INSPIRING

2015 - Dublin Ireland

We had lunch in this inspiring church now pub/restaurant.


The former St. Mary’s Church of Ireland is one of the earliest examples of a galleried church in Dublin.

Built at the beginning of the 18th century, it boasts many outstanding features, such as the Renatus Harris built organ and spectacular stained glass window.St. Mary’s closed in 1964 and lay derelict for a number of years until it was purchased by John Keating in 1997.


In September 2007 the building was acquired by new owners and renamed “The Church Bar & Restaurant”.



LAST CALL


Letter I is a hard one!  We stayed in the Imperial Hotel in Galway Ireland in 1991! I had scanned the brochure years ago.
Just googled it and it is still there.


 Just throwing in a photo from 1991 Galway.


Yikes look at the fashion plates!!

  4. Well I suppose I should have gone Irish as I live here but I am glad to see you did INSTEAD! I have yet to be at that church restaurant and I did think about it on Tuesday when I went down to Dublin to see the Soroolla Art Exhibition which was wonderful. Next time must vist that restaurant. I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
