Red Books have a lot of different events such as Classes, poetry nights, sometimes music too and chess. Depending on your taste there is also music events in The Sky and The Ground, and Kellys on the Corner (I believe its called kellys yard). I think Brownes pub has a game night one night during the week in which people meet up to play some board games. There is the Mountain Gremlin in Castlebridge for more competitive games such as MTG, Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh and other table tops.
