemorate.

This intriguing mode of entry really roused my interest. Upon entry, ascend the white-washed walls laden with a whole conglomerate of paintings and photographs old and new. The Back Loft is a bright and roomy multi-disciplinary loft located at the back of La Catedral Studios. It is a multi-purpose space for the arts in a reclaimed Victorian industrial loft. Refurbished to a bare minimum to preserve the raw fabric of its past time charm, this inspired space is an unconventional artists' playground which embraces any art related project. The space may be hired for art exhibitions, live art events, theatre plays and rehearsals, workshops, intimate music gigs, dance, life drawing, photo shoots, film location and functions, to mention a few. The Back Loft is particularly open to experimentations and to adventurous site-specific work, to individual and collectives' curated projects and is an ideal springboard for emerging artists. I recently attended a photo exhibition here organized by a college friend who was able to get her hands on the venue relatively easily. Since its establishment in 2005, the Back Loft has played host to a great array of events independently curated by individuals and collectives. From what she said the studios offered a nurturing and supportive environment with 24 hr/7 day access, wi-fi, visibility on the studios' blog, kitchen and chill out space, free attendance at the back loft events, participation in an open studio event at Culture Night, negotiable rates for hire of the Back Loft and free access to the Back Loft for private use. I have attended a separate function here where I witnessed the use of one projector, one sound system (mixing desk and two speakers), two microphone stands, one microphone, one upright acoustic piano and a rack of gallery spotlights to further emphasise it's unique resourcefulness. From a punter's point of view the space's great natural light as a result of sky-lights running the length of the space and original pine timber flooring provide the ideal backdrop to witness pioneering artwork like no other.

The space is a solid venue space to host an event. Big room, It has that NY city loft feel meets local messy artist space. Lots of cool local artists have their work displayed all around the gallery. The drawbacks Some of the a/v equipment wasn't working on my last visit there and the bathrooms need better maintenance, but other than that the venue is a chill hang out spot!

While her thighs were pursed as she patiently waited outside the lone cubical, I waited as long as I could before opening the door to let her in beside me. A fissional surge of energy exploded kicking over my empty naggen bottles as her head burst into 9 distinct pieces that hurtled into the air. 5 stars! What an excellent exhibition.

Prepare to be challenged! Other than the escape rooms, The Clockwork Door is a "time house" where people can congregate and pay for their time spent there by the minute. Everything is included- board games, snacks, and coffee/tea. Post-escape room, the staff grants your group free unlimited access to the leisure area. My group enjoyed a game of Scrabble and cookies after our escape room experience. This seems like a great alternative to the drinking culture in a Dublin, or for folks too young to drink. I highly recommend this experience for visitors and locals alike.

I mean dark wooden bookcases with rows and rows of books probably covered with dusk, chairs with green leather seats and solid dark wood desks. I've been to a few conferences here. They have a large room at the back - that you have to quietly walk through a library to get to - and a smaller room at the front. They probably have more rooms that I haven't been in. As well as they old style learned atmosphere they have all the modern equipment like LCD projectors and that. The large room as some benches that make your arse go numb after awhile but I still like it... possibly because it's the kind of place you could imagine yourself smoking a pipe in!

Dublin Castle was originally built in the early 1200s as a medieval fortress under the instruction…read moreof King John of England. For centuries, it was the headquarters of English (and eventually British) rule in Ireland. In 1684, a large fire destroyed a large portion of the castle. Instead of matching the original Gothic style, most of it was rebuilt using a Georgian style, similar to what you'd find in the French Palace of Versailles! It's quite the contrast. When you visit Dublin Castle, you can choose to explore it in two ways: with a self-guided tour to the state apartments or with a scheduled guided tour that visits the Viking Excavation, the Chapel Royal, and the State Apartments. When you first enter the courtyard, you'll immediately see the newer Georgian architecture in the neat red brick buildings surrounding the square. From the 13th century to the early 20th century, the castle was under British control. It served from being a royal palace and parliament to a prison. Dublin Castle was eventually handed over to General Michael Collins on the 16th of January in 1922. Collins was a soldier and a politician who lead the Irish people through their fight for Independence Dublin Castle plays a huge role in Ireland's history and a walk around the grounds is time well spent. Today the castle is a government complex and tourist attraction. Stroll through the famous Chester Beatty Library if time permits
