About Bruxelles
Hidden on Harry Street off Grafton Street, steps from St Stephen's Green, Bruxelles is a Dublin institution blending rock 'n' roll grit with pub charm since 1780. Its labyrinth of rooms, from the rock cellar to the jazz bar, pulses with live music that spills onto the street on summer nights. This is where Thin Lizzy jammed and generations of Dubliners cut loose.
What to Expect
Live bands crank up from 10pm most nights: rock covers, blues, funk in the downstairs lair; jazz upstairs. Holds 500+, with sticky tables, cheap shots, and a wild crowd of locals and stag dos. Burgers and wings fuel the frenzy till late.
Insider Tips
Downstairs for rowdy rock; upstairs for mellow jazz. Thursday songwriter nights are underrated gems. Enter via the Grafton side to avoid lines. Post-gig, hit St Stephen's Green for fresh air. Bruxelles captures Dublin's raw live music energy in the St Stephen's Green hub perfectly.
