The Elbow Room

The Elbow Room is a lively live music and events venue located upstairs above The Points Bar on Dublin Road in Belfast city centre. Situated in the busy Linen Quarter, it is just a short walk from Belfast Grand Central Station and close to many of the city’s hotels, theatres and nightlife spots.

The venue operates as an intimate performance space that regularly hosts live bands, DJs, themed music nights and special events. Its smaller size creates a close atmosphere between performers and the audience, making it a popular place for discovering new acts as well as enjoying energetic local gigs. Events range from punk and rock concerts to country nights, folk sessions and festival performances during events such as Belfast Whiskey Week.

Drinks are served through The Points Bar downstairs, a traditional Irish whiskey and alehouse known for its wide range of Irish and international whiskeys as well as popular beers and spirits. Visitors can enjoy a drink in the pub before heading upstairs for a show, creating a relaxed and social atmosphere throughout the venue.

The Elbow Room attracts a mix of locals, music fans and visitors looking for a lively night out in Belfast. With regular entertainment, themed club nights and private events, it has quickly established itself as a versatile addition to the city’s live music and nightlife scene.
