Basically my life savings go here lads, one ticket at a time e28c a0 e28c a0 i'm meant to be studying for anatomy but sure a gig is basically stress relief right?? These are the spots around town i'd drag anyone to for a night out or just to catch a session, from the big arena to the tiny back room with the good trad. Rathmines to town is like a 20 min walk so no excuses e280bc a0 i'm always in

Grand ould gigs list — 9 items
Name	Venue	Area	My take
1Whelan's	Whelan's, 25 Wexford Street, Dublin 2	Wexford Street	The classic. Seen some savage gigs here and the sound is always deadly, small enough you feel part of it
2Vicar Street	Vicar Street, 58-59 Thomas Street, Dublin 8	Thomas Street	Bit of a trek from Rathmines but worth it, the tiered seating means even a small fella like me can see grand
3The Workman's Club	The Workman's Club, 10 Wellington Quay, Dublin 2	Temple Bar	Multiple rooms so you can hop between a band and a DJ set, dangerous for the wallet on a student budget
4The Grand Social	The Grand Social, 35 Liffey Street Lower, Dublin 1	Liffey Street	Love the balcony for people watching mid gig, great for the weird and wonderful club nights too
5The Cobblestone	The Cobblestone, 77 King Street North, Smithfield, Dublin 7	Smithfield	Proper trad session pub, no fuss no frills, just class musicians in the corner and pints going round
63Arena	3Arena, North Wall Quay, Dublin 1	North Wall Quay	Splash out once a year here for the big acts, always leaves me broke but never regretful, deadly atmosphere
7The Button Factory	The Button Factory, Curved Street, Temple Bar, Dublin 2	Temple Bar	Solid midsize spot for up and coming acts, sweaty in the best way when it gets busy
8The Sugar Club	The Sugar Club, 8 Lower Leeson Street, Dublin 2	Leeson Street	Fancy little cinema style seats which is class craic when your legs are wrecked from a day on the wards
