Brought along some friends to the Dublin Design Night & we really enjoyed it! It was a fantastic way to promote these lovely eclectic shops, and for them to highlight and showcase the best of what they do! We were given a warm welcome and loads of lovely freebies at each stop. Cocktails (The Industry ones were particularly good), flower bulbs, Yelp goodies and a just-made screen print! My personal favourite was Article, which I'm sorry to say I left til last and was nearly closing when I arrived! The staff were still super bubbly and friendly when we arrived in (fair play, surely they must have been wrecked!) and offered us the chance to do our own screen prints to take home, making sure every visitor left with something. Overall I really enjoyed the night & would definitely attend an event like this in future! read more

I had a nice evening! It was lots of fun to make my own terrarium and I got to take home a little plant after making him a cute little home in a mason jar. Over at Article they were showing people how to screenprint, and you got to give it a try! I loved the random guys in red shirts scattered about the city, they were full of energy and really made an effort to get attention from passerby. It may have felt a bit rushed though due to the queues (and things filled up FAST). So I never did get anything drinkable/edible...but I'm not complaining! Thanks for organizing this HUGE event Emily - anything that involves arts and crafts (and being able to do it myself) is always GREAT fun. read more

An excellent event! I've been looking forward to this one for awhile, and it didn't disappoint! Wasn't sure I'd be able to make all of the shops on the night, but nearly did. I had only been to one shop included in the line-up before, so it was great to discover lots of great shops that were all new to me. Plenty of delicious cocktails and even a bite to eat (worth the wait in line at Industry!) in a place I never would have guessed would be doing food. Yes, everywhere was crowded, but it meant Irish businesses and designers were getting some much needed exposure and revenue, so I can't complain about that. Didn't know how the workshops were being arranged so missed out on two I really wanted to do (Flowers at Appasionata and terrarium at The Garden) spots for the entire night were filled up within the first few minutes so we were out of luck! If I would have known they were taking a list at the beginning of the night I would have made a point of getting in on it, but that's ok because there was plenty else to do. Was so happy to get into Article early and try out screen printing with the awesome Clover Rua, so fun to actually have a go at it, and see how they create their beautiful prints. Loved the whole idea behind this event, very well thought out and planned, it was easy to find each shop. Thanks to Yelp, Image Interiors, Emily and everyone else involved, there was so much going on but all ran smoothly, it was a great night and a total success! Would love to see more events like this one. read more

Whoa...this was a very, very popular event, crowds and queues everywhere. It didn't take away from the fun to be had though. We managed to visit most of the shops, and such lovely finds as well...shops I had no clue that were there, or that I knew were there but never stepped foot in as I didn't know what they were selling. I will most definitely go back to jamart and find (both in temple bar) I saw some stuff I really, really liked and wanted! But I will browse in peace at a more quiet time. A few shops provided us with yummie cocktails, and in industry there was even some snack food (amazing meatballs!). I'm a bit sad the workshop for the Appassionata shop was fully booked, as that was actually on top of my list. But other than that: FAB night. Thanks Emily + yelp crew! read more

Fantastic event, brilliantly executed by all involved! We were delighted to get the opportunity to do our own printing in Article Design & ridiculously chuffed with ourselves when we set a trend for people getting the prints sprayed with the Dublin graffiti by the Yelp spray painter! The food & cocktails in Industry set us up nicely for the rest of the whirlwind tour around Dublin's best design stores.. Loved the sneak peak into the work shops in The Irish Design Shop & Indigo & Cloth! Even managed to pick up a couple of gifts in Irish Design! Great night..snuck back to Designist at lunchtime the next day & was still able to use my Yelp discount! #chuffedallround! Thanks Yelp X read more

What an innovative night and oh so well designed for a fun time! (See what I did there, "design" night??) Cringe The cocktails were flowing, the yelpers yelping and freebies at every red balloon, hey what more could you ask for? Such a brilliant way for all our talent to showcase what they've been working on. It gave me the opportunity to check out all the quirky little gems behind shop windows I never enter, I'll definitely be back for some of those cute household items one doesn't realise they in fact need. read more

Really enjoyed my night rambling around these fantastic Design Shops. Well done to Emily and all the Yelp crew ... No easy feat but you organised a great event. Looking forward to the next one! p.s I've tagged lots more photos over on Instagram read more

First off: I loved the idea of discovering creative shops in Dublin. I'm not very often in town and definitely hardly to get ideas for presents or for myself. All the shops involved in the Design Night were new to me. Well, I had heard of three but never went before. I started the night bang on time in find - and that was a great find ;-) I loved that you could spend hours trying to discover every little gem they had there and a lot of them unique. As it was still early I even got a bit of time to chat to the owners - something that always helps to connect to a business.And I got two pieces I loved and bought - so something to remind me of the night. I then met with a friend who first wanted a bite to eat before all the cocktails so by the time we arrived around Drury Street it was jammers there and unfortunatly the workshops in Appasionata were fully book with a long waiting list and the terraniums in the Garden were all gone. A pity but we didn't expect 600 people to take part and by the looks most of them turned out - we might've planned the night differently otherwise. It certainly made especially that area of town pretty crowded - and gave the evening the feel of a festival. So we queued at Industry for the cocktail and meatballs - a pretty long queue at the time but very fast moving. We sat down between the products and enjoyed a second dinner. First I thought the meatballs were a bit bland but after a few bites I really liked them. We managed to get into and look around the six shops in the Drury Street area but were in the end running short of time to get back into the Temple Bar area to those thre shops. I loved the little surprises on street too. Great, happy people helping there. So all in all a very enjoyable night of lovely discoveries - a special treat, just a bit too crowded at times. Well done Emily and everyone involved organising and running the night. I can only try to imagine the amount of work that went into it. Not to mention a very busy and late end to a working day. Overall: A great way to dicover these design shops - it would be great if it could happen again. read more

