What's On Dublin Gigs The Sugar Club
Venue guide · Leeson Street, Dublin 2
The Sugar Club
These listings were built on Thursday 29 October. Today's update hasn't landed yet, so shows that have finished are hidden.
Opened in 1999 in the former Irish Film Theatre, and it still feels like a cinema: plush tiered banquette seating, candlelit tables and a big screen that's still used for films. Hip-hop, jazz, soul, afrobeat and world music are its specialities, and Hozier, Erykah Badu, Thundercat, Roy Ayers and Snarky Puppy have all played here.
