Vicar Street is a concert and events venue, and a cultural arts centre located on Thomas Street just 15 minutes from the Drury Court Hotel by foot or public transport, or less than 10 minutes by car. First opened in 1998 it has gone on to become one of Ireland’s most popular venues.

With a capacity for 1,050 people for seated performances and 1,500 people for standing gigs it is known internationally as the go-to Irish venue for intimate shows. Some of its previous performers include Adele, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Paul Simon, and Ed Sheeran.
