So there we were, walking down Henry Street, minding our own business, when up pops this interesting 18th century parish church and interestingly encased tower...

The tower |
|
Someone's else photo |
|
The fine print; really no sign on the outside to indicate what was
within |
|
We stepped inside, and there it is, a faithfully and perfectly
restored 18th century church; Handel played the organ during
his time in Dublin; OK, some minor alterations have been
made; there was no question we would spend the rest of the
evening here |
|
We took seats in the chancel |
|
And the band; cracked me up they were seated right in front of
the "This do in remembrance of me" sign; the wind instrument
is an Uillean, the Irish bagpipe--the bags are squeezed by the
elbows, not blown |
|
Dining in the nave as well as in the upstairs |
|
"I wonder if we might have a table over there,
near Rev. Black? |
|
The set menu; there's an a la carte menu; and
of course the usual pub grub |
|
The place was rich with history |
|
Especially Dublin history: Arthur Guinness, founder of the black
stuff, married here |
|
Later, we moved over to the other side of the chancel |
|
The band was great; better, there was traditional dancing too--
I'll post a video as soon as we have better cell reception than
here in Sligo; if you're in Dublin, don't miss |
