Bord Gais Energy Theatre is a breath-taking modern theatre hosting an array of shows from musicals through to ballet, comedy and concerts.

This square is home to multiple leading financial companies and many blue-chip companies’ in the area including HSBC, Google, Facebook, Matheson and McCann Fitzgerald, JP Morgan and Indeed. The Luas provides easy access to the rest of the city and the Dart is less than a fifteen minute walk away. It also has its own railway station at Barrow Street and is approx. a fifteen-minute walk into Grafton street.

      History & Culture

      The Grand Canal Docks first opened in 1796 and at during this time were the world's largest docks. They fell into decline within a few decades and by the 1960s, the Grand Canal Docks were almost completely derelict. Regeneration began in 1998, when Bord Gáis sold the Dublin Docklands Development Authority (DDDA) the former gasworks site located in the area between Sir John Rogerson's Quay and Hanover Quay, for €19 million. They spent €52 million decontaminating the land between 2002 and 2006 and once this was complete there was a significant demand in the area bringing prosperity and with an important decision by Google to set up its European headquarters in the area. Grand Canal Square Square was completed in 2008 and the €8 million plaza consists of red resin-glass paving that juts out into the water, dotted with illuminated red poles. There are nice planted plots positioned across the square and bring a fresh feel to the square. Samuel Beckett Bridge was designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava Valls gives residents a stunning river view towards the city and over to the Convention centre. Boland's Mill was a functioning mill until 2001 and in early 2019, the site underwent a €150 million reconstruction to become Bolands Quay, accommodating new residences, commercial, retail, and public spaces. Millennium Tower is a historic apartment building located on the Grand Canal outer basin. At 63 metres in height, it was the tallest standing building in Dublin from 1998 - 2009. The Alto Vetro apartment building was awarded the Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland’s Silver Medal for Housing (2007-2008) and is a stunning addition in the area.

Boojum is an extremely popular local option offering casual Mexican burrito bar with award-winning casual food at great prices. The frequent everyday queue outside shows its worth a visit. Milano’s is one of Ireland’s favourite pizza spots with a relaxed dining atmosphere and offering fabulous pizza, pasta and salads options. Herbstreet offer diners homemade food cooked to order, using locally sourced ingredients. Part of their service is to minimise their carbon footprint and provide food and drink that is as sustainable as possible for the environment. Charlotte Quay Bar and Restaurant is regarded as one of Dublin's most atmospheric and chilled spots for good dinner and drinks. With panoramic water views over Grand Canal, it is an experience that must be had! One of the newer additions is Mackenzie’s who provide a no-frills menu which is big on taste and made with local in-season ingredients.
