The Button Factory

The Button Factory is in Temple Bar, in the centre of Dublin, occupying a converted building on Curved Street in the middle of the district’s cultural quarter.

It is best known as a live music and club venue, hosting gigs across rock, electronic and Irish acts, with bar service through the night. Food and drink are part of the offering, but the programme of performances is the reason most people come. Check listings before visiting, as opening depends largely on what is scheduled that evening.
