At Voodoo Rooms · 74 Oliver Plunkett Street, Cork City, Co. Cork
Cork in July calls for a proper night out, and Voodoo Rooms delivers one of the more enjoyable formats going: a Casino Night themed Summer Social that covers food, drinks, live music and club entry in a single ticket. The evening suits groups who want a structured start to a night rather than the usual pre-drinks scramble, and the all-in price takes the guesswork out of the spend. It runs from 7pm to 11pm with live music before the club takes over, so it works for people who want to leave before midnight just as well as those planning to stay the full stretch.
The Casino Night is the second event in Voodoo Rooms’ 2026 Summer Socials series - following a Race Night in June and ahead of a Games Night in August. The format is consistent across all three: your ticket covers complimentary party food, complimentary drinks, live music entertainment from 7pm to 11pm, and full entry to Voodoo Rooms nightclub.
The casino theming sets the tone for the evening without demanding that anyone knows how to play poker. Think roulette wheels, card tables and the general atmosphere of a glamorous evening rather than a strict gambling night. It is the kind of theme that gives a work do or a birthday group something to dress up for.
The venue itself spans three floors and more than 15,000 square feet. There is a retro bar on the first floor, a main dance floor and VIP booths on the second, and the rooftop - Cork’s largest - on the third. The rooftop had a full refurbishment ahead of the 2026 summer season, so it is in good shape for July evenings. Groups looking to book together or arrange something specific can contact the team directly at social@voodoorooms.ie.
