Anseo, located at 18 Camden Street Lower in the vibrant Saint Kevin's area of Dublin 2, has become one of the city's most beloved nightspots, known for its warm atmosphere and eclectic programming. The venue, whose name means "here" in Irish, opened its doors in the early 2000s in a building that had previously housed various pubs and social venues over the decades, reflecting Camden Street's reputation as a social hub. Anseo quickly stood out thanks to its welcoming, unpretentious vibe and a deep commitment to supporting local musicians, artists, and comedians.

Over the years, it has gained a reputation not only as a relaxed neighborhood bar but also as a cornerstone of Dublin’s nightlife, especially for those seeking something a bit different from the mainstream club scene. The interior maintains original features from its historic past, such as exposed brick walls and classic wooden bar counters, with periodic updates to maintain its cozy yet modern feel. While Anseo has remained in its original location, it has expanded its offerings, including an upstairs venue space that accommodates intimate live performances and club nights, reinforcing its role as a cultural gathering spot.

Besides being a favorite haunt for Dublin residents, Anseo is renowned for fostering emerging talent while welcoming established acts, making it an essential stop for music and comedy fans alike. Notable artists who have graced Anseo’s stage include David Kitt, The Bonk, Jape, and Rachael Lavelle from the Irish music scene, along with prominent DJs and acts like Sunil Sharpe and Donal Dineen. Internationally, while the venue’s intimate size tends to favor local acts, it has occasionally hosted touring performers such as Matthew E.

White and visiting DJs from Berlin and London, creating an eclectic mix that captures Dublin’s dynamic and diverse nightlife culture.
