Whatever your format, the right venue is already waiting. Just scroll.
The Sound House in Dublin City Centre is a solid pick for small gigs and comedy nights. It has a variety of setups and is already well known for its in-house tech setup.
Craic Den Comedy Club, located in Temple Bar, is another great choice for stand-up shows and intimate sets — ready-to-go seating, stage lighting, and central footfall all work in its favour.
Want something with character? Lab8 Speakeasy at Stillgarden Distillery has a versatile layout that can be set up theatre style for comedy gigs, readings, and so on.
EPIC & CHQ can handle bigger productions, particularly in their larger halls. The space is well equipped and has hosted everything from corporate launches to cultural showcases.
For a nightlife-forward option, Dtwo Night Club works for DJ-led or dance-driven events, and its central location makes it easy for guests to find.
Radisson Blu Hotel at Dublin Airport also has versatile suites with large seating capacities and pro AV support, which works well for corporate theatre, large talks, or recitals with a wider audience.
If you’re planning a weekend event or aiming for a high-demand location like Temple Bar or the city centre, aim to book 6–8 weeks in advance. For large-scale events you’ll need more lead time — closer to 3 months, especially during festival season. Smaller spots can sometimes be booked with less notice, but they go fast for Friday and Saturday nights.
