This is a bit touristy too (see last entry) but the building itself is worthy of a review. One of the few guildhalls left in Dublin - I believe there is only two still standing - this was an Abrakebabra for years but now has a much more sympathetic use and seems to retain much of its original architecture.
The large domed stairwell leads up to a high ceiling bar/restaurant with good views out on the city - but bloody awful table placement that makes it impossible to see them. In the interests of saving space, I presume, the toilets are in the basement which makes the trip from the mezzanine on the upper floor to them more than a bit taxing.
There's another bar downstairs which had live music in it - which, I think, was being played upstairs. If it wasn't, they were playing a clearly live recording of someone else which would be a bit strange.
