There's nothing better than trying out a new place right in the heart of the city.

With hotels like The Dean, The Morgan and The Gibson, you'd think we'd be spoilt for choice; but not so, as a new hotel is about to begin construction.

Pub chain, JD Wetherspoon, is opening a hotel in the heart of the city centre.

The hotel will open on Camden Street and the company has just announced that it will open in early 2019.

The chain is set to start construction in February 2018, and when built, it will create 200 new jobs.

JD Wetherspoon bought the Camden Hall Hostel site at the beginning of this year, and planning permission was granted by Dublin City Council in April.

The investment cost the business €15m, but with the site being on one of the busiest nightclub spots in the city, we can see it making a good birra dosh.

Last week it was the LadyBall, and now another marketing ploy has the people of Ireland scratching their heads.

A new ad for an ironing service in Dublin called Iron Mike's is definitely the most enthusiastic – and bizarre – piece of promotion we've seen in a LONG time.

Iron Mike's reportedly opened on Camden St today, and the first ad features a very shouty and muscular man who is apparently a "world class ironer."

Just look at him there, getting all excited about shirts and trousers:

The website is also very flashy indeed (and we mean that literally), making us wonder if it's all a smart marketing promotion for another company.

A few calls by us to the number listed have been unanswered – though we do recommend calling it just to hear the hilarious voicemail featuring 'Mike' singing Joe Esposito's You're The Best Around…

Today would have been the late Amy Winehouse’s 31st birthday, and in her honour, a life-sized statue has been erected in her favourite part of London – Camden Street. The bronze statue was created by Scott Eaton, a London-based sculptor, who wanted to capture Amy’s "attitude and strength, but also give subtle hints of insecurity" in the sculptor.  

Located in Camden’s Stable Market, the statue shows the Back to Black singer with her hand on her hip, grabbing her skirt which the artist sees as “small elements that contribute to the personality of the piece”.

Talking about the statue, Amy’s dad, Mitch said: "It is like stopping her in a beautiful moment in time."

The 27-year-old died three years ago due to accidental alcohol poisoning and her family set up the Amy Winehouse Foundation to “prevent the effects of drug and alcohol misuse on young people”

So if you are heading to London anytime soon, make sure you pop by the statue.

While most of us were still fast asleep at six this morning, hundreds of people were dancing away at Dublin’s first yoga rave.

The idea which was originally launched by a company called Morning Glory in New York – finally found its way to the Yoga Hub on Camden Street this morning.

Even though most raves are associated with a few alcoholic beverages, organisers insisted that attendees had to arrive at the event sober.

The next morning rave is taking place on August 6th at 6.30am.

Well it’s one way to start the day!
