Dolans Warehouse is opening again

Music venues around the country are looking to mitigate the challenges posed by social distancing, reduced capacities, and changing guidelines as they reopen for the first time since March.

With Dolans Warehouse beginning to open again, new measures have been put in place to accommodate socially distanced gigs in this coronavirus era.

We now sell "Tables". A Table is a pod of 4 people. This is to accommodate the strict social distancing measures in place. The four patrons must arrive to the venue together. 

They are seated at the venue together and if they wish to order a drink, they can do so with an app. There will be table service only, a cashless bar system and hand sanitizers available.  We will observe all government guidelines. All our staff have worn masks since we reopened, and we would ask that you wear your mask upon entry and exit and if you need to use the toilet.

Because of the reduced capacity there are only a limited number of tables per gig. For contact tracing, music venues have an advantage in the sense that they already have a system in place for collecting details through the sale of tickets.

We are so looking forward to our new socially distancing gigs starting with Paddy Dennehy's album launch on Saturday September 26th. The Limerick Jazz Festival is on Sunday September 27th. We look forward to some great comedy gigs with Stephen Mullan, Joanne McNally and Neil Delamere and Lisa Hannigan and Paul Noonan are with us in October and November.

We hope you enjoy Dolans. It will be a little different, but it will be fun. We are beyond excited to welcoming artists and customers back and to celebrate the last of our 25th year. What a year!

Thank you for your support and to all our staff and crew for their hard work.

Statement regarding cancellation of all Live at the Drive In shows

"It is with profound regret that we were today informed that all Live at The Drive In shows can no longer proceed due to government guidelines.

We have looked at all options and have sought out support and advice from several Government offices and officials, unfortunately with continuing changes with COVID procedures we can not confirm any alternate dates.

After months of work and planning to try to bring some live music back to Ireland this summer. we are all devastated.

This was completely unforeseen. Please bear with us as we begin the process of organising full refunds to all ticket holders.  "

We are committed to ensuring that the new normal at Dolans will follow all guidelines provided from government and the HSE. These measures will guarantee the safety of all our staff and, most importantly, our loyal customers.

Our table lay-out has been redesigned with a reduced capacity. Our restaurant will now cater for customers over 2 floors. Our staff are now being trained to provide a more comfortable dining experience for you while offering safe distance dining.

We have reviewed all our hygiene and cleaning procedures to ensure that our standards are at a level that guarantee customer trust and confidence.

Dolans is committed to providing the safest environment possible, whilst maintaining the hospitality experience for which we are renowned.

We are looking forward to opening again and welcoming you back as we strive to continue our 25th birthday celebrations.

We may be required to do things a little differently over the coming months but one thing is certain – the family-run, friendly Dolans experience will never change.
