The Devlin is located in the buzzy Ranelagh neighbourhood, just a short 15 minute wander from the city centre. Ranelagh has all the benefits of the city centre, without the crowds of people and is the prime location for transporting to and from events both in and out of the city. Situated beside the LUAS tram and with a rake of bus routes to pick from, you have no excuse to be late for your event! The Devlin’s location doesn’t just make it easy to get to events all around Dublin, it also gives you more scope to live like a local and visit charming places that you might miss if you were staying amongst the bustle of the inner city. Below is a list of venues and events that we don’t want you to miss out on!
