About Rathmines Hall
Rathmines Hall, originally the Rathmines Town Hall from 1820 and rebuilt in Art Deco style in the 1930s, is a striking historic venue on Rathmines Road. Its curved facade, neon signage remnants, and symmetrical design reflect Ireland's interwar architectural flair, hosting everything from dances to council meetings. Once the administrative heart of Rathmines Township, it symbolises the area's independence until 1930 amalgamation with Dublin.
