Gaelic Theatre, Performance venue in Surry Hills, Sydney, Australia.
The Gaelic Theatre occupies the ground floor of INA House and holds around 800 seats for concerts and theatrical performances. The building spans multiple levels, with the Gaelic Club located above on the first floor.
The building was constructed in 1957 by the Irish National Association of Australasia as a community space. It was converted into a theatre in 2002 to host performances and events.
The name comes from the Gaelic Club, the first-floor social club of the Irish National Association of Australasia, which built the hall in 1957 for Sydney's Irish community. The ground floor became a separate venue in 2006, and the theatre kept the Gaelic name.
The venue sits near Central Railway Station on Devonshire Street, making it easy to reach by public transport. Its central location allows visitors to explore the surrounding Surry Hills area before or after attending a show.
The venue has hosted notable acts like The Strokes and Maroon 5 and received recognition as New South Wales' Best Live Music Venue in 2007. This award highlights its importance within Australia's music landscape.
