In the game for three decades, Dolan’s reputation continues to grow – as the acts they welcome get bigger and bigger. Over the years, they’ve transformed a small quayside pub into a key music institution, made up of several venues, including The Warehouse, the Kasbah Social Club, and Upstairs at Dolan’s – all welcoming an innovative selection of Irish and international acts. They also present gigs in major outdoor spaces, like Live At The Castle.
Dolan's took home the top prize in the Munster category at the IMRO Live Music Venue of The Year Awards earlier this month – as well as being honoured with a Hot Press Special Commendation.
