Street 66, Bar in Temple Bar, Dublin, Ireland
Street 66 occupies a retail building on Parliament Street in the heart of Temple Bar, featuring a layout divided into a Disco Lounge and a Dive Bar with upcycled furniture and street art, creating a relaxed environment for socializing over cocktails and spirits.
Originally operating as the Front Lounge since the mid-1990s, this venue served as a gathering place for Dublin's LGBTQ community after the closure of The Parliament bar, and underwent rebranding to Street 66 following recent refurbishment work.
The establishment has maintained its reputation as a welcoming space for the LGBTQ community while hosting live music performances featuring jazz, soul, and reggae acts, reflecting Dublin's evolving nightlife scene and commitment to inclusive social spaces.
The bar opens at 1:00 PM (1300) on weekends and 3:00 PM (1500) on weekdays, staying open until 11:30 PM (2330) most nights and extending to 2:30 AM (0230) on Fridays and Saturdays, with limited wheelchair accessibility due to historic building features.
Despite discussions about changes in identity following its rebranding, the venue continues to play Erasure music and screens The Birdcage, maintaining references to its roots while attempting to balance broader appeal with its historic role in Dublin's LGBTQ culture.

Ireland's pubs have served as gathering places for traditional music for generations, preserving a living tradition that continues in rooms where musicians still tune their fiddles, tin whistles, accordions, and bodhrán drums. These establishments range from converted 17th-century cottages with thatched roofs to Victorian-era taverns with original woodwork, each maintaining the practice of regular sessions where locals and visitors alike can hear the music passed down through centuries. Across the country, from Belfast's Kelly's Cellars, operating since 1720, to Galway's Tigh Neachtain in the medieval quarter, these venues host musicians who gather weekly or nightly to play together. Some, like Leo's Tavern in Donegal, have direct connections to internationally known artists, while others, such as Clarke & Sons in Drogheda, have remained in the same family for over a century. Whether in Dublin's Temple Bar with its daily performances starting at noon, or in smaller establishments like O'Loclainn's in Ballyvaughan where weekend sessions accompany a collection of 500 Irish whiskeys, these pubs offer direct access to Ireland's musical heritage in settings that have changed little over the decades.
