Whelan's Bar Ltd

Whelan’s Bar Limited is a cornerstone of Dublin’s live‑music scene, offering a vibrant bar, multiple performance spaces and a dedicated private‑function venue. Open from 5 pm until late, seven nights a week, the bar provides the ideal setting for a pre‑gig drink or a relaxed catch‑up with friends, while the Front Bar welcomes patrons for a pint without the need for tickets.

The venue’s three live‑music spaces – the Main Venue, Upstairs and Little Whelan’s – host an eclectic programme ranging from emerging indie acts to internationally‑renowned legends, with shows running every night of the week. In addition, the Parlour Bar can be booked for private parties, launches and other events, offering a separate bar and smoking area for a bespoke experience. A weekly Indie Club and classic karaoke night further diversify the entertainment offering.

Based in Dublin 2, Whelan’s has been at the heart of the city’s musical DNA for over 30 years, catering to music lovers, socialisers and event organisers who seek a lively, welcoming atmosphere paired with world‑class live performances.
