About The Workman's Club
Sitting pretty on Wellington Quay in the Kilmainham-adjacent Liberties, The Workman's Club is a nightlife powerhouse among Dublin's west side nightclubs. This multi-level venue, once a Victorian working men's club, now pulses with gigs, club nights, and all-night ragers that draw from Kilmainham locals to citywide ravers. Stroll from nearby Thomas Street's markets, and you're in: main room thuds with techno and disco, upstairs intimates with alt sets. The crowd's electric; indie kids, clubbers in glad rags, and internationals bonding over beats. Bartenders sling perfect negronis and local IPAs amid fog and strobes. Smell the mix of sweat, perfume, and pop-up pizza. Famous for 'WaxDAQ' vinyl sessions and 'Bodytonic' takeovers, it's Kilmainham area nightlife with big-league cred. Open late every weekend, it captures Dublin's creative underbelly: graffiti art, comfy booths, and a terrace overlooking the Liffey. No wonder it's a staple for anyone plotting 10 days in Dublin's club scene.
