The Church Dublin
Arthur Guinness got married here!
The Church Restaurant is located on the north side of Dublin and is just across the road from the Primark flagship store. This spot is a popular tourist attraction and also serves good food along with cocktails in the evening.
The restaurant was originally St. Mary's Church and is actually where Arthur Guinness got married approximately 200 years ago. The Church has kept the interiors from St. Mary's and is quite an impressive building for a cup of tea or coffee! They have a regular bar downstairs and their Gallery Restaurant located on the first floor opens in the evening for dinner.
It is just a short stroll to one of Dublin's main shopping streets so it is the perfect spot to have a cup of tea, write some postcards or simply relax. The Church is quite a large building so you are never under pressure to leave your table. Guests are also free to pop in and look around so there isn't any need to purchase a tea or coffee if you would prefer just to have a look around.
The Church is located just at the top of Jervis Street which is a very popular shopping street so the perfect spot to pop in to for some lunch or dinner!
