About the venue
A cornerstone of Dublin's independent creative spirit since 2006, The Bernard Shaw has seamlessly transitioned from its historic Southside roots to a sprawling new waterside home at Cross Guns Bridge in Phibsborough/Drumcondra. Operated by Bodytonic, the multi-faceted venue brings together a bustling street-food market (Eatyard), vintage arts and games rooms, and energetic indoor and outdoor dance stages.
The complex boasts an expansive, graffiti-lined courtyard with covered pavilions, outdoor bars, and an indoor club space outfitted with robust sound systems and dynamic lighting. From daytime flea markets, live podcasts, and quiz nights to evening DJ sets, the atmosphere is perpetually buzzing with creative energy.
On weekends, The Bernard Shaw becomes a premier Northside party destination, hosting resident selectors and guest collectives spinning house, nu-disco, indie dance, electro, and hip-hop. Celebrated for its laid-back inclusivity, great food, and unpretentious crowd, 'The Shaw' continues to define contemporary Dublin subculture.
