The Spirit Store

The Spirit Store, great pub, great location, The Venue for tribute bands, comedians is perfect, acoustics second to none.

Amazing spot for music gigs and comedy shows. Friendly staff and the lovely food, we had the share platter for 2, and it was delicious. I can't wait to go back

A great location for music. Lovely bar and venue. Nice staff. Will be back

A fantastic bar with a great choice of drinks, including my favourite... Erdinger on tap! The food was fantastic, well above pub grub status. And to top it all off they were dog friendly!

Fantastic venue. Saw the Bionic rats here last weekend and they were amazing! Loads of room to dance and the bar is outside the main room which is handy. Love this place and the Bionic rats. 😁😍🤩

Charming old pub,real homely feel to it. Lively spot with great positive vibes. Great live entertainment venue upstairs,perfect recipe for a fantastic night out.

Had dinner here this evening. To be fair, the service was good. The waitresses attentive and quick to the mark, however the food left a lot to be desired. The starters were un-inspired and felt churned out. Wings were good but still felt like something was lacking. Fishcakes tasted very bland... The main was one of the worst mains I had in quite some time. Haddock Burger....not sure if the burger was cooked incorrectly or if it was supposed to actually taste like it did, but if the latter, not sure why a chef would opt to have it in his/her menu. There was nothing appetising about it On a lighter note.... Guinness was incredible and the wine wasn't bad. + The atmosphere was chilled and quirky Overall - Ok Adiós amigo's!

I decided to visit after seeing on Instagram that it was the last day for the lobster rolls. We ordered the lobster rolls along with two glasses of hot port. However, when we received our drinks, we noticed that the glasses were filled up to the rim and that diluted the hot port making it overly watery. We politely mentioned this to the waitress and asked for an extra shot of hot port to balance it out. When it came time to pay, we were surprised to see that the extra shot had been charged. We explained again that the issue wasn't with the quantity of alcohol but that the original drinks had too much water in them. Unfortunately, the waitress responded in a condescending manner and refused to acknowledge her mistake. Glasses of any kind should never be filled up to the rim unless it’s a pint. It's disappointing, especially as we are regular customers. This experience has really put us off, and we won’t be recommending this place moving forward.

Hidden gem in Dundalk and it's still going strong! My fiancée and I were stopping by Dundalk for some lineage discovery and found the one Uber driver in town to take us all around that night, but the highlight was certainly this bar. Friendly bartender and locals, we made lovely acquaintance with the regulars, of whom all had unique stories to share. Nice variety of draught beer, many room types to enjoy, and a great spot to stop in for a pint!

Great please to drink on the water front with a nice vibe. Think of this place as a student bar with live music.

Just came across the Spirit Store last Sunday night completely by accident. It's down at the old docks in Dundalk, a town which I am completely unfamiliar with, and seemed like it should have been on the set of some old Chicago Prohibition film. There were a bunch of fishing boats tied up to the docks (complete with skull and crossbones flying overhead) and a gorgeous view of the Cooley mountains. The pub itself is bursting with character and there's a real presence as soon as you step in the door. Snugs galore and candles everywhere giving it a very vintage feel but the live music played in a corner by the local young folk and appreciated by all the punters (of all ages, sized and nationalities) gave it that nice lick of energy that makes you relax while anticipate an entertaining evening ahead. The beers are varied too and it's great to have a selection outside of the usual. Macardals was a totally foreign brew to me and, given they had it on tap and it was the local drink (or so i was told), I decided to make it my choice of drink for the evening. Head upstairs and you have a state of the art live venue complete with a great sound desk, stage and bar with a seating area that was small enough to feel cosy but big enough to entertain the large group of music lovers who turned up later that evening to watch the live band who electrified the friendly punters who were really up for it. As I said, it was my first time in Dundalk so this review is based on one night's experience but I will definitely be back to sample some of the magic again!

Great spot to enjoy live music and craft beers, from some locals like 8 Degrees to imports like Hoegaarden and others, on tap. They also do pitchers of beer at a great price - €12.50 for Hoegaarden! Saw Paddy Casey perform upstairs in the music venue, which has plenty of stools and tables to make for comfortable drinking and performance watching. You may need to reserve tickets/table in advance, as the venue isn't that big.

Not many pubs are run by members of Seanad Eireann, this one is! Plaudits to Mark Dearey and his team. Good live music and a decent selection of beers is a good mix.

I personally love the Spirit Store! Situated on a Quay, you can see loads of different music acts. It has cute wee snugs and fires so you can enjoy your drink in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Has a really cool website too, so check it out for the latest artists playing there. Admission is reasonably priced (about 10€). Everytime I've gone I've been driven by someone so I know there's quite a bit of free parking space! Only downside is they're quite stric on i.d. so if you look younger than your years, bring it!

A welcoming pub, with varied customers. Nicely bohemian, and a decent range of alternative beers. Excellent music venue.

A great pub right down by the quayside in Dundalk, friendly atmosphere, great choice of pints, and a top live-music venue upstairs - they get big names and they also give young musicians who are starting up a chance. There's usually a great crowd in and a good mix of different people. Good for a quiet drink during the week or a lively night out at the weekend.
