Popular Dublin Gay Bars To Visit

Mother is one of the best gay bars in Dublin! Mother is a weekly gay club open on Saturdays at Copper Alley in Dublin, spinning a riotous blend of synth, house, and disco, which plays out over a packed dance floor. PantiBar is a popular gay bar with a relaxed atmosphere for having cocktails before heading out to other queer spots around town. PantiBar is just a few meters from the river Liffey on Dublin’s “North Side,” on the much loved Capel Street, and features fabulous drag performer (and bar owner) Panti! Pennylane is a stylish lounge and cocktail bar in Dublin, and sister bar to neighboring Pantibar. Pennylane's intimate atmosphere makes it an ideal spot for a nightcap, a romantic date, or simply catching up with friends. Street 66 is another fun gay bar located on Parliament Street in Dublin (just 2 minutes away from Dublin Castle if you want to pop by). Street 66 is named after the reggae song by Linton Kwesi Johnson and features friendly old-school service with a nice array of beer, wine, and cocktails to taste. The George is one of Dublin's oldest gay bars that has been serving the LGBTQ+ community for decades. The George is the first stop for many coming out in Dublin's gay scene and each week is filled with fun happenings - bingo, karaoke, drag shows, as well as dancing every night!
