INFO

Pawn Shop, located at 15 Dame St, Dublin 2, D02 KD74, is one of Dublin’s most vibrant nightlife destinations, blending the city’s rich heritage with a modern clubbing ethos. The venue occupies a storied spot in the heart of Dublin’s Temple Bar district, an area long synonymous with nightlife and cultural dynamism. Established in 2021, the Pawn Shop quickly made its mark as a unique hybrid of nightclub, bar, and late-night social hub, distinguished by its speakeasy-inspired aesthetic and inventive décor that pays homage to the pawnshop motif, using quirky props and neon art to set an immersive atmosphere.
The venue stands on the site of the former Tivoli Backstage, retaining much of the original architectural charm while injecting new life through extensive refurbishments and state-of-the-art sound and lighting systems. This has cemented Pawn Shop’s reputation as a premier nocturnal haunt for Dublin’s culturally curious and musically adventurous. In a short time, Pawn Shop has grown into more than just a party spot: it serves as a platform for Dublin’s underground music scene, nurturing emerging talent and hosting community events that reflect the city’s ever-evolving musical landscape.
Its open-door policy towards diverse genres and crowd-friendly attitude has lent Pawn Shop a significant cultural gravitas in an area famed for its nightlife, standing out for its commitment to inclusivity and creative programming. While the spatial structure has remained consistent since its launch, the club’s interior and functional layout are regularly refreshed to accommodate everything from DJ-led club nights to live showcase performances and themed party events. Over the last few years, Pawn Shop has rapidly become an influential stop for both international touring artists and the most exciting local talent.
Notable artists who have played at Pawn Shop include internationally acclaimed acts such as KETTAMA, Sally C, DJ Boring, and Mella Dee, as well as major figures from Ireland’s underground like TR One, DeFeKT, and Cáit. Frequent appearances by well-loved local crews and collectives, including the likes of Bodytonic and Hidden Agenda, have further cemented the venue’s reputation as a home for forward-thinking electronic music and diverse parties, making it a beloved stronghold for dance music aficionados in Dublin and beyond.
