The Magnet, located at 131 Thomas Street in The Liberties, Dublin, is a nightclub that has carved out a unique niche in the city's nightlife scene. Occupying a spot in one of Dublin's most historic and vibrant districts, The Magnet traces its roots to the mid-20th century, though the current iteration is a revival that pays homage to the venue's earlier days as a dancehall and club in the 1970s and 1980s. Back then, The Magnet was renowned for its eclectic mix of disco, soul, and emerging electronic music, quickly becoming a hub for local youth and a springboard for underground music movements.

Over the years, the venue fell into disuse but was revived by a new team of nightlife curators eager to restore its legacy. Their efforts have emphasized not just preservation of the building's storied atmosphere—retaining original architectural details and retro interior flourishes—but also the creation of a platform for forward-thinking musical programming. The Magnet today enjoys a reputation for inclusivity, diverse crowds, and a dedication to quality sound, helping reinvigorate The Liberties as a nightlife destination.

The club has never changed its address but has undergone several refurbishments, with each new iteration layering contemporary design onto its classic bones. The cultural significance of The Magnet lies in its seamless blend of historical reverence and modern sensibility, serving as a nexus for Dublin’s creative communities and music lovers. International and local artists who have performed at The Magnet include: Honey Dijon, David Holmes, Gilles Peterson, Krystal Klear, Sunil Sharpe, Saoirse, Or:la, Mango x Mathman, Sally Cinnamon, and Colleen ‘Cosmo’ Murphy.
