Anseo
Dublin
Anseo means 'here' in Irish. And here is where you'll find DJs spinning, plus live music and comedy gigs upstairs (including some names who visit to do warm-up shows for bigger venues).
The interior design isn't particularly design-y, but that's in keeping with Anseo's low-key, non-hipster vibe. Along those same unpretentious lines, staff are friendly and drinks are reasonably priced.
It's a smallish space which can be packed on busy weekends, but it has a certain charm compared to much bigger venues in the area. Going upstairs to see a show is like watching someone perform in a pal's living room - with the bonus of being able to pop downstairs to check out the action in the bar.
