The Haven Nightclub, Belmullet

What to Expect

The Haven is billed as Belmullet’s premier nightclub and is the town’s only dedicated late-night dance venue, serving the wider Erris peninsula rather than just Belmullet itself. It runs on weekend nights with doors typically opening around midnight, later than the earlier-opening late bars found in the county’s bigger towns. DJ Damo provides the regular music, with the venue covering a range of genres from live bands through to DJ sets rather than sticking to one style. Because Belmullet and the Erris area are more remote than Castlebar, Westport or Ballina, The Haven functions as the main reason for a night out without a long drive for people living across the peninsula.

Good to Know

• Doors typically open around midnight on weekend nights
• Over-18s only, with photo ID required at the door
• DJ Damo is the venue’s regular DJ
• The venue also runs TeenHaven, a separate under-18s event on Friday evenings from 8:30pm to 11:30pm, entirely distinct from the adult nightclub night
• Contact the venue on 097 20600 to confirm the current weekend schedule, since exact opening nights can shift seasonally
• As the only dedicated nightclub in Belmullet, it draws visitors from across the Erris peninsula rather than just the town
• This is a recurring weekend fixture rather than a single date; the date above marks the next likely Friday or Saturday opening

Belmullet sits at the far end of the Erris peninsula, a good distance from Mayo’s other nightlife towns, so The Haven carries more weight locally than a single nightclub would in a town closer to Castlebar or Westport. For anyone travelling out along the Wild Atlantic Way and staying overnight in the area, it’s effectively the only late option once the pubs wind down, which keeps it busy on the nights it opens even without the density of competing venues found further south in the county.

Getting There

The Haven is on Ballina Road in Belmullet, on the edge of the town, with parking available for anyone driving in from surrounding parts of the Erris peninsula.
