Set at 25 Wexford St, Dublin 2, D02 H527, Whelan’s has been a heartbeat of Ireland’s live scene since 1989. The storied venue pairs a roughly 450-capacity main room with the cosy Whelan’s Upstairs, delivering intimate, up-close shows with warm acoustics and clear sightlines. Its wood-lined bars and late-night energy make pre-show pints and post-gig chats part of the experience.
From indie and rock to folk, trad and singer-songwriter nights, the calendar runs seven days a week. Breakout moments have unfolded here for Glen Hansard and The Frames, Damien Rice, Hozier and Fontaines D.C., and Ed Sheeran recorded his Live at Whelan’s special on this stage. The venue also features in the film P.S. I Love You. Expect discovery too: Whelan’s Ones to Watch festival spotlights emerging Irish talent, the Midnight Hour brings free late sets, and Cherry Comedy turns the upstairs room into a weekly stand-up workshop for rising comics and surprise guests. All of it sits a short stroll from the city centre with easy public transport access.
