It happens to us all.

There comes a point — somewhere between your first lower-back twinge and your second kid  — when the idea of going clubbing starts to make you feel tired before you’ve even said yes to the invite.

The queues! The warm drinks! The interminable wait for chips at 2:45am. Ugh.

Enter Club 30: the evening-only Cyprus Avenue club night that understands what we, the battle-hardened, the well-moisturised, the over-30s, truly want. Namely: a dance floor, bangers we recognise, cocktails that don’t come in a novelty bucket, and — crucially — the ability to be home at a decent hour.

The Women’s Little Xmas Edition happens on Saturday, January 3rd, with doors at 6pm until 10pm.

Here, you can throw shapes to the hits of the 80s, 90s, and 00s — yes, the music you can actually dance to — without feeling like the ghost of Christmas past haunting a student house party.

And if you need a breather (because you are wise now, and pacing yourself is sexy), you can slip up to Wavelength, the rooftop bar where the cocktails are cold, the vibes are warm, and the DJ spins the kind of cheesy party favourites you only admit you love after two margaritas.

Best of all? It’s strictly 30+. Just grown-ups having a grown-up amount of fun, and still getting home before midnight like the responsible legends we are.

So dust off your dancing shoes, stretch your calves, and reclaim your weekend. Club 30 is calling — and honestly, it’s the most fun you’ll have while still being in bed at a reasonable hour.

Tickets are €11 now over here.
