About Button Factory
The Button Factory is the cornerstone of Temple Bar's legitimate music scene, providing a mid-capacity space that bridges the gap between intimate small venues and large concert halls. Since 2008, it has hosted an exceptionally varied programme of live music and club nights, from breakthrough international artists to established Irish acts. Its location in the heart of Temple Bar gives it unmatched foot traffic, while its serious technical infrastructure — sound, lighting, and production — sets it apart from the tourist-oriented bars surrounding it.
History
Button Factory opened in 2008 in the Curved Street development, part of a broader effort to bring serious music programming to the Temple Bar area. It quickly became one of Dublin's most respected mid-sized venues, hosting early Irish shows from artists who went on to major international careers.
