Lovely theatre. Coffees served before the show would have been nice as I was coming from work and needed a coffee... but none on offer. Enjoyed great James Joyce play, Ulysses lately.

Single best theater in Dublin! Always showcasing great Irish talent. The Abbey also has particularly deep roots connected to Irish history; this was basically the theater that fought to help preserve Irish culture and arts during British Colonial rule. Highly recommend stopping by for a show when in Dublin!

A wonderful modern theatre staging a wide variety of performances. Every time I go here, I forget how small it is. There really are no bad seats in the Abbey. There is a bar upstairs serving a reasonable selection of drinks, though only two draught beers. Ticket prices are reasonable too. Find a show that appeals to you, and just go here.

It's not easy to just rate the theater itself without taking into account the piece we saw there. It's not the historic Abbey of the 1920s. The current building is from the 1980s, I would appreciate. It's not very pretentious or plush in the auditorium, but the acoustics are good for that. And the crew at the box office is Irish-friendly. The piece was sensational by the way ... that was not the location, but the author. It had on it. Shakespeare.

Beautiful. Our national theatre, right in the middle of the city centre. Lovely friendly staff (thank you in particular to Marie, front of house). Layout is fantastic with seating perfectly terraced for unobstructed views of the stage. Comfortable bar (check out those portraits) on the first floor. An absolute gem.
