Halloween at McGraths

A Sanderson Sisters themed drag takeover at McGraths on Halloween night.

McGraths on Lord Street is marking Halloween with a Sanderson Sisters themed drag takeover on Saturday 31 October 2026, from 8pm to 11pm.

If Hocus Pocus is your Halloween film of choice, this is the one for you: a live cabaret from the Sanderson Sisters in a bar known for its resident drag queens and singers.

Price: entry details aren't published, so check with the bar.

Where: McGraths Irish Bar, 87 Lord Street, in the heart of the Rainbow Quarter.

Tip: Halloween is one of the busiest nights of the year in the quarter. Dress up, get there early and plan your route home, as taxis are in demand. If you want a full day of it, the Rocky Horror brunch at Viva runs earlier that afternoon, and Coven Queens plays at Funny Girls the same evening.

Details last checked 8 October 2026. Times and line-ups change, so confirm with the venue before you travel.
