The Róisín Dubh is an established live music venue in Galway, Ireland. It has hosted events such as the IMRO Showcase Tour[1] and the 2fm 2moro 2our. The name translates from the Irish language as the "black rose".[2] According to Una Mullally in the Sunday Tribune, the venue is "the heart of live music in the city".[3]

In 2008 the Róisín won the IMRO award for Best Venue in Connacht and was nominated for Best Venue In Ireland.[4] It won the Regional Award for Connacht again in 2009.[5]

Nial Conlon of Dublin-based band Delorentos praised the venue's owner, Gugai, for welcoming the band when no other venue would.[6] Other notable fans who attend the venue include broadcaster Síle Ní Bhraonain.[3]
