A new diner has opened in Dublin city centre offering a unique art, dining and cocktail experience.
The DIG IN Art Diner was created in collaboration with Irish contemporary visual artist Maser.
Co-owners Steve Murray and Colin Dickson said they used the Covid-19 lockdown to invest in bringing the unique "Art Diner" concept to the capital.
DIG IN now houses a remarkable art collection, with rare works from many world-famous post graffiti artists, including Banksy, Chloe Early, Invader and the only original Conor Harrington painting in Ireland.
DIG IN co-owner Steve Murray breaks down what exactly the new diner offers.
He said: "What is an Art Diner? We’ve heard this a lot in the last month. "It tells us we are doing something new. And when you do that there are no reference points. Nothing to compare it against.
"So let us do our best to explain what an Art Diner is: This is the intersection of the most pioneering art out there right now served with great food and drink inspired by the art on the walls.
"DIG IN is the experience when all of those things come together.
"The concept grew during lockdown while researching the future of events and the social experience. During an online conference a quote jumped out: 'Art Always Wins'.
"That was the spark that motivated us that we were on the right path. I called Colin and we started to look at how we could bring our interests and skills together to create something new, something that revolved around an art gallery experience.
"That was also what led to calling Maser to bounce off some ideas, something we have always done over the years, a few days later Maser called us about Atelier Maser curating exhibitions at DIG IN and it seemed like the perfect fit."
DIG IN's current opening hours are 6 days a week. Tues – Friday: 5pm to late. Sat – Sun: 12pm to late.
