The Gentlemen’s Academy was founded in 2011 in Dublin by friends James English and Chewy Chewerson. The pair had become tired of traditional male hangout spots and decided that a new space that combined both learning and socialising was the answer. With that, The Gentlemen’s Academy was born, its goal is to encourage creativity and camaraderie in the modern man, while developing skills both academic and practical. It endeavours to support local, independent business where possible, creating a platform for brands, creatives and thinkers to inspire a generation of like minded men. To date The Gentlemen’s Academy has collaborated with Coppinger Row, Indigo and Cloth, Movember, The Butcher Grill, Ballyvolane House, 3FE, Sheridans Cheese, The Blind Pig Speakeasy,The Wine Buff, Diep Le Shaker, Fallon and Byrne, 37 Dawson Street, Life Drawing Dublin and The Yoga Hub to name a few.
