Spreading musical joy at the foot of the Ha’Penny Bridge, The Grand Social is one of the capital’s busiest and most respected hubs of live music. It has been up for IMRO Venue of the Year on every single occasion since opening its doors in 2010, and won the accolade a year after it arrived. The 300-capacity room has welcomed the likes of Primal Scream and Jake Bugg in the past, and Sorcha Richardson and Bronagh Gallagher in more recent months, while the Grand Social crew have consistently been fervent supporters of the home-grown independent music scene. With friendly staff and a splendid interior, it’s also worth a visit even if you simply fancy a quiet drink
