Pygmalion, commonly known as "Pyg," is a renowned nightclub and bar located at 59 William St S in the heart of Dublin, Ireland. The venue opened its doors in 2009, quickly establishing itself as a pivotal force in Dublin’s nightlife scene. Housed within the historic Powerscourt Townhouse Centre, Pygmalion blends Georgian architectural charm with contemporary music culture, making it a unique fixture in the city's social landscape.

Over the years, Pygmalion has garnered a reputation for its forward-thinking music programming, vibrant atmosphere, and innovative cocktail menu (including the much-loved "Pygtails"). Its cultural significance stems not just from being a popular late-night destination but also from its central role in bringing cutting-edge house, techno, and electronic music to Dublin. The venue has become a hub for both music lovers and creators, fostering a sense of community among Dublin’s creative youth and international visitors alike.

As of now, Pygmalion remains at its original location but has consistently evolved through subtle refurbishments and expansions, enhancing seating, sound systems, and DJ booths to maintain a fresh, immersive experience. The outdoor terrace, in particular, has become a city favorite for al fresco gatherings, especially during summer months. Pygmalion's ability to curate quality lineups and contribute to the city's nightlife economy have solidified its standing as one of Dublin’s most influential clubs.

Notable artists who have performed at Pygmalion include international acts such as Kerri Chandler, Ben Klock, Groove Armada, Shanti Celeste, Honey Dijon, Gerd Janson, Midland, and Hunee, alongside leading local talent like Sunil Sharpe, Eve, and DeFeKT, making it a regular stop on the touring circuit for both established and emerging DJs.
