Street 66 is a vibrant and inclusive nightclub and bar located at 33-34 Parliament Street in the heart of Dublin 2, Ireland. Since its opening in 2016, Street 66 has established itself as one of Dublin’s most cherished LGBTQ+ venues, celebrated for its welcoming atmosphere, eclectic events, and strong community ethos. The space itself occupies a site that has long been part of Dublin’s nightlife scene; prior to Street 66, the building housed The Front Lounge, which had also played a significant role in the city’s LGBTQ+ and alternative social life.

Consistently recognized for its rainbow-lit frontage and cozy, exposed-brick interior, Street 66 combines the charm of a classic Dublin bar with the energy and diversity of a modern nightclub.
