Last Update: 23/2/99
Recently we have received some very favourable press from the UK's TIME OUT :
"Another essential venue for visitor and local alike, Whelans features a highly eclectic mix of rock and roots in extremely congenial surroundings.The building itself dates back to the eighteenth century and, thanks to extensive renovation in 1989 which uncovered many original fittings, it's a good example of an old Irish pub, well worth a visit in itself. This is the place to go to hear everything from Russian Gypsy bands, English Folk and Irish trad to international rock, jazz and blues in a venue small enough for intimacy. Absolutely essential."
Time Out Guide to Dublin 1998
Also The Rough Guide said "this is perhaps the city's best place to see live music up close." More on the Reviews page.
