Open House Dublin and Give Us The Night present: Lost and Found — a moving conversation about the places, people and possibilities that make Dublin’s nightlife.

Hop aboard a bus travelling through the city for a unique, interactive tour exploring Dublin’s vanished dancefloors, legendary venues and changing nightlife landscape, while asking where the city might dance next.

As the bus moves through Dublin, DJs, promoters, historians, architects and other people connected to the city’s nightlife scene will share stories, memories and perspectives from the places that once brought people together. Along the way, passengers will be invited to join the conversation, sharing their own experiences, favourite nights, memories and hopes for the future of our city.

From lost clubs and repurposed buildings to neighbourhoods undergoing rapid change, Lost and Found explores what happens when the spaces that support music, dancing and social life disappear. What can the city learn from the dancefloors it has lost? Where could new spaces emerge? And how might buildings, streets and neighbourhoods be shaped to make room for nightlife, culture, community and the people who create them?

Part tour, part conversation and part moving archive, Lost and Found invites you to see Dublin’s streets through the lens of its nightlife, looking back at where we’ve been, taking stock of where we are, and imagining where we might dance next.

Pre-Book Only. Strictly 18+

The bus has limited space for wheelchair users. If you have access requirements, please contact [email protected] before booking and we’ll do our best to support you in joining the tour.

Please note the meeting point for this event is at Fidelity Bar & Studio in Smithfield. Open House Volunteers will be there to greet you.
