There's no doubt 2017 will go down in history as the year the humble G&T was reborn – and you won't see us complaining.

Bars across the country have played a huge part in Ireland's gin renaissance, with many putting their own twist on the classic drink.

Whether its an elder flower tonic or a sprig of fresh mint, every gin lover knows exactly what it takes to make their perfect G&T, and nows there's an event to celebrate this delicate art form.

This Thursday, June 29, The Headline Bar and Ha'Penny Gin are offering their customers the ultimate gin experience, complete with Ireland's first live botanical wall.

Those attending the event will be able to customise their G&T with whatever combination of fresh herbs their heart desires, before choosing a fruity garnish at the citrus area.

And as if that wasn't enough, attendees will then indulge in some glorious G&T cupcakes from the Cupcake Bloke and cheese boards.

Gin, good. Cupcakes, good. Cheese, good!

Tickets are free and are available to download through the event page.  

Cheers!

It's the end of the month and we're all feeling the pinch in the run-up to pay day. 

However, that doesn't mean you have to hole yourself up on the couch every night eating whatever remains in the fridge. 

There are plenty of delightful, cheap or free things to try in Dublin, and here are a few of our faves: 

1. Cherry Comedy – €5.00

Cherry Comedy brings the laugher to Whelans every Monday night. 

For a very reasonable €5.00, comedy fans are treated to a line-up of both new and seasoned comedians.

Just last night, both Neil Delamere and Foil, Arms and Hog took to the stage as secret guests at the show. And did we mention that gin and tonics are only €5.00 too?

2. Bubble Waffles at Eatyard €4.50

As if delicious confectionery wasn't enough to get you down to Eatyard, the Instagram opportunities from the Bubble Waffle Factory should seal the deal. 

A bubble waffle, for those not in the know, is a delectable dessert inspired by the street food of Hong Kong.

The factory describe themselves as creating 'a bubble waffle, filled with ice cream, fruit, sprinkles, and any topping you can dream of, all so it looks like a cone.' We're so ready for dessert before dinner…

3. The Botanic Gardens – Free

If you feel like getting lost in the beauty of nature, The National Botanic Gardens of Ireland is the place to be. 

If sprawling acres of beautful flower beds wasn't enough, the labyrinth of glasshouses is enough to keep any budding botanist enthralled for hours. 

Check out the Palm House for truly breathtaking plants you won't see anywhere else in Ireland. And the little cactus room? We could stay there forever. 

4. Aungier Danger – €3.00

Aungier Danger has become a Dublin institution. 

The store creates some of the fluffiest, most delicious pastries, many of which have a great cause behind them such as raising awareness for homelessness or abortion rights. 

Aungier Danger has a few locations dotted around Dublin, so find your closest one and get munching. We recommend the Very Berry or the Alice In Dangerland.

5. Women Should Be Both Seen & Heard – Free

Feel like brushing up on your feminist theory and gender equality knowledge for free?

Head down to Trinity College for the third in  a series of seminars for women and other under-represented groups, including non-binary folks, in research and academia.

The talk will focus on women making waves in the academic world, and Angela Mezzetti will lead the seminar. 

It's free, but you have to register here.

Pride month is in full swing and with so many events due to take place across the capital this weekend, this year's festivities are not to be missed.

Dublin's Pride festival has been running since Friday June 16 and will come to an end this Saturday when thousands of people take to the city streets for the annual Pride parade.

Here's a run down of what you can expect over the weekend.

Friday June 23

Start as you mean to go on, isn't that how the saying goes?

The night before the main event, George performer, Veda Lady, will host a pride warm up show at Street 66, Parliament Street, Dublin 2.

Joined on stage by Pixie Woo, the pair will be entertaining audiences with a host of 80's classics from 9:00pm.

Admission is free, but make sure you get there early and nap yourself a table before the crowds descend.

Saturday June 24

The theme for this year's parade is 'find your inner hero', so expect to hear a lot of dodgey Mariah Carey covers belted out across the streets of Dublin.

The pre-parade rally kicks off at 12:00pm in St. Stephen's green with drag performances and speeches from David Norris and BelongTo executive director, Moninne Griffith (this year's Grand Marshal).

Taoiseach Leo Varakdar is also planning to march along the parade route with Fine Gael LBGT.

The main event starts at 2:00pm – setting off from St. Stephen's Green and heading toward Smithfield, Dublin 7.

An official after party, hosted by Panti Bliss, will be held in Smithfield square from 1:00pm to 7:00pm.

There will be food stalls, a family playground and an official Pride pop-up shop, along with performances from Niamh Kavanagh and Brian Kennedy.

But the party doesn't stop there.

Of course pubs and clubs across the city centre will be packed with parade goers, but bars like Pantibar, The George and Mother are all hosting their very own Pride parties.

Sunday June 25

For those of you brave enough to venture outside on Sunday, Street 66 Parliament Street are hosting some acoustic sessions from 5:00pm.

As well as that, Shirley Temple Bar's Pride Bingo will take its usual slot in The George this Sunday night from 9:00pm.

If you loved the harrowing and haunting novel Room, you're in for a treat. 

Emma Donoghue’s international best selling novel has been adapted into new stage show. 

The Abbey Theatre and Theatre Royal Stratford East co-production will be in the Abbey Theatre in Dublin this month. 

The film adaption won Academy Awards, Golden Globes and BAFTAs, and the theatre version of the novel has received critical acclaim. 

'Kidnapped as a teenage girl, Ma has been locked inside a purpose built room in her captor’s garden for seven years,' reads the theatre description of the play. 

'Her five year old son, Jack, has no concept of the world outside and happily exists inside Room with the help of Ma’s games and his vivid imagination where objects like Rug, Lamp and TV are his only friends.'

'But for Ma the time has come to escape and face their biggest challenge to date: the world outside Room.'

The show is running from June 23 to July 22, and tickets are still available, so get booking!

We'll be honest, when it comes to Afternoon Tea, we rarely think to invite our long-suffering fathers to the occasion.

And whether that's something to do with them constantly telling us that 'it's far from Afternoon Tea we were reared', we'd rather not say, but the fact remains; our dads don't get a look-in.

Well, until now, that is.

With Father's Day on the horizon, The Morrison has launched Afternoon Tea… with a twist.

The Gentlemen’s Afternoon Tea is a hearty feast of steak sandwiches, beef sliders, smoked rasher scones and whiskey chocolate truffles that can be washed down with a refreshing pint of Wicklow Wolf.

Whether it’s the Gentleman’s Tea for Two, or paired with a serving of the Fancy Pants Afternoon Tea – the city-centre hotel is only dying to help us treat our dads this Sunday.

And with the sheer amount worrying they do about us and our notions, we're more than willing to splash €50 and honour that pop of ours.
