About The Old Storehouse
In the lively Coombe area bordering Kilmainham, The Old Storehouse on Ardee Street is a beloved pub where live music meets mouthwatering food in a spacious, welcoming setting. This former whiskey warehouse turned gastropub buzzes with weekend bands covering everything from soulful blues to foot-stomping rock 'n' roll, plus regular trad nights. Vaulted ceilings, rustic beams, and a massive beer garden make it ideal for groups, while the stage hosts both emerging local talent and established acts. It's the perfect blend of dine, drink, and dance in Dublin 8.
What to Expect
Music starts Friday and Saturday from 10pm, with DJs or acoustic sets midweek. The kitchen serves until late: think gourmet burgers, wood-fired pizzas, and fresh seafood platters. Over 100 beers on tap, including Irish crafts. The garden heats up in summer for al fresco gigs. Crowd skews 20s-40s, lively but not rowdy.
Insider Tips
Reserve for music nights; the place fills quick. Garden tables are prime in summer. Happy hour deals pre-gig. Walk off dinner with a visit to nearby Teeling Whiskey Distillery. Late licence means gigs run till 1am. Street parking tricky, so Luas to The Coombe stop. Bring mates for the shareable platters and group toasts during encores.
