Halloween Party




So Halloween has just come and gone, and it was celebrated in style in our Hostels here. We threw a Halloween Party in Jacobs Inn for the guests of both there and Isaacs Hostel, and it was great fun! We had games and prizes to be won. For any who did not come in costume, we had a table set up with bin nags, rolls of toilet paper and other items so guests could make their own costume. We also had live music from Italian outfit 'The Criminal Jokers' who played a great set for over an hour to a packed crowd. It was great!

So now that Halloween is over, we look forward to Christmas i guess, although it does still seem too far away for now. First however is the US election, which is being voted for 2moro. Lets see how that one pans out.........

Hello Again!


So it has been a while since I last dropped in to say hello now but we have just been too busy in the hostels here. Another great summer has come and gone in Dublin and we are now gearing up for the colder winter months again. This means that despite having a wealth of attractions and activities around Dublin, we are also making an extra effort to ensure our guests can be entertained without having to brave the weather outside!

Our BBQ is resilient and continues to draw the crowds with its tempting hook of a (now famously big) Isaacs burger and a beer for €5. We have also been providing free music performances in the hostels, for free, for all the guests. Two weeks ago we even had a 25 piece group from Holland playing in Jacobs as the drinks flowed and everyone got up dancing. Check out our facebook site to see some videos!

So between these, our free nightly movie sessions, free snooker tournaments, free walking tours, and much more we are making sure that our guests don’t feel the chill of the weather, unless they want to!
