Wigwam

Occupying the fabled Middle Abbey Street address that once housed the legendary Twisted Pepper, Wigwam is one of Dublin’s most vital and enduring epicentres of underground dance culture. Operated by the creative Bodytonic collective, Wigwam functions as a sunlit café, rum bar, and craft kitchen by day, before transforming after dark into an uninhibited, bass-driven nocturnal playground.

The venue’s crown jewel is its intimate, low-ceilinged basement club—a dark, atmospheric sweatbox revered by European electronic artists for its punchy sound design and electric crowd connection. Upstairs, a vibrant ground-floor lounge and rooftop terrace provide warm, colorful spaces for disco, salsa, and afrobeats parties fueled by over 100 varieties of premium rum and craft brews.

Wigwam’s forward-thinking programming champions the best in Dublin’s underground electronic spectrum, spanning rolling techno and melodic house to electro, garage, and global club sounds. With its welcoming ethos and commitment to musical integrity, Wigwam remains an essential pillar of Dublin’s nightlife vanguard.
