About Whelan's

Whelan's is Dublin's renowned pub and live music venue, often hailed as the city’s original live music venue. Located at 25 Wexford Street, Dublin 2, the venue comprises three distinct spaces — the Main Venue, Upstairs, and The Parlour (a private function room) — plus a dedicated show setup that has welcomed iconic acts like Arctic Monkeys, Kate Nash, Damien Rice, and Ed Sheeran. Since reopening in August 2020 with enhanced safety measures, Whelan's continues to offer an authentic, no-fuss gig experience with a mix of standing and seated configurations depending on the show.

Whether you’re hunting for a big night in the Main Venue or a more intimate session upstairs, we’ve got you covered with seating options, parking tips, transit routes, and nearby stay-and-dine recommendations to make your night easy from start to finish.

Plan your trip around Dublin’s pub-and-mandscape: near Harcourt Luas stop (Green Line) and several bus routes (14, 15, 15A, 24, E1, F1) within a 2–7 minute walk. Street parking is available nearby with typical Dublin restrictions—watch the signage, and consider metered spots on adjacent side streets. Parkopedia can help locate real-time parking options. After the show, unwind nearby at renowned hotels like The Dean Dublin on Harcourt Street or the historic Harcourt Hotel, both within easy walking distance. For a bite before or after a show, explore nearby pubs and eateries that complement the Whelan’s experience. Secure your seats with confidence — we’ve got you covered from booking to the final encore.
