Planning the Christmas night out in Carrigaline? This is *the* spot to book

By Yay Cork October 21, 2026October 19, 2026

Brought to you by Mabel Lane. 

Their Bad Santa Brunch sells out every year.

So if you don’t want to be the Grinch in your office or friend group come December, now is the time to get your Christmas party plans in the bag ahead of the festive frenzy at Mabel Lane, Carrigaline.

There’s plenty happening throughout the festive season, with some of Ireland’s best bands playing live every weekend.

Whether you’re planning a big night out with friends or a festive get-together with colleagues, there’ll be finger food, BBQ and à la carte dining options, along with reserved areas for groups looking to make a night of it.

And with Santa coming to town, there’s a little Christmas magic for good measure.

If you’re looking for something a bit different this year, the Bad Santa Brunch on Saturday, November 28th could be just the ticket, offering a fun twist on the usual festive celebrations. Christmas jumpers are actively encouraged.

Tickets have just gone live (over here, FYI) and include bottomless Prosecco and mimosas (1pm to 2.30pm), a delicious brunch spread, and a lineup of entertainment that includes a live DJ and Music Bingo from 1pm to 4pm on the day.

They’ll also be unleashing a selection of Mabel Lane cocktail specials if you want to keep the party going (you will).

Christmas feasting, Mabel Lane style 

Whether you’re visiting with a group or just after a little Christmas date night, Mabel Lane’s Christmas specials menu will give you all the necessary seasonal feels.

We’re talking festive burgers (char-grilled turkey fillet topped with honey-glazed pulled bacon, cranberry and chestnut stuffing, topped with creamy Brie cheese – all nestled in a toasted brioche bun with cranberry mayonnaise and fresh spinach and served with house fries and a rich dipping gravy.

Feast your eyes on this bad boy:

Gift vouchers are also available, making them a handy option for anyone looking to give a night out as a present. Who knew you could get most of your Christmas shopping done over a few pints?

With party bookings, live music and plenty of outrageously good food and drink to enjoy, it’s shaping up to be a busy festive season – provided you’ve got your table reserved in advance.

Tickets for the Bad Santa Brunch at Mabel Lane are available now here. 

Planning a party? Let Mabel Lane bring the fun! Get in touch to book your spot, they’ll take care of the good times. Visit mabellane.ie for further information.
