Brennan Hall

Eh, it’s an okay theater. The seats are surprisingly comfortable, but other than that, there isn’t a whole lot else that is memorable or noteworthy. It’s a little more chain-y than some other great local theaters (Nitehawk, Syndicated, etc), so the crowds tend to be a little more casual as well, resulting in a lot of bad theater manners with people being on phones and talking, but that seems to be more of a widespread issue everywhere now.

I stopped in here on a whim as I was walking by and assumed it was a book/library/literature-themed bar. Sure, there are some books, but this is just a very expensive, swanky cigar bar. So it depends on what you're looking for. If you're a wealthy banker getting off the job and looking for whiskey and cigar, I'm sure you'll love it. Otherwise, this place is probably going to be a little intimidating and/or unwelcoming.

A generally good museum experience. Very ornate rooms and paintings. My only reason for not rating higher is because I think Dublin castle ended up paling in comparison to other castles we visited in Ireland and Scotland. After seeing Edinburgh Castle and Stirling Castle in Scotland and then seeing Dublin Castle, Dublin Castle felt a bit lackluster. Make sure to visit the Dubh Linn garden right outside if you visit—it's gorgeous!
