Arrival Guide

Opening times
The opening time for the venue is always specific to the events we have on. However we share the building with Duke’s at Komedia. They run the café in the entrance offering food and drinks from 10am, 7 days a week.

Arriving at the venue
Upon arrival you will find the venue located through the doors at the back of the café. Any member of security or café staff will be able to assist you if you’re not sure where to go.

If early entrance to the venue is required pleased may we ask you to contact [email protected] so we can make suitable arrangements ahead of your visit.

Ticket collection
Once you’ve gone through the doors leading from the café as you come through you will see an open window to the left of some stairs. This is our box office where you can purchase tickets for the events that night (provided they aren’t sold out) and for future events too.

If you have pre-booked tickets please bypass the box office and follow the corridor round the corner. Here you will meet a member of our door team. You can show a print off of your tickets or your email on a smart phone. They will then tick your name off the list and direct you through to the respective venue.

Medical Requirements
If any medication or essential food and drink are required at our events we are happy to oblige. If you’re able to notify us in advance then it means we are able to advise the staff members working on the night. However we appreciate this isn’t always possible and staff have been made aware that we are happy for provisions to be brought in to the venue in certain circumstances.

Strobe Lighting Policy
Strobe lighting may be used for live music events and club nights. If we are advised in advance that a customer is attending who may be affected by the use of strobes we won’t use them unless it’s specifically requested by the artist. If heavy strobe lighting is being used warning signs will be placed around the venue.

Sound Levels
Komedia operates a Noise at Work policy that adheres to the current guidelines from the HSE, some gigs are meant to be loud but they should also be safe, for this reason we keep a close eye on dB levels and we also have ear plugs behind the bar for every event.
