Fidelity

Fidelity is the result of a collaboration between Dublin’s ‘The Big Romance’ and Whiplash Beer, creating a space where world-class audio meets world-class brewing. Located in Smithfield, the bar features a sound system that was custom-engineered specifically for the room’s dimensions. The 4-way active monitors deliver a level of detail and clarity rarely found in public spaces, making every record sound like a live performance.

The design is clean and functional, with a focus on the massive custom speakers and the rotating selection of craft beers. Fidelity’s mission is to bring the ‘high-fidelity’ experience to a broader audience, stripping away the pretension often associated with audiophile culture while maintaining the highest technical standards. It is a warm, welcoming space that celebrates the simple joy of a great record played on a great system.
