Alternative private space hire for celebration?

Hi all,

Does anyone know of a closed down restaurant, warehouse space, a private venue that Ive somehow missed, your Great Aunties holiday house, a fantastic but derelict old hall, a hidden gem owned by the local scout troop, that would be available August/ September/ October 2009?

This is exactly what I am looking for:

A venue for a small celebration for approximately 30 guests.
Not a hotel.
I want to hire the venue privately and have it for the whole night (a lot of venues have a rule of the guest having to leave by 12 or 1am).
Ideally I would like some type of courtyard aswell or maybe a large balcony.
We would bring in our own caterers and stock the bar ourselves. Dont mind at all if it is a warehouse and we have to hire tables, the bar etc.
Preferably in Dublin, the closer to the city centre the better.

Any suggestions would be gratefully received!

Thank you in advance,

Kassie

I came across this site recently, would this be an option?

I don’t know anything about it other than what the website says.

A lighthouse from the Irish Landmark Trust might be an option.

Dunno if this would be any good, but I've read somewhere that it's supposed to be beautiful

I second this one, absolutley. I was at a wedding there a couple of years ago and it was very good. Very central, suited everyone, and the place has class and atmosphere.
