Wexford Nightlife
Wexford is home to fifty or so pubs. The Thomas Moore Tavern in Cornmarket, a true “old man's pub”, is a crowd favourite. In Monck Street, Mackens in the Bullring, the Crown Bar has a solid reputation, and it plays music at weekends. On South Main Street, we can find Finnegans and South 51, which cater to a more urban crowd. The Sky And The Ground, situated in South Main Street, is a great old-style bar which plays modern rock music on Saturdays and traditional Irish music three nights a week. Mary’s Bar, near the Arts Centre, is another great place to visit.
The Centenary Stores, Colony and Exile are the three major nightclubs of Wexford. The Centenary Stores is the most popular one among them, and it remains open quite late every night except on Mondays and Wednesdays. It offers a crowd of great variety, efficient bar staff, a smoking area and good music, although it can get a bit more crowded on Saturday nights. On the quays, the Woodenworks is a great pub. Exile is a nightclub which caters to a much younger crowd, and it is geared more for dancers than drinkers. It has a lively atmosphere, is spacious, and plays catchy tunes. It also acts as a host to many international DJs and bands who often play there.
Numerous other bars such as Chocolate, South 51, Finnegans and Dakota are also open until quite late.
