The Voodoo Lounge, Music venue in Arran Quay, Dublin, Ireland.
The Voodoo Lounge is a small music venue on Arran Quay in central Dublin, hosting live concerts across rock, metal, punk, and dance. The stage and standing area are close together, keeping the distance between performers and the crowd very short.
The Voodoo Lounge was opened in the early 2000s by Dermot Doran and Kieran Finnerty as a live music space. After a period operating as a poker tournament venue, it returned to live music in 2013.
The Voodoo Lounge draws a loyal crowd of rock, metal, and punk fans who return regularly for touring and local acts. The setting feels unpretentious and direct, without the distance you find in bigger venues.
The venue is centrally located in Dublin and easy to reach on foot from the city center. The entrance is wheelchair accessible, but because the space is small, arriving early helps you find a good spot near the stage.
Before returning to live music in 2013, the space ran as a dedicated poker tournament hall for several years. This shift from card tables to a concert stage is an unusual chapter in Dublin's venue history.
