The Voodoo Lounge

The Voodoo Lounge

The Voodoo Lounge was a Dublin city club and music venue, based on Arran Quay in the increasingly trendy Smithfield region near Dublin City Center. A mainly rock-based venue, it also played host to internationally touring metal and punk bands.

Like the nearby The Dice Bar, it was owned by Hugh Morgan, singer for New York band The Fun Lovin' Criminals. This is said, by the band, to be a reason for the venue selling pizza slices - they enjoyed Dublin night-life, but disliked the relative scarcity places selling good pizza slices and so opened both a pizzeria attached to the existing Temple Bar venue Eamonn Doran's and the Voodoo Lounge.

The Voodoo Lounge hosted a mainly "alternative" crowd, and was popular with a variety of musical and youth subcultures.It's alternative atmosphere was advanced further by it's hosting of [http://www.nimhneach.ie/ Dublin city's only regular fetish and BDSM club] . The effect of playing host to such a mix of different "alternative" groups, without being heavily dominated by any one of them, produced a hip reputation and an atmosphere that contrasted with many other Dublin clubs.

As of May 2008 The Voodoo Lounge is closed,

"Voodoo Lounge" is also a 1994 album by the Rolling Stones.
