Dublin's iconic Stella cinema is opening again next week, and it's gotten a super glam makeover
ONE OF THE most iconic old buildings in Dublin is the Stella cinema in Rathmines, which first opened its doors in 1923.
The cinema closed in 2004 and lay dormant until 2015, when it was put up for sale for €1.75m – the team behind The Liquor Rooms, Vintage Cocktail Club and The Dean Hotel bought it earlier this year, promising to return it to its former glory.
