Olympia Theatre is a historical venue in Dublin, located on the centrally situated Dame Street. Originally opened in 1879, it is the longest running theatre in Dublin, and has hosted a variety of shows, from theatre performances to musical acts and comedy. The theatre has an intimacy that is hard to replicate, and its stately, grand Edwardian architecture creates a sense of awe. With an atmosphere more akin to a house party than a gigantic venue, the Olympia Theatre is one of the best places to experience a live performance in Dublin.
