*Your Monthly Monday Social* **Dublin deserves more Quality Time—and a lot more play 🎲💜** Mondays are officially getting a makeover. We’ve teamed up with the stunning **Ruby Molly Hotel** to bring you **"Game On,"** a monthly residency dedicated to the joy of board games, card games, and genuine human connection. Forget the Monday blues and the boredom. We’re transforming this boutique space into a cosy, quality gaming lounge where the only "player" you need to be is yourself. *** ✨ The Quality Time Experience: Whether you’re a strategic mastermind or just looking for a laugh over a simple card game, we’ve curated an evening that takes the "awkward" out of meeting new people. * **🃏 Curated Play:** We provide a selection of classic board games, modern favourites, and card-based games. * **🤝 Built-in Community:** Our keepers (Maja & Lexie) are on hand to help facilitate games and introduce you to new friends. You never have to worry about "finding a seat"—we make sure everyone is part of the game. * **💜 Pure Presence:** Phones are tucked away so you can focus on the cards in your hand and the people across the table. * **🍸 Boutique Vibes:** Enjoy the stylish, relaxed atmosphere of the Ruby Molly with a cocktail or coffee in hand. *** 🕰️ The Schedule: * **18:30 – 19:00 \| The Warm\-Up:** Arrive, grab a drink, and settle in. We’ll help pair you up with a game and a group. * **19:00 – 21:00 \| Game On:** Two hours of uninterrupted play and social time. Switch tables, try a new game, or stick with your crew! * **21:00 – 21:30 \| The Cool Down:** Wrap up the final rounds and enjoy some relaxed conversation before heading home recharged. *** 📍 The Details: * **When:** Every 3rd Monday of the month. * **Where:** Ruby Molly Hotel. * **Tickets:** Free! * **Support the Venue:** The Ruby Molly is a no-cash hotel. Please support our hosts by enjoying their bar and snack menu! 💳 *** 🐥 Who is this for? * **Solo Adventurers:** Most people come alone! We are experts at making you feel welcome and getting you into a game immediately. * **Friends & Partners:** Bring a "plus one" for some quality time outside the house. * **Everyone:** From Jenga pros to Uno beginners—all levels (and ages) of "gamer" are welcome. *** **Dublin deserves more Quality Time.** Let’s play! **Love, Maja & Lexie** 🦄🦆🎲 *(The Quality Time Team)*

**Do you like to make things? Would you like to use 3D software, lasercutter and 3D printing to help you make your idea?** TOG has an open evening to learn how CAD software and 3D fabrication tools can help you make your project. All you need to take part is your own laptop and some ideas on what you want to make. This is not a taught class, more like an informal working group of self-directed makers. We will be happy to help you explore how to use our 3D tools in designing and making your project whether you are a crafter, designer, engineer or hobbyist. Come and have a look at the tools in our space and get some ideas on how your project can be made.

TOG Watch Night: The Secret Life of Components (Tim Hunkin) We’re kicking off a new bi-weekly Monday Watch Night at TOG. We’ll watch an episode of Tim Hunkin’s “The Secret Life of Components” together, then have a relaxed Q&A and discussion afterwards.

Perfect for beginners, makers, repair folks, and engineers who enjoy the practical side of components and mechanisms. How it works \- Watch together \(one episode per night\) \- Q&A and chat after: questions\, examples\, tangents\, and “how would we do this at TOG?” \- If you miss a week\, no stress\. Watch it at home and come along to the next one First session \- Monday 26 January \- Episode 1: Chain \- Free and open to all \- TOG Hackerspace \(Dublin 12\, D12 CF6V\) Full details: https://www.tog.ie/2026/01/tog-watch-night-the-secret-life-of-components-tim-hunkin/

Come along to get rid of the number one fear people have. Every week we have new members and people starting from scratch so you will not be alone. Everything is based around what you're comfortable with and you don't have to stand up, talk or do anything if you don't feel like it. But you will have the opportunity to speak at least 4/5 times a night. You can come along to see what we're doing and take part if you like. We will be running this for beginners every week and anyone is welcome to join us to learn and get better together. Hope to see you there :D We charge €5 to help towards the room rental.

