The venue is a pub so all seating (apart from selected reserved areas) is on a First Come, First Served basis.

The 19th Dublin Gay Film Festival takes place this weekend. These days, it goes by the name Gaze – see what they did there? – and it has a jam-packed cinematic programme for your visual delight.
