While some organised Oisins might have already planned the Christmas staff party months ago, chances are that you'll only have started to think about yours, especially if it's a smaller team.
Finger food and drinks in the local is grand 'n all, but don't you want to have a seriously slick party this year?
You'll still be making a fool out of yourself to your boss and chugging back shots with your new-found mate from Accounts, but head to one of these more unusual places, and at least you'll be doing it in style.
Allta
If you're looking for an unusual venue for your Christmas party, why not consider the fifth floor of the Trinity Street car park? Incredible food cooked over an open fire and served in a convivial style, in the surprisingly chic surrounds of a city centre parking lot, to use an Americanism. One to remember, for sure.

Christmas movie at the Stella
Everyone wants to go to the Stella, but most of us want to wait til there's a really special, possibly nostalgic film on to make the most of the experience. And who among us doesn't love a classic Christmas movie? Keep an eye on the Stella's Christmas listings this festive season, and treat your staff to a luxurious night out.

Chai Yo
Don't just go to an ordinary restaurant where they serve stuff neatly on plates, instead book into the
Teppanyaki spot on Baggot Street and let them entertain you by doing impressive flips and tricks with your dinner as they cook it.

Roller Rink
Who doesn't want to see their boss desperately attempt to keep their balance on a pair of skates? Have a bitta craic and a boogey on the roller rink at D12, then head onto Rascal's Brewery just minutes away for pizza and pints. The dream night, tbh.
