A chartered physio's guide to Dublin's live music, compiled between clinic hours and Sunday queues at the Manor Street butcher! These are the gigs and sessions I actually send my patients to when they ask what I'm listening to while doing their home exercises - good for the soul, better than any TENS machine!

Sessions I keep going back to — 9 items
Name	Venue	Neighbourhood	Address	City	My take
1Vicar Street	Vicar Street	The Liberties	58-59 Thomas Street, Dublin 8	Dublin	Seated, intimate, and no elbows in your back - perfect for when the lower back is acting up but you still want a proper night out!
2Whelan's	—	—	—	—	—
3The Cobblestone	The Cobblestone	Smithfield	77 King Street North, Smithfield	Dublin	A ten minute dander from my own front door and still the best cure for a long week on my feet treating other people's dodgy knees!
4National Concert Hall	National Concert Hall	Saint Kevin's	Earlsfort Terrace	Dublin	Good posture required in those seats, which as a physio I can only approve of - bring a cushion if you're there for the long recitals!
53Arena	3Arena	North Wall	East Link Bridge, North Wall Quay, Dublin 1	Dublin	Big arena, big crowds, and inevitably someone standing on your foot - wear the good runners, not the fashion ones!
6The Workman's Club	The Workman's Club	Temple Bar	10 Wellington Quay, Dublin 2	Dublin	Loads of stairs in this one, so maybe not the spot the week after you've tweaked a hamstring, but worth the climb!
7The Button Factory	The Button Factory	Temple Bar	Curved Street, Temple Bar, Dublin 2	Dublin	Great for the newer acts - I've sent more than one patient here to dance out the stiffness instead of doing their stretches, don't tell anyone!
8Walsh's	Walsh's	Stoneybatter	6 Stoneybatter	Dublin	My local-local, five minutes from the clinic - low key sessions and a pint that doesn't cost the earth!
9The Grand Social	The Grand Social	Liffey Street	35 Liffey Street Lower	Dublin	Great rooftop terrace for a breather between sets - handy when you want to save the knees from a full night of standing!
