You can even take a piece of the place home with you.

November brought the devastating news that iconic Dublin haunt Lillie’s Bordello would party no longer come the new year.

As January hits its midpoint, the clock is ticking on the last days of the Eamon Dunphy-approved nightspot, with this coming weekend playing host to a farewell bash.

If you’ve ever wanted to own a literal part of the establishment, well, you’re in luck.

‘The Last Hurrah at Lillie’s’ goes down this Saturday 19 January, where all revellers will be issued with a token upon entry that gives them the chance to win a piece of “stunning” memorabilia from the club’s world-renowned VIP section.

The perfect way to relive all that Celtic Tiger-fuelled decadence, right?

Doors open at 10pm with an entry fee of €10, while people have reportedly been travelling from all over the world to be present for this important moment in time.

“We have received a massive outpouring of grief at the closing of Lillie’s,” lamented co-owner David Morrissey.

“Our final party will prove why Lillie’s has remained as one of Dublin’s most iconic nightclubs since the ’90s.

“There has been a huge amount of interest already so please make sure to get down early so you’re not disappointed and get the opportunity to say your goodbyes.”

Fare thee well, Lillie’s Bordello.
