COMEDY AT THE LIGHTHOUSE – NOVEMBER!

Our monthly Comedy at the Lighthouse returns this November with another cracking double bill featuring two of Northern Ireland’s finest, Lianne McCooey and Darren Matthews.

Lianne brings her brilliantly relatable observations, sharp wit and hilarious take on everyday life, while Armagh’s Darren Matthews has spent the past 15 years entertaining audiences around the world with his quick-fire humour, outrageous stories and infectious energy.

Two fantastic comedians, one intimate room and a whole lot of laughs. It’s what Friday nights were made for!

Grab your tickets and join us for another brilliant night of live stand-up at The Anchor!

🔦 LIGHTS OUT! SAVE THE DATE! 🕯️

One of The Anchor’s most legendary nights is making a return!

Back in 2009, NIE cut the power to The Anchor, plunging the bar into darkness. But rather than call it a night, we lit a few candles, kept the music playing and ended up having one of the greatest nights in the bar’s history!

Well, we’re doing it all over again… on purpose this time!

SAVE THE DATE!
Live music from 6pm until midnight
Candlelight, mighty craic and a proper Anchor atmosphere!

No lights. No frills. Just great music, good company and a night to remember.

HAPPY HOUR 5-7pm… AND BRING A TORCH! 🔦
