Neither, actually.

The first term that comes to mind, from an older Irish context, is "teach airneáin". FGB defines this as "a house frequented by night visitors", which makes it sound rather like a house of ill repute! But in fact, it harks back to a pre-TV age when people would regularly get together at night at some's house, usually a well-known venue, to tell stories, gossip, play games, and generally hang out.

Well, you might could work in "clúiteach" (= famous).

Cá bhfuil do theach nua? Cén chomharsanacht (neighborhood)?
