At Monroe's Live · Dominick Street Upper, Galway, Co. Galway
Céadaoin Collective take the stage at Monroe’s Live on Wednesday 19 August 2026, with doors opening at 7:30 PM. Monroe’s Live is the purpose-built gig room attached to Monroe’s Tavern on Dominick Street Upper, and it is one of the busiest mid-size music rooms in Galway city, running live shows most nights of the week across original acts, tribute bands and touring artists.
The room is set up for standing crowds down at the front with space to hang back near the bar, so it suits people who want to be close to the stage and people who would rather listen from a distance. A midweek show like this one tends to draw a mixed local crowd rather than a festival audience, and the earlier 7:30 PM door time means the gig gets underway well before the late-night trade arrives next door. Monroe’s publishes its full gig calendar on its own website, and the listing for this date is the source for the details here.
Monroe’s sits on Dominick Street Upper in Galway’s West End, about a ten-minute walk from Eyre Square over the Wolfe Tone Bridge and along Dominick Street Lower. Coming into the city by car, follow the N6 to the city centre and use one of the multi-storey car parks near Jury’s Inn or the Fairgreen, then walk across. City bus services along Fr Griffin Road and Dominick Street drop you within a couple of minutes of the door, and Galway Ceannt railway and bus station is roughly a fifteen-minute walk away on the far side of the river.
