The Spirit Store

Amazing place , beautiful location. It is a nice feel to get a pint, sit and watch the surroundings. Great spot to come with your friends or date and just let it go. See you there next time 🍻

Great entertainment in the town. Friendly staff and great pints. Lovely view over the water. Great spot for twitchers, plenty to see

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

Great choice of beers including the legendary Guinness which I always order when visiting family. Music is always great too.

Good spot for a gig and lunch. Food is delicious and portion sizes are spot on. Arrive early as the place gets packed, great atmosphere though. Derek, one of the managers was an absolute gentleman and sorted us out with early access and use of the lift for a disabled member of our party

Had a great night here. Great atmosphere Great Guinness Great food Great service Karma Police the Radiohead tribute band were amazing!! Great Venue 🤩

Great looking venue, shame that they oversold tickets for a Johny Cash tribute show, lots of people left standing by the door with no good view.

A great live music venue with a good sound and amazing vibe. Management and staff are super friendly and welcoming. I had an excellent show, loved it

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.
