If Ireland did boozy St Paddy’s Day breakfasts… well, they do, and the Ruby Molly has promised to get the party started early.
So early, in fact, that they’re starting the night before on March 16, with what they’re billing a Pre-Parade celebration.
The action gets going with an hour of free welcome drinks between 4pm and 5pm and a Dublin feast of food.
Featuring those Irish classics Guinness, Jameson whiskey and, er William Grant.
See they do cater for their diaspora from Scotland.
While it wouldn’t be Dublin if there wasn’t a singalong.
And the Ruby Molly has Jerry Miles to entertain you while you scoff your specially curated menu inspired by Irish classics.
Tour de force
You’ll be perfectly situated for the Dublin Grand Parade, just ten minutes from the hub that is Temple Bar.
And the Guinness Storehouse within strolling distance for the best panoramic views of the city from the Gravity Bar, and best pint of plain.
Although family loyalties will always mean we point in the direction of the Liffeyside institution that is the Workshop bistro bar, next to the Tara Street Dart (or train) station.
While if you’re wanting some culture, or just get away from the crowds for a breather.
Then Trinity College and its Book of Kells and the National Gallery are havens of peace.
Of course, it’s no coincidence that the Ruby group dedicated their hotel to arguably Dublin’s most famous citizen, one Molly Malone.
Molly’s Dublin
As its location in Oxmanstown on the north of the river is solid market trading land.
Where you’d not be surprised to find Mrs Brown or her boys.
Once the site of an abbey, the rediscovery of parts of its vault in the 1880s, 7 feet under the street, adds to the mystical allure surrounding the hotel.
Drawing inspiration from the vibrant covered market of 1892, Ruby Molly channels former market trader Anna Lawlor’s story.
A place where farmers sold their fresh produce.
Including the much-coveted strawberries that adorned the tables of Dublin’s finest hotels.
And well-endowed Dublin lasses sold their cockles and mussels, alive-oh.
