Started in the year 2000, here’s a little bit about what we do now… Find out our story throughout the years here.

Bodytonic Music

Bodytonic Music is where we started and what we use to promote events, ideas & music.

Community

We partner and run various initiatives in our local community with each of our bars. We sponsor various sports club and frontline meetups and gatherings . If you are running a charity event in our area, and would like us to donate tickets, or food/drinks vouchers, or use our venue to hold a meeting or a fundraising event please get in touch. We might not be able to honour every request, and its important that it be local to us , but other than that, thats it . Please email us at info@bodytonicmusic.com for all requests.

Greentonic

What’s Greentonic you ask? It’s an extension of Bodytonic which focuses on all aspects of being green/reducing waste/energy efficient/environmentally friendly. We want to reduce our waste, remove single use plastic, be environmentally friendly. If you have any ideas or see us doing silly things we can easily improve on, please let us know, we’re open to learning and doing as much as we can – info@bodytonicmusic.com

Brewtonic

Our home for getting creative with food & drinks…

Festivals

Over the years we’ve work at, and run various festivals. Our first one, was a little corner of the first ever Electric Picnic in 2004, when a new and emerging Mylo headlined before going on to conquer electro house domination. We did that, then Garden Party Festival, then Life festival and then started running festivals ourselves with the likes of the The Big Grill & Beatyard , to Tippletown, Rumbullion, Ginfusion, Crisp Fest and Wine & Cheese festival…..

Beatyard

The Beatyard festival took place across the August Bank Holiday, weekend, nearly 20,000 people over 3 days in the seaside town of Dùn Laoghaire with the main stage right on the harbour. Previous line ups included Orbital, Groove Armada, Jungle, Chvrches, the Jacksons, Kamasi Washington, Four Tet, Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry, MrScruff, Parliament, Snarky Puppy, Roy Ayers, Tensnake, John Talabot, Neneh Cherry, Theo Parrish, Daphni, Little Dragon, Django Django, Kiasmos, Andrew Weatherall and loads more. And that’s not all, you’ll also find an array of games & sports, quizzes, art & design workshops, a flea market and international craft brewers in our Carniv-ale tent. There’s also talks, chats and sing-alongs in the Banteryard, experiments, explosions and screenings at the Techyard, classic gaming in our Gamesyard, a place to dock the kids in our Kidsyard and the tastiest of treats in the Eatyard.

Beatyard is coming back to a smaller, new home soon….

Eatyard

The Eatyard is our food market space that started out on South Richmond St. Now we’ve moved location along with the The Bernard Shaw to Drumcondra. Our aim at Eatyard is to elevate Irish Street Food to a new level and bring a unique casual dining experience to Dublin. We are always looking for innovative & creative food producers, chefs, cooks or vendors who follow the ethos of doing something simple really well.

Markets

The flea markets began out in the beer garden of the old Shaw! Last year we began running a monthly ‘Market Park’ series in Jam Park, our newest venue. Here we showcased Irish design collectives, local artists, house clearances, nail artists, vinyl vendors, vintage clothing, crafts, furniture, jewelery, books, bakers, makers, growers and doers.

The Bernard Shaw

The Shaw was/is our first bar. In existence since 1895, Bodytonic started a new chapter in 2006 and have tried to keep her lit since. The reason its called the Bernard Shaw is that when we took over the bar, it was called the George Bernard Shaw [ he was born nearby on Synge Street], and when we took it over, we had no money, so we kept the sign as was, and shortend the name to ‘The Bernard Shaw’. Why? Why not…
