Yamamori Tengu, located at 37 Strand Street Great in North City, Dublin 1, has established itself as one of the city’s leading nightlife destinations since opening its doors in 2014. Occupying a historic building that once housed a printing press, the venue merges the energy of a contemporary nightclub with the atmospheric charm of its original architectural features, including exposed brick and low ceilings. The name "Tengu" is inspired by a mythical creature from Japanese folklore, a nod to the venue’s connection with Yamamori, a celebrated chain of Japanese restaurants in Dublin.

Yamamori Tengu serves not only as a dance club but also as a late-night listening bar, drawing music aficionados from across Ireland and abroad. Over the years, it has become renowned for championing Dublin’s electronic music scene, hosting a wide variety of events that span house, techno, hip-hop, and experimental genres, while also serving as a vibrant community hub for both locals and the international crowd. Tengu has seen minimal changes in location, remaining rooted in the heart of North City, but the internal structure has gradually evolved to accommodate different club nights, art installations, and unique performance spaces, including an intimate terrace and a bustling sake bar.

Its reputation for fostering a welcoming and creative atmosphere has contributed to its status as a cultural touchstone within Dublin’s nightlife, and it remains a favorite among club-goers, artists, and promoters alike. Notable artists who have performed at Yamamori Tengu include international acts such as Ben UFO, Hunee, Jane Fitz, Low Jack, Shanti Celeste, and Jayda G, as well as local heroes like Sunil Sharpe, Cáit, Moving Still, and Sally Cinnamon, further cementing its role as a cornerstone in the city’s music and cultural landscape.
