Reviews

  • Michael Linnane

Great facilities. Always has fantastic drink and food options when there's a rugby game on. The grandstand is also a very nice addition to the stadium. We were on Block J Row 2 and the seats were fantastic and actually comfy. Highly recommend going to see Leinster play here

  • Amanda Thompson

Wonderful and vibrant atmosphere during games. We watched the Pro14 semifinals. Service was good from security to bartenders. Beers aren't expensive, actually cheap for Dublin. Love the architecture of the stadium, covered seating available

  • Ann Wallace

Arriving early is a must, have the freedom to roam the stalls grab a coffee and stroll around. Close to noon it was getting busy and difficult to move around, glad at thst stage to have my tickets for the stand. Toilets were kept clean but

Excellent Gifted Irish Arts and Crafts event. Better than the 2021 event but really busy. Catering was much improved with the restaurant at the front of the arena operating. It cost about €16 for a sandwich, croissant and two bottles of

A sporting Mecca. Whether it's the Dublin Horse Show in August of each year or Leinster rugby for the rest of the year, the RDS plays host to only the very best sport. This historic venue manages to blend old world charm with modernity.

  • Daniel Hildebrandt

Bruce Springsteen concert was great. Loved the location because it’s a smaller venue. The Irish seemed surprised that people like to drink beer, because there were definitely not enough beer stands!!!

  • Paul Walsh

Had great fun here, lots of places to get snacks and drinks. There was lots of seating. They really did put on a great show with mascots, drummers and fire before the match started and at half time.

Attended an exhibition there this week. There is paid car parking on site. The RDS is an iconic building, easy to get to and sufficiently spacious enough to accommodate large exhibitions

  • Martin Walport

Great stadium. Access was good although getting out wasn’t so straight forward. Enjoyed seeing Springsteen and The E Street Band in a “smaller” stadium. Would definitely go back.

  • Irish NH

Fantastic venue for the horse show. So much to see, super showing classes and lots of shopping. Highly recommend as the top equestrian event in Ireland each year. Unmissable!

  • Darragh Byrne

Good spot to watch a game, atmosphere very good. Could do with a bit of an update. Their is usually a queue for food & drinks at half time and a limited number of toilets.

  • P D

Great gig at a good venue. Beer stalls well staffed to ensure quick moving queues. Could have had more toilets facilities considering tsize of the crowd.

  • Chris Beard

Visited the Dublin Tattoo Convention with the family. Plenty of park, tattoo artists, food and drinks. Music and entertainment was great.

  • Amy Doyle

Great venue, great choice of food and drinks. Well organised friendly staff. We really enjoyed the Leinster match even in the rain.

  • Andy Griffin

The horse show was excellently staged. Top quality horsemanship; good range of shopping and feeding opportunities.

  • Dandy Ahuruonye

Covered stand area is very nice, but you need a different ticket to get into that area

Attended the BT Young Scientists. Excellent day out. Thoroughly recommended
