First Floor
The Lounge
Seventy guests. An open terrace. A week full of life.
The space
For every occasion
The first floor holds up to seventy guests — a full venue for private parties at weekends, and a free events space during the week. Candle-lit, fully heated, with a music system and multiple TVs for screening sport.
Walk through to the open terrace and you’re looking down over the beer garden below — four or five terrace settings, a view across Phibsborough, and Dublin evening light if the weather holds.
Clay Indian Restaurant operates from the Lounge every Wednesday through Monday, 4pm to 9pm. On Tuesdays, the kitchen closes and local musicians set up for a free traditional session — anyone is welcome to join in.
Every second Thursday of the month the Lounge hosts a free Jazz Night — live local musicians and singers in an intimate setting. Indian and bar food are served until 9pm. It’s Phibsborough’s best-kept secret: come to listen, or join in with the friendly crowd.
