A Hub Not a Pub

From the start, the plan was to create a spot where folks could come together, share ideas, and give a nod to the thinkers, do-ers and local legends of the town hosting all kinds of events. Or put simply, we felt Dundalk was missing something and challenged ourselves to put things on we would enjoy going to!

Everything from packed Sunday markets with local crafty vendors to comedy nights featuring the country’s top acts, kitchen pop-ups by the best chefs in Ireland and
even historic secret gigs by truly iconic bands like The Mary Wallopers.

Here's some of our recurring events to keep an eye out for!

What's happening on the regular?

  • Arts & Crafts Workshops

    Once a month arts & crafts workshops ranging from painting to pottery, or ring making to knitting and everything in between. Check our tickets section for upcoming events. Shoot us a message for large private group workshop enquiries.

  • Dog Day

    We're always super dog friendly but on one Sunday afternoon every other month we go all out! We team up with Dundalk Dog Rescue and donate all proceeds from teas/coffees to them while inviting everyone to bring their dog for a mad lunch. Give us a shout to see when the next one is.

  • Mo's Monday Club

    Free to attend, we got all the best local trad musicians into the pub for a proper hooley every Monday at 9pm. If you're in the bar industry give us a shout & we will get you an industry card for access to special discounts & events!

  • Kitchen Pop-Ups

    We've hosted some of the best chefs and brands from across Ireland right here in Mo Chara on a Tuesday night when we're usually otherwise closed! Check tickets for upcoming events.
