An absolutely fantastic venue, with really helpful staff friendly and welcoming ambiance that really has a cozy and warm feel to it. Visited to see one of my favorite composers and the visuals and the sound system was absolutely ethereal. 100% a must visit venue if you've never been before, pricing for the event was very reasonable ( did book almost 6 months in advance however ).

A well-run venue with comfortable seating and impressive acoustics. From entry to exit, the experience feels organised and calm. Even if you’re not a regular concert-goer, the welcoming atmosphere makes it easy to relax and enjoy the performance without feeling out of place.

Jim Doherty & band, with Honor Heffernan were legendary. They did old classic jazz songs with style and finesse. The John Field room makes the lunchtime concerts intimate and very enjoyable.

I went to the National Concert Hall yesterday for a concert and everything was amazing. The venue is very clean, and the staff were super helpful in guiding us to our seats. Everyone was really friendly. I definitely recommend arriving a bit early so you can enjoy a drink before the show starts.

Wonderful venue! We've been in the hall twice and loved it☺️ it's beautiful and very well kept. It doesn't matter where you're sitting, you'll have a great view of the stage. The accoustics is fantastic as well. The staff are also very friendly.
