This is @thechurchdublin, a very memorable and fun dining spot in Dublin ☘️

Yes, it’s actually a former 17th-century church
that’s now a café, bar, and restaurant 🙏🍻

☕ Coffee + pastries during the day
🍽️ Full menu for lunch & dinner
🍺 Live music and pints at night

It’s big, beautiful, and cozy inside, so give yourself time to wander around.

We ate here with our 5 year old son around 430pm and had no wait, and the staff were very friendly to him 👶🏼

⚠️ Reservations are highly recommended! especially evenings and weekends

This is one of those places that might feel touristy, but when we went there was a good mix of locals and visitors 🇮🇪✨
