INFO

Tailors Hall in Dublin, Ireland, is a historic venue with origins dating back to the 18th century. Built in 1706 as the guildhall for the Guild of Merchant Tailors, the building stands as the oldest surviving guildhall in the city. Over the centuries, Tailors Hall has played various roles in Dublin's social and political life, hosting everything from trade meetings and social functions to radical political gatherings, notably during the late 18th century when it served as a meeting place for the Society of United Irishmen.
In the late 20th century, the building's purpose shifted, and it briefly gained a reputation as a nightclub and live music venue, drawing a diverse crowd and adding to the city’s vibrant nightlife scene. During this period, Tailors Hall was celebrated for its unique blend of history and contemporary culture, earning a name as a cherished haunt for locals and an intriguing stop for tourists. Structural changes over time included restorative efforts to preserve the building's historic fabric, but the general layout and character of the hall remained largely unchanged, emphasizing the raw energy of its centuries-old walls.
As time went on and regulations around historic preservation tightened, the nightclub ceased operations and the hall reverted to its roots as a community and cultural space. While the club era of Tailors Hall was relatively short-lived, it left a lasting impression on Dublin’s music scene and is fondly remembered for its welcoming atmosphere and commitment to showcasing talent—making it a small but significant slice of the city’s social history. Notable artists who have performed at Tailors Hall include local Irish acts such as The Frames, Mundy, and Kíla, as well as international DJs from the UK and Europe during its club nights.
The venue also featured performances from Dublin’s up-and-coming indie bands of the early 2000s, such as Bell X1 and Turn, alongside folk and traditional Irish musicians drawn by the venue’s acoustics and historic charm.
