The Workmans Club, nestled at 10 Wellington Quay in the heart of Dublin 2, has established itself as one of the city’s preeminent nightclubs and live music venues since its opening in 2010. The venue is situated on the south bank of the River Liffey in the bustling Temple Bar district, occupying a Victorian-era building steeped in history, previously home to the original Workingmen's Club, which was a cornerstone of the area's social life for decades. With an atmospheric interior that pays homage to its industrial heritage while blending modern artistic sensibilities, The Workmans Club has garnered a strong reputation for championing independent music and creativity.

Its intimate yet vibrant setting attracts both up-and-coming local acts and internationally renowned artists, providing an essential platform for artistic experimentation and cultural exchange. Over the years, the club has maintained its original location and much of its unique structural character, periodically updating its façade and interior spaces to enhance the experience for artists and patrons alike. The addition of a rooftop bar and the expansion of gig spaces have further cemented its status as a dynamic nightlife and cultural hub.

The venue is especially noted for fostering a sense of community among musicians, artists, and fans—helping launch the careers of numerous Irish talents and serving as a favorite stop for touring bands due to its discerning audiences and electrifying atmosphere. It is widely revered for its diverse programming, spanning indie, electronic, rock, folk, hip-hop, and experimental genres, alongside regular comedy, poetry, and club nights, making it a linchpin in Dublin’s creative scene. Notable artists who have performed at The Workmans Club include international acts such as Ed Sheeran, Hozier (in his early days), John Grant, Courtney Barnett, Wolf Alice, and Kate Tempest; as well as acclaimed local talents like Fontaines D.
