About The Grand Social

The Grand Social is a multi-room venue located at 35 Lower Liffey Street, Dublin 1, Ireland. Since opening in 2010, it has hosted a diverse mix of local and international acts across its three distinct spaces: the Main Venue, the Ballroom, and the Rooftop Terrace. With a current configuration that supports intimate, high-energy performances, The Grand Social remains a staple in Dublin’s live music scene. Whether you’re planning a night of headline acts or a more intimate set, we’ve got you covered with clear seating options, dependable directions, and handpicked affiliate recommendations for stays and dining nearby.

Venue details and layout are designed to help you secure your seats with ease. Interactive 3D floor plans and setup charts are available through venue resources to guide your experience, and we provide practical information on parking, transit, and nearby accommodations to streamline your visit. The Grand Social continues to adapt and grow, maintaining its place as a reliable stop for Dublin’s music lovers.

Three spaces, one great night out. The Main Venue seats up to 300 guests, the Ballroom offers approximately 170 seats (up to 200 per official figures), and both spaces share the same ethos: straightforward, dependable ticketing with an emphasis on accessibility and comfort. For getting there, Fleet Street Car Park is the closest parking option, while public transit options include the Jervis Luas stop and multiple bus lines (11, 15B, 16, 27, 39A, E1, G2). When you plan your stay, consider nearby hotels like Temple Bar Inn and The Morgan Hotel on Fleet Street, Temple Bar Hotel in the Fleet Street area, and RIU Plaza The Gresham Dublin on Upper O’Connell Street for convenient accommodations. For dining before or after the show, there are several reputable spots in Temple Bar and the surrounding streets that offer great options for a pre-show meal or post-show drinks. We work with trusted affiliates to help you secure quality hotel stays and restaurant reservations to complement your visit to The Grand Social.

Recent history notes that the venue opened in 2010 and has hosted a range of artists from Primal Scream to Jake Bugg and Damien Dempsey. The Ballroom underwent a revamp around 2025, refining capacity to about 170 seats while preserving the venue’s intimate atmosphere. No demolition or permanent changes have altered the venue’s core operation, and The Grand Social continues to be a reliable, friendly option for live music in Dublin.
