A popular Dublin Airport restaurant has announced it is set to temporarily close from Saturday night until next year.
The Garden Terrace, a hotspot for jet setters travelling from Terminal 1, will close from Saturday night for refurbishment, the airport announced in a Facebook post on Friday.
“Passenger notice‼️ The Garden Terrace in T1 will close for refurbishment from tomorrow night (Saturday)," the post began.
As to when it will re-open, they stated: “The popular outlet will be back open - better than ever - in Q1 2025!”
For those seeking their 'traditional' pre-flight pint or final smoke, there is still good news.
"In the meantime, the external garden and bar will remain open, serving hot & cold drinks," they confirmed.
