The Front Lounge

À propos de ce lieu The Front Lounge

The Front Lounge on Parliament Street occupies a strategic position between Temple Bar and the Capel Street gay village, making it one of the most accessible LGBTQ+-friendly bars in the city centre for visitors not specifically seeking a gay bar. The venue has been welcoming LGBTQ+ customers since the 1990s and has a relaxed, mixed atmosphere that makes it suitable for post-work drinks, pre-dinner gatherings, and the early part of an evening before the gay bars on Capel Street and George's Street get going. The Parliament Street location is walkable from most city centre hotels and accommodation, and the bar's reputation as genuinely mixed and friendly — rather than gay-specific — makes it an easier first stop for those arriving with a mixed group of LGBTQ+ and straight friends.
