The venue space is lovely - really modern and open. There was a lovely kitchen area with plenty of tea, coffee and snacks available. The conference room was too small for our event but would be fine for a meeting or non event seminar where literature and information is not required. Staff were very helpful and tried to ensure that all our visitors found their way into the space. The catering was fab, really fresh and tasty and everyone loved the cake and pastries.

Verified Reviews of Affordable Venues in Dublin
I don't have enough good things to say about The Merchant's Arch. I rented the event room upstairs for part of my wedding festivities and was SO pleased with how everything turned out. There was no request that was too big, and their help and guidance from afar was amazing. The location of The Merchant's Arch is perfect, right in the heart of temple bar. The staff at The Merchant's Arch treats you like family. The food is so good, we came back even after our event. We had live music streamed in from downstairs, and a slide show of photos playing on their projector screen and all the TVs. Everything was magical and the perfect kick off to our wedding. I can't wait to visit again.
Jess and Jim were absolutely fantastic! They helped us make our hen party go smoothly and to perfection. Mirella was on top of all of the details and ensured everyone and everything was perfect for the day. The food was 20/10, everyone loved the food platters and they catered amazing for dietary requirements. The venue was so accommodating and we couldn’t be more thankful
|The venue was clean, spacious, with multiple toilets. Danton was on location to accommodate our needs for additional tables after the celebration began. The room stayed cool with two tower fans on an extremely hot day. Very close to Parnell Luas. Moreover, the price was amazing for an all day event. I would highly recommend!
I had a wonderful experience renting Flux Studio! Katie and the staff are incredibly kind and helpful. The location is very convenient, and the venue looks exactly like the pictures—clean, bright, and colorful. If you are looking for the perfect space for art events or workshops, this is exactly what you need. Thank you so much, Flux Studio!
We recently rented Segotia for a shoot, and the experience exceeded all expectations. From start to finish, everything was handled with absolute professionalism and care. The space itself was immaculate — incredibly clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully laid out. Every detail felt considered, creating an environment that was both functional and visually impressive. What truly stood out was the friendliness and support from the team. They were welcoming, responsive, and genuinely invested in making sure everything ran smoothly for us. Nothing felt like too much trouble, which made the whole experience stress-free and enjoyable. The amenities were also top-tier — everything we needed was readily available, modern, and in excellent condition. It made the logistics of the shoot seamless and allowed us to focus entirely on the creative side. Overall, Segotia is an outstanding venue, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it. We’re already looking forward to working there again!
The owner was really nice and so is the space will definitely book again!!! Really private and spacious area to do anything
Everything was perfect!!!! From the place being spotless and the staff being super attentive to the food platters being delicious!!! Thanks to the team for making my event extraordinary!!! Received lots of compliments and my guests really enjoyed it!!!
