Fidelity
The room
Fidelity grew from a collaboration between The Big Romance and Whiplash in 2022. The Smithfield bar centres on a custom system designed to keep music clear while leaving room for conversation, connecting careful playback with the social life of a Dublin bar.
Neighbouring Fidelity Studio offers a separate music-venue setting, with the smaller Rollover Room inside it. Each space has its own role, from a drink in the original bar to an event in the Studio.
