Dine like its 1929 is the tagline for Dublin’s Tram cafe, The Tram Cafe is a vintage tram taken by the owner from a field in Co.Cavan and refurbished as a Cafe. This quirky new space also has a large, canopied outdoor seating area where you can sit and watch the world go by with a view of the beautiful vintage tram.
