Where to Attend?
The Abbey Tavern (Festival Headliner Venue): The Abbey Tavern is a world famous 16th century tavern, built to host all of the headline ticketed shows for 2025.
The Harbour Bar: The Harbour Bar is the oldest pub in the village. It's run by friendly local businessman Daragh Heagney and well-known for its excellent pints
and a cozy beer garden with a stage.
O’Connells: O'Connells is widely known as having the best chicken wings in Dublin so settle down with a pint of beer and some wings at their outdoor seating area facing The East Pier Stage which is right outside the door...
McNeills: McNeills of Howth is run by the Olin family who have a great tradition of running music pubs. Hidden down the back is a great little venue with a big stage where some great nights have been had down the years.
Summit Inn: Serving delicious food all day with spectacular views, The Summit Inn is worth a visit. It has ample parking or you can get the bus to the front door.
The Bloody Stream: A great place for food, drink and parties but it also boasts a very cool purpose built outdoor stage named after local legend Phil Lynott. You can step off the DART straight into the venue.
Findlaters: Last but not least, Wrights Findlaters. Overlooking the harbour, this is the Festival's more refined venue. Serving delicious food all day, it will be followed by live bands on Friday and Saturday night. The crowd that go there are always up for a party so expect dancing and singing.
