What's On Dublin Gigs The Sugar Club

Venue guide · Leeson Street, Dublin 2

The Sugar Club

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.