Although I was only volunteering at Garden and Article I still got to experience all of the enthusiasm as Yelper's went from shop to shop! It was extremely busy and not everyone got to take part in the terrarium transplant training in Garden, however the ladies were still more than happy to walk you through how to be a successful gardener. Article is such a great shop and the overwhelming thought from everyone was "I didn't know this place existed!". The guy doing the prints will probably never want to see a print machine again as he was non stop for three straight hours. Everyone was smiling and the only negative you could say was that there were big crowds. The street performers were also excellent and helped people along the way from shop to shop. Can't wait for next year! read more

This was a fantastic event although unfortunately I didn't get to visit every place on the map. Industry had a long queue when I got there but the staff were lovely and the cocktail and meatballs yum. Was lovely to see some yelpers I knew too. Designist was also super, love the stuff they sell, quite unusual and different. I'll be back as the man says. read more

Blessed with a lovely evening to wander around Dublin - with cocktails to quench our thirst whilst milling around the venues. We were lucky to be early in most of them and avoided the queues which were rather significant later in the evening. Most reviews have covered each venue extensively but what I loved about this event is the discovery of all these fabulous new shops which I have inadvertently walked by without noticing all these years. Yay to new inspiration for all my X'mas shopping in 2 months' time! Yes I went there, oops ;-) read more

Great night! Managed to see a few shops I never visited - and bought a few thing also. Didn't make to all the venues as there was just way to many people. Which is great for the design shops!!! My absolute favourite was apassionata - great workshop and tips around flowers and plants at home - I wish there were more of them (maybe next time?)! My new go-to when it comes to my living room. Thank you Emily & team for organising x read more

This was a fun night, but unfortunately I found myself not feeling great so I left pretty early. However I did check out a few stores include Scout and Amp & Stitch. There I got a little Medieval calligraphy note, which was really cool. The idea behind this event is really cool, and if it happens again next year I'll definitely go. read more

I am sure it was a super popular event yesterday, every place I wanted to go had queues outside. It was great to have some Yelp staff to guide us, I was a bit confused of where to go. I was particularly interested in take part in the terrarium transplant training but it was full... =(. I will check it another day, for sure :) I had a few cocktails and bites and everything was great. It was definitely a huge event and I was super happy with my little plan that I put in a mason jar. It made me fell like I was an artist haha It was a great night, I wish I had remember to register for workshop earlier. Thanks to Yelp and everyone involved! read more

Thoroughly enjoyed Dublin Design Night, definitely my favourite Yelp event so far. Had been looking forward to it for aaaaages and it totally lived up to my hyped expectations :) We started at The Garden, which was very pretty but packed and moved onto Article (my personal favourite of the night!!) There was demonstrations in both stores and we picked up some tealight candle holders in Article. I'll be back for a more thorough viewing of here in the future!! Industry was the perfect pitstop as we got a voucher for a delicious couscous, meatball, almond concoction with a wicked rum cocktail. This was the start of the drinking (unexpected) Think I had 4/5 cocktails, beers, slushy!!! Moving on, while every store that we attended wouldn't have completed my style, I really enjoyed the opportunity to pop into them unselfconsciously. And some I'll certainly return to. Like Jam Art Factory. Madly rushed for time at the very end but we stayed as long as we could for a talk given by one of the stores featured artists. A Donegal giant of a man, wish I could have stayed longer to listen. He was very engaging and his art is wonderfully wry :) Design Night 2, let's be having you haha read more

We had a great time last night and can't wait for the next one. Fab to see so many people out supporting small independent design stores. I got lots a amazing pieces at such reasonable prices. I can't wait to give them all pride of place in my home. Dublin has such a rich aray of wonders to show to the keen shopper if you are willing to look. Go dublin for being funky and independent and long may it last. read more

What an AWESOME night to be a creative Dublin Yelper! The events were well curated and appealed to all varieties of people - Young, mature, male, female, student, professional, etc. I went with a friend to The Garden to start off our night. The terrarium building was over...but I asked that if I bought a planter would they be willing to show me how to build one, and they were kind enough to say yes! Now I have a cute little plant and adorable planter for only 4 EUR. Next, we went to Article where Clover Rua helped us screen print an image of the iconic Dublin doors. Such an easy and interactive workshop! I also managed to finds candle I couldn't live without, and since I checked in to Article, got 10% off, holla! We hit up Industry for cocktails, Apassionista to watch their flower arranging workshop, and Irish Design for the merch. We ended at Jam Art Factory where Jacob Stack chatted about his work and showed us his drawling process and original designs. How cool is that? Meeting an Irish artist who's art is showcased all around Dublin? It was excellent. I would love if this happened every year! My only suggestion is having a clearer time table of when events are going on and how limited they can be. I enjoyed observing the workshops, but it would have been great to participate too! Maybe even signing up online would be helpful? Anyhow, it was stellar all around. read more

