The Sound House on Eden Quay in Dublin 1 is a live music venue, club and event space with room for up to 300 people. Organisers can book it for private parties, club nights and gigs, with a covered rooftop terrace and a smaller room, The Penthouse, as alternatives to the main floor.
Seminars and company events
The Sound House is a music venue first, and its website does not present meeting or conference packages. It suits a company party, a launch with live music or a team night out rather than a daytime seminar. The venue describes top-tier sound, which matters for a show, a DJ set or an awards evening with music.
A larger group can use the main room, which holds up to 300. A department or a client evening of 20 to 40 people can use The Penthouse instead, so the room does not feel empty.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are not listed on the website. The venue does list private parties, and its enquiry form lets organisers ask about a venue or space. A party after a wedding, an engagement night or a milestone birthday are the kind of private events the venue describes.
Rooms and capacities
- The Sound House: the main live music room, space for up to 300.
- The Penthouse: 20 seated or 40 standing, with a full-size pub pool table, a karaoke machine and a dedicated sound system. The website presents it for private group bookings and intimate gatherings and places it at The Wiley Fox, the sister venue.
- The Terrace: an open-air rooftop bar above The Sound House, described with festoon lights, top-class sound, premium catering and cocktails. The site mentions custom event planning but states no capacity.
Catering
The website mentions premium catering and cocktails on The Terrace. It does not publish a catering menu for private events, so ask the team what can be supplied for your group and whether an outside caterer is allowed.
History and setting
The Sound House has operated since 2017 and describes itself as an alternative spot for live music, arts and club nights. It has hosted Irish acts including The Coronas, Wild Youth, Biig Piig and Roisin O. The venue is on the first floor of 28 Eden Quay, beside the River Liffey in the north city centre.
Getting there
Eden Quay is on the north quays, a short walk from O'Connell Bridge and the main Dublin city center bus routes. Connolly Station and the Luas Red Line are close. Because gigs run most nights, confirm your date is free with the team before planning an event.
