Lost Lane is a celebrated nightclub and live music venue located at 1-2 Adam Court, just off the iconic Grafton Street in the heart of Dublin, Ireland. Opened in April 2019, Lost Lane occupies the former premises of the legendary Lillie’s Bordello, a venue that had stood as a mainstay of Dublin’s social and nightlife scene since the 1990s before closing its doors in January 2019. The transition from Lillie’s Bordello to Lost Lane marked a significant shift in cultural focus: while Lillie’s had a reputation as an exclusive celebrity haunt and nightclub, Lost Lane was conceived as a hub for live music, with an emphasis on fostering local talent alongside hosting international acts.

The transformation also included a substantial renovation of the venue’s interior, with careful attention paid to acoustics and stage design, creating an intimate, dynamic setting that appeals to music lovers and performers alike. Lost Lane quickly garnered a reputation for its eclectic programming, featuring genres spanning rock, indie, jazz, electronic, hip-hop, and folk. It has become a crucial part of Dublin’s contemporary live music scene, championed for its inclusive ethos and commitment to providing a space for both emerging and established artists.

While the venue’s location has remained the same – in the storied Adam Court, tucked behind the central bustle of Grafton Street – the internal structure underwent updates to modernize the sound and lighting systems, ensuring high-quality experiences for both performers and attendees. The venue is also celebrated for its support of community initiatives, club nights, and collaborations with local music collectives, helping to solidify its role in the city’s cultural life. Notable artists who have performed at Lost Lane include international acts such as The Sugarhill Gang, HamsandwicH, The Coronas, Tony Allen, and DJ Jazzy Jeff, as well as prominent local talents like Moncrieff, Soda Blonde, Wyvern Lingo, Mick Flannery, Jafaris, and Pillow Queens.

The venue has also hosted club nights curated by collectives such as District Magazine, Nialler9, Mother, and Sim Simma, further cementing its status as one of Dublin’s premier destinations for diverse and innovative live entertainment.