My favourite Yelp event to date: I loved the freedom of the night with so many great venues to visit. Although time was tight I managed to make it to six places. Each was great in its own way - I loved meeting the owners and hearing about their concept. The cocktails and treats alone the way made the night extra fun. All I can say is well done Emily and the Yelp team read more

Really loved coming out on a fall night for this! A buzz-y vibe, like-minded design aficionados and lovely treats to boot. While we didn't get to stop at every spot or demo (sometimes due to the queue of popularity!) , I sincerely hope that there are more nights like this- more sit down talks/demos and more places to tuck in along the way to spread out the masses of excited folks on the trail. A massive thank you and congratulations to everyone involved! read more

A great mid week ramble around the capital's city center , plenty of busy crowds gave the night a realy fun atmosphere even if we were in a queue it was for good reason plenty of free cocktails and food to be had ! I can honestly say I never thought I would be flower arranging and also enjoying flower arranging ! but I found myself putting a tray of blooms together at Apassionata on Drury street with my wife and had a blast , we also got to take our arrangements home with us .I will definitely be back next year and recommending it to friends so the shops may have to get the builders in to extend the floor space as I would predict it to be even busier next year !!! read more

Had a fantastic night! Started off the night by making a mini terrarium in The Garden. Next stop was Appassionata to make a gorgeous tray of blooms.

We also stopped off in the Irish Design Shop and Indigo and Cloth. Last stop on the design trail was Find with another delicious cocktail!

It was a brilliant night! Myself and my friend wandered around all the different locations and bought our fair share of 'sure feck it why not' items. Loved the floral arrangement in Apassionata! Got to have a go at screen printing in Article and got to cuddle the friendliest dog, Ray, in Indigo & Cloth. We had gorgeous couscous and meatballs and pomegranate cocktails in Industry, delicious slushy cocktails in Designist, fancy retro cosktails in Find and in the lovely Dublin Design Centre we were treated to Jameson and Ginger ale, all the while being able to have a nose around the workshop and some places I never even knew were there!

We started off Dublin Design Night in The Jam Art Factory in Temple Bar where Illustrator Jacob Stack was chatting about his artwork and thought process. We saw his ideas evolve from his sketch books to the finished print. It's the first time I've seen his artwork and I loved it. Really nice to meet the artist too. Next stop for us was Find in Temple Bar. I love this little shop for its vintage stock and handmade items, it's full of character. I always stop by here on my way down Cows Lane and it was lovely to drop in for a cocktail and a chat with some of the staff. It quickly filled up inside the shop so after spending about 15 minutes here it was time to move on over to Drury Street. The plan was to check out the flower master class in Appassionata Flowers. Unfortunately there was a huge demand so we didn't make the waiting list to be able to make up a vase but we did get to stand by and watch. We also checked out the beautiful arrangements inside the store for inspiration. We then headed over to Article in Powerscourt Townhouse Centre for a quick go at screen printing our very own Clover Rua Georgian door print we were able to take home too. We really enjoyed this. It was a nice little keepsake from the night. Their products are beautiful and its great to see a new Irish brand being stocked in Article. We finished off the evening in Industry & The Irish Design Shop on Drury St. We missed out on the grub and drinks in Industry unfortunately , we were told they were delicious , but its a spot I shop in regularly so next time I intend to taste their salads. It was a good evening checking out each shop but unfortunately we ran out of time and missed out on a couple of spots. I'd do it again if it was to return. Thank you Yelp and Image Interiors. read more

Loved this event. It was like all my favourite shops in Dublin got together and decided to have a party! We learned how to make terrariums at the Garden shop in powerscourt and take part in a wonderful screen print demo in Article. It was obviously a very popular event and just seemed to get busier as the night went on. Looking forward to the next one! read more

I enjoyed this night to be honest but i was expecting something different than just showcasing the stores. I was hoping the stores would be more involved and more activities were done. I also though the amount of people were a lot which made it very hard to enjoy some stores and do some the stuff. All in all, i think it is a very promising idea and could be amazing next time. I think also showing small local designers and give them a bigger platform would be a wonderful idea read more

Industry just my favourite spot! The food is was delicious as usual! A free beer, always a good idea!

I missed the terrarium workshop, which is what I really came for. But I got a cool screen print of a door, which I immediately gave my to mother. She repaid the gift with a nice dinner. Everybody wins. read more

It looked great! Sadly there was not at room left and thru suggested I came back later but after a 9 hour work day I had to pass. I was so excited about this event so it was a little disappointing that they didn't have room for one person, especially because they let someone in right after me that had just arrived as well. Hope everyone has fun! read more
