    Been here three times and every time found a new room/floor to explore. It already became my favourite bar the first time I was there. Must visit if you are into rock!

    Whelan's is probably the best small music venue in Dublin. You can find local and international acts playing there every night. And you might just meet your future wife or husband there.

    great for music any day. bigger acts sell out in a flash, but they also have regular small bands gigs.

    Whelan's was always overrated. Pack them in. Charge €10 entry (even if you're only going to the bar part)
