The Workman's Club

À propos de ce lieu The Workman's Club

The Workman's Club on Wellington Quay is primarily a live music and arts venue — multi-level, on the south bank of the Liffey, with a programme that spans indie rock, electronic music, comedy, and club nights. Within that programming are regular queer events that have made the venue an important node in Dublin's LGBTQ+ cultural scene, attracting a creative, mixed audience that does not exclusively identify with the traditional gay bar circuit. The venue's aesthetic is different from Capel Street and George's Street: more music-festival than gay bar, more interested in cultural diversity than in subcultural identity. For LGBTQ+ visitors to Dublin who want their evenings to have a broader cultural dimension, The Workman's Club provides that bridge. It is also the venue most likely to host interesting queer arts events, performances, and cultural programming that does not fit neatly into the bar-and-club framework.
