The Royal Bank of Ireland was established in 1836. In 1892, they commissioned William Henry Lynn to design an elaborate facility on College Green. The financial institution merged and became part of the Allied Irish Banks formed in 1996. What they left behind is this phenomenal banking hall. In 2003, it became the Bank Bar and Restaurant. You must walk in, at least order a drink and then savor every elaborate detail of the stain glass dome surrounded by ornate cornicing.
