Hi and thanks for your input,
I thought about making it a place of worhsip, however  nobody is being
worshiped there (people esp. in non-Muslim countries may pray the
congregational prayer there, but it's not what husainiyas are intended to).
It's more of a place where speeches and lectures are given.

throughout_the_year: around the Islamic year, there are a lot of events
such as births and deaths of Ahlul bayt (household of the prophet,
consisting mainly of 14 persons), so throughout the year means that the
husainiya commemorates such events and hence is open for the whole year in
each event.

The problem with service times and opening hours is that even if a
husainiya opens in Muharram only for example, it does not necessarily mean
that it will be closed for the rest of year; for example several people set
their condolence acceptance in husainiyas (condolence acceptance is when
people come to the family of the deceased to give their condolences). So
Muharram and Weekly tags imply that the husainiya runs their speeches and
activities on that times, but does not necessarily mean it would closed for
the rest of the time.
