About
Since opening its doors in 1987, the Tivoli has become a premier theatre and entertainment venue. Converted from a classic cinema, the Tivoli now houses two flexible performance spaces; the Tivoli Theatre and the Tivoli Downstairs. The versatility of both spaces has helped the Tivoli to become one of Dublin’s best loved and most sought after theatres in Dublin.
The Tivoli Theatre is a unique purpose built theatre with a flexible stage area and an extensive lighting grid with a vast array of options for hanging. The theatre can accommodate 447 patrons in the proscenium and up to 560 patrons in the round.
The Tivoli Downstairs is a newly reopened adaptable performance space. With a fixed stage and moveable seating the Tivoli Downstairs can be used in many possible variations both standing and seated. The flexibility of the Tivoli Downstairs and the well stocked bottle bar makes it the perfect venue for everything from plays and musicals to cabaret and stand up comedy.

The Tivoli is serviced by numerous bus routes and the red Luas Line.