I heard a vicious rumour that we are over half way through May, and two-thirds of the way through Spring, meaning Summer is around the corner - Damn long corner at this rate! Well, whatever the weather may be doing on Wednesday evening, we will be running as usual and enjoying a beverage, likely alcoholic, where we finish, at **Rody Bolands in Rathmines**. Everyone is always welcome to come along. For newcomers, our Group Runs are great fun, safe for all, and once the run is complete, we can share a beer, have a good chat, make new friends, and look forward to the following week. The route map is here - https://www.mappedometer.com/?maproute=902615 Regards, Liam

Step into a high-energy electronic dance session designed to shift your mood and leave you feeling clear, light & recharged. Alcohol-free. Dance your Sunday afternoon away at ESPRESSO RAVE — a high-energy daytime dance session with electronic music and great vibes, downstairs in Wigwam. And yes — you’ll still be home in time for Sunday dinner. Profits from ticket sales will go to My Lovely Horse Rescue, because we love the work they do and want to help 🐴✨ ### **Why Dance?** Dancing isn’t just fun — it’s genuinely good for you. Music and movement together help release endorphins and dopamine, natural chemicals that boost mood and reduce stress. Moving in rhythm with others can also increase feelings of connection and belonging. It’s one of the simplest ways to clear your head, lift your energy, and reconnect with your body. Coffee and cake will be served upstairs — we keep the dancefloor for dancing. **Tickets 15 euro for one and two for 25 euro available** [dancespace.ie ](dancespace.ie) ### **Espresso Rave** Wake up your Sunday. Dance it out. Go home glowing with a total reset for the week ahead. Follow: @dancespacedublin ### **Learn more about www.mylovelyhorserescue.com**

Come hang out to shop, sip + stroll through [Old Worthington](http://www.experienceworthington.com/)\- an outdoor event along the sidewalks of High St to kickoff the summer shopping season\. The shops will be open late\, store fronts will be decorated and people will be out on the town ready to start spreading warm weather cheer\!\! **START**: (6pm and earlier) at Graeters Ice Cream shop in the heart of it all. **NEXT**: about 6:15pm, we'll take a stroll and shop merch and homemade food tents. I'd love to introduce you to a new cafe, [Joyas](https://www.eatatjoyas.com/), along the stroll! (It will be too busy for us all to sit and eat so I'd recommend ordering to go) **FINALLY**: about 7pm, we'll settle in at House Wine (next to Graeters) for wine sampling and to enjoy our fresh eats! **PARKING**: Free Public Parking behind House Wine, behind Joyas and street parking.

**Welcome to Drunken Philosophy** a casual, curious social discussion **Optional topic for this meetup: What's up with all the AI hate?** A recent survey found that 74% of Americans have a negative view of AI, and I want to know why. Come out and debate whether AI is good or bad. My hot take: a labor-saving tool that could potentially help cure cancer gets called dangerous because it might raise unemployment or cause a speculative investment bubble, that tells you a lot more about capitalism and the economic system we live under than it does about the tool itself. As a computer programmer, I think AI is a wonderful tool that has increased my productivity by at least an order of magnitude. I'd go so far as to say Claude Code is the best tool I have ever used. Debate me and name a better one. Is AI potentially dangerous? Yes, but so are a lot of tools. Chainsaws. Steam engines (early ones would occasionally explode and kill everyone in the room). Do you think cavemen sat around debating whether fire could be used as a weapon or for self-harm, and decided not to discover it? I have two friends who hate AI for opposite reasons: one thinks it's a fad and not useful, and the other thinks it's going to take over everything and cause human extinction. Come out tonight, have a friendly debate, and make some friends. No lectures. Friendly crowd. Drop in for one drink and stay if it's fun.
