Summer drinks at the Schoolhouse

As the evenings stretch out and the city slows down, step into the Schoolhouse Gastrobar and settle in. Our courtyard, high ceilings and easy atmosphere make it the perfect place to catch the last of the sun.

Sip on our signature seasonal cocktails: bright, fresh and made for long evenings; or keep it simple with a cold beer and something crisp. Whether you’re meeting friends after work or stealing a quiet hour to yourself, there’s no better way to spend a summer evening.

Match and Concert Days at Schoolhouse

Feel the match-day buzz in the perfect setting!

Located just a short stroll from the Aviva Stadium and RDS, Schoolhouse is known as the ideal spot to soak up the pre- and post-match atmosphere. Enjoy our special Match Day Menu, designed for smooth service so you can focus on the game, the crowd, and the craic.

Catch all the action live on our big screen and multiple TVs throughout the Gastrobar, making sure you don’t miss a second. And it’s not just for rugby and football; our Match Day Menu also applies to select concert days, so you can fuel up before the show!

Our Reviews

“We were a group of 5 ladies, staying at Schoolhouse and dining there. Couldn’t fault any dish, and very friendly service…. attentive but not intrusive.”

“Everything was excellent. The friendliness and efficiency of the staff, the comfort, the gastro bar, the very good breakfast, the fact that they cleaned the room even in the afternoon, the very calm and discreet hotel, even though it’s not in the centre of Dublin it’s relatively close, ideal for spending a few days in Dublin.”
