The Fence Nightclub & Cocktail Bar - Weekend Nights Mullingar

The Fence Nightclub and Cocktail Bar on Oliver Plunkett Street in Mullingar runs live bands and DJs six nights a week, with Thursday to Saturday the busiest late-night stretch. The bar blends a cocktail-and-gin list with a nightclub-style late bar. Live bands take the room most nights, and DJs take over for the later hours on weekends, alongside a Tuesday pub quiz.

What to expect

Expect a night that shifts through the evening: an earlier live-band set gives way to DJs as the night goes on, set against a bordello-themed interior and a cocktail and gin list the venue built its early reputation on. Thursday to Saturday is the core late-night run, when the room fills for both the bar trade and the later dancefloor crowd. Tuesday’s pub quiz is a separate, quieter fixture for anyone after something less loud. The Fence has positioned itself as one of the venues in Mullingar that keeps live bands as a regular booking rather than moving to an all-DJ format, and hen parties and private groups are a regular part of its weekend trade alongside the general late-night crowd.
