Dublin’s south side is an increasingly good place to be as a creative, with a tight-knit design community that is incredibly welcoming. The streets are in a constant state of flux, with new restaurants and shops joining the classic historic charm that the city is steeped in. There’s nothing better than spending a Sunday wandering around the myriad of book stores before retiring to a cosy pub for the evening.

Our second favourite cinema in the city (the first being the Lighthouse on the Northside), the IFI provides an excellent collection of high quality independent films from Irish and international cinema. One of the best aspects of the Institute is the excellent events they coordinate, ranging from horrorthons to documentary festivals, they consistently provide opportunities for audiences to engage with incredible films that may have eluded them. The in-house cafe bar has an amazing menu with genuinely delicious food and the shop stocks everything from books to classic film posters.
