Your Guide to Hiring Music Venues in Dublin

Whether you are searching for a room that will suit a birthday party with a dance floor, or you are hoping to make a bigger splash with a full blown party and live music, Dublin is sure to satisfy. If you are thinking of a larger event check out some of the city’s clubs - many of which are found near the Liffey in and around Temple Bar, such as The Button Factory. Dublin concert venues are also often available for hire, either partially or as a full venue, The Academy in Camden has several rooms for example. It all depends on the size of your party and the venue capacity. 

Restaurants or music pubs are also a great choice if you are considering a smaller event. They are likely to have function rooms for hire, or even an outdoor garden. Just confirm that they are wired for sound, and if there are any restrictions on playing music. Hotels are also often a good fit, with many varied sized rooms and all the equipment you might need. There are hotels all over the city -- from Broadstone to Ranelagh and beyond. Whatever your needs, Dublin will be sure to satisfy, so start your search today!
