“The building's original architecture, dating back to its days as a schoolhouse, definitely makes it stand out. I appreciate that it's located a bit outside the city center, near a quiet branch of the river, yet still within walking distance of Trinity College. The gastrobar, with its focus on local Irish cuisine, is a real highlight.”
