INFO

Hen's Teeth, located at Blackpitts, Dublin 8 (D08 A9FD), has established itself as one of Dublin's most innovative and eclectic venues, seamlessly blending the worlds of art, music, food, and nightlife culture. Originally founded in 2015 as an online gallery and creative studio, Hen's Teeth evolved with the opening of its multi-purpose physical space in 2019, encompassing a gallery, café, restaurant, and an intimate nightclub. Set in the heart of The Liberties, an area historically celebrated for its creative community and rich cultural tapestry, Hen's Teeth quickly cemented its reputation as a hotspot for boundary-pushing events and a beacon for Dublin’s contemporary arts scene.
The venue is renowned for its immersive approach to nightlife, hosting a diverse mix of events that include DJ nights, live music, visual art installations, and culinary pop-ups. Unlike traditional nightclubs, Hen's Teeth is lauded for fostering close interaction between artists and audiences, contributing to its standing as a vital incubator for new ideas and collaborations in the city. Its reputation has grown both locally and internationally, frequently highlighted in travel guides and music publications for its unique blend of cutting-edge art and music culture.
While the core venue has remained in its current Blackpitts location, the space itself has undergone periodic transformations—retaining its distinctive, industrial-chic character while expanding to accommodate larger events and pop-up collaborations. The adaptability of the space is a significant part of its enduring appeal, allowing it to host everything from intimate listening parties to vibrant late-night club events. Over the years, Hen's Teeth has welcomed an impressive roster of both international and local talent, reflecting its commitment to progressive and diverse programming.
Notable artists who have graced its decks and stages include the acclaimed British DJ and producer Gilles Peterson, the American experimental composer Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, London-based selector Bradley Zero, Irish electronic duo Ships, hip-hop legend DJ Jazzy Jeff, and local tastemakers such as Arveene, ELLLL, and Donal Dineen. The venue’s multidisciplinary ethos means it has also hosted creators like artist Maser and chefs such as Holly Dalton, further reflecting Dublin’s ever-evolving cultural landscape.
