The Voodoo Lounge is a Dublin city club and music venue, based on Arran Quay in the Smithfield region near Dublin City Center. A mainly rock-based venue, it also plays host to internationally touring metal, punk and dance acts.
Like the nearby , it was owned by Huey Morgan, singer for New York band The Fun Lovin' Criminals. This is said, by the band, to be a reason for the venue selling pizza slices—they enjoyed Dublin night-life, but disliked the relative scarcity of places selling good pizza slices and so opened both a pizzeria attached to the existing Temple Bar venue Eamonn Doran's and the Voodoo Lounge.[citation needed]
The Voodoo Lounge hosted a mainly "alternative" crowd, and was popular with a variety of musical and youth subcultures.[citation needed] Its alternative atmosphere was advanced further by its hosting of Dublin city's only regular fetish and BDSM club. The effect of playing host to such a mix of different "alternative" groups, without being heavily dominated by any one of them, produced a hip reputation and an atmosphere that contrasted with many other Dublin clubs.[citation needed][original research?]
The Voodoo Lounge premises was later used as a card club where primarily poker was played. It was known as Voodoo Card Club.
The Voodoo Lounge reopened as a cafe, bar and music venue in April 2013.
Voodoo Lounge is also a 1994 album by the Rolling Stones.
