Cinema
Newly opened Cinema in Rathmines, what makes it special is that it’s a fully refurbished Art Deco cinema that serves wine, beer etc..
Our cottage is really close and there’s a shortcut through Grosvenor Square that brings you straight into Rathmines (just ask me).

All the shops you’d need in one location but it’s well worth getting lost on some of the side streets which there are vintage clothing shops and small independent cafes.
