Le Caberet, the Moulin-Rouge inspired club on Cork City’s Washington Street, is set to launch a new LGBTQ+ club night – just in time for the June bank holiday weekend.

The promoters say Slay at Le Cabaret is “all about bringing something fresh, fun, and full of variety back to the city”, with a different artist, theme, and DJ each month. Local singer-songwriter Ger Ahern will open this month’s night on Sunday 31st of May, followed by a DJ spinning a mix of classic anthems.

Early bird tickets are €8 each and available from Eventbrite. It’s an over 22s venue and ID is required for entry.

Le Cabaret is one of a number of bars in the city owned by Reardens Group, who also run Reardens, The Secret Garden and The Hidden Attic.

The bar, which sits above Reardens (formerly Havanas), is being described as a “a place where stories are born & memories are created!” You can catch a whole host of entertainers, from comedians to burlesque dancers, performing here.

Organisers Chris and Johnathon said “We are two people on the gay scene for years who want to bring a bit of variety back to Cork’s gay scene.”

Wilde, which opened on Oliver Plunkett Street, is currently the only gay nightclub in Cork city, and busy most weekends.
