Totally Dublin

Every cultural city needs a magazine like Totally Dublin. A free, independent paper, written and designed by a team of in-​the-​know Dubliners who bust their asses just so we can pick it up at the local shop and have something fun to read while waiting for our pizza or drinking our coffee.
Each issue features interesting interviews, event picks, reviews and travel pieces, music/​culture/​art-​related stuff and plentiful samplings of local flavour and is therefore useful for locals and a fine introduction to Dublin for visitors. Their listings section comes in handy when in the pub with friends who want to check out a gig but don’t know where to go and their website is a great addition to the printed publication with its easy-​to-​use listings calender. If you join their facebook group you’ll get the newest issue in the mail, even before it hits the streets, so you’ll never have to miss out on any Dublin event.
Whether the issues covered fit your areas of interest or not, the staff deserves a big pat on the back for delivering a cool-​looking issue every single month. Hope they’ll manage to keep up the good work for years to come!

Ehm… nahhh
This never really did it for me, i always get the sense that what im reading has been written by secondary school students as part of a Transition year project…
And im not saying that 4^th years arnt capable of excellent journalism. in fact they could probably do a better job that what is usually provided here.
Though saying that there is absolutely no harm in picking up one of these magazine and having a browse through, it wont really cost you anything except for time.
So dont bother with it if you havnt much time left to live… its just a bit shoddy round the already dodgy edges…

I am pretty much obsessed with Totally Dublin, a free monthly newspaper that is chock full of great stuff. The publication is aimed at a hip crowd that goes on often and always wants to know what events are around the corner. It’s been around for 5 years, and I hope it lives to see many more milestones in years to come.
The listings are broken up into categories like live gigs, theatre, weekly clubbing and one-​off clubbing, so you’ll have no trouble finding something cool to do each month. They also have venue, club night and restaurant reviews that are humorous and informative.
While Totally Dublin is essential for finding out what’s going on around the city, it’s also a great read otherwise, with lots of well-​written content, articles, band/​artist interviews and more. The staff is probably young and doesn’t take themselves too seriously, and this is reflected in the style and content, which is funny and interesting. It’s the kind of cultural newspaper that I actually read cover to cover and sometimes even keep (it’s that good!). It’s distributed at businesses around the city and if you spot on, do not hesitate to pick it up!
