To get in for free get there before 11 (I think), you can drink away in the front bar and listen to some great music, when the gig that is on in the back is finished you can head in there to let loose and dance until 3am(ish)! It's one of the best gig venues in dublin also, worth checking out who is playing when you're around.close

Famous for great live music they serve a niche often overlooked. theres usually a small cover charge, depending on the band and its a great place to showcase new Irish talent. See if you can spot the next Van Morrisson, U2, Thin Lizzy or Westlife... actually, we're not as proud of that last one. The last gig I was at in Whelans was The Frank & Walters ... Think it was about €15..close
