OFFICIAL: The best nightclub in Ireland has been revealed

Now you know where to go next to paint the town red.

The Wright Venue in Swords, Dublin has been named as the ‘Best Nightclub in Ireland’ after winning the prestigious accolade at the Irish Hospitality Awards 2018. Aside from this overall prize, various other Irish clubs were also acknowledged on the night as several of the awards were split into local regions to ensure "the diverse range of hospitality businesses from across Ireland are recognised for their exceptional work." The Wright Venue, according to its website, was designed "with style in mind" and boasts a world class sound and lighting system which has played host to internationally famous acts such as Duke Dumont, Laidback Luke, Ellie Goulding, Craig David, Martin Garrix, Nicky Romero, Hardwell, 50 Cent and Rihanna, amongst others. The venue has three floors, including a VIP Penthouse Rooftop and Gardens, which provide different music, themes and style. The more private areas can be rented out for parties and corporate events with everything from bottle service to jacuzzis. The nightclub was honoured at the second Irish Hospitality Awards 2018, which welcomed 200 guests at Crowne Plaza in Dublin on Tuesday in a celebration of the Irish hospitality industry. The Irish Hospitality Awards 2018 is a celebration of the success of local professionals and establishments. Irfan Younis, CEO of Creative Oceanic, said: “We are honoured to have welcomed such great finalists and winners representing the Irish hospitality industry at the Irish Hospitality Awards this year." "We are very delighted that we have awarded some of the top contenders of the hospitality industry in Ireland that enhance the country’s reputation nationally and internationally. “We would like to congratulate all finalists and winners for their achievements!” In addition, the awards supported the Make-A-Wish Ireland, whose aim is to grant wishes of children fighting life-threatening conditions.
