Bat's Womb - Goth Club Night at Fibber Magees

What to Expect

Bat’s Womb runs out of the basement at Fibber Magees on Parnell Street, playing across goth, 80s, post-punk, alternative and darkwave, with drink promotions running throughout the night. DJs Sterling Paterson and Cailan Rua handle the decks, keeping the set moving between eras rather than sitting in one narrow lane, which suits a crowd that tends to come for the whole spread of dark, guitar-driven and synth-heavy music rather than one specific subgenre. Fibber Magees has long been a home for Dublin’s rock and metal scene, and its basement room has the low ceilings, dim lighting and heavy sound system that this kind of night depends on.

It is a reliable option for anyone in Dublin looking for something outside the mainstream club circuit - a night built around a specific sound and a specific crowd rather than chart music and a general Saturday-night audience. The venue’s Parnell Street location keeps it central and easy to reach, even if the atmosphere inside is a world away from the O’Connell Street traffic outside.

Getting There

Fibber Magees is on Parnell Street, a short walk from O’Connell Street and the Luas Red Line stop at Abbey Street. Connolly Station is around ten minutes away on foot. The venue is at ground level with a stairway down into the basement room where the night runs, so allow a little extra time getting in and out if the room is busy.

While You’re in Dublin

Parnell Street sits at the northern edge of the city centre, close to O’Connell Street and the Rotunda, with the wider north inner city and its late bars within easy walking distance. There is more to see in Dublin and across Co. Dublin.
