EPIC - The CHQ Building

The chq Building
The iconic chq building is one of the finest pieces of 19th century architecture in Ireland. Originally built as a tobacco store with wine vaults underneath, it has played host to some memorable events throughout history, dating as far back as the legendary Crimean Banquet in 1856, one of the most talked-about events of its time.

The Galleria - If you want to make your mark, The Galleria is the perfect place to put on a show. The scene is set with a remarkable modern glass façade overlooking the river, designed by the renowned Irish engineer Peter Rice. With its soaring ceilings, exposed brickwork and dramatic views over the River Liffey, it’s a real showstopper.

From networking events and presentations to awards ceremonies, festivals and product launches, you can count on The Galleria to create impact. It can host up to 500 guests and can be transformed to incorporate your chosen theme or corporate image. It always delivers the “wow” factor.
