Entertainment venues which he has created include CAIN at the Cove Atlantis in the Bahamas, GoldBar lounge in downtown New York City and The Surf Lodge in Montauk, New New York are well regarded in nightlife history. Mulholland, a native of South Africa, moved to New York from the Caribbean island of Sint Maarten in the mid-1990s, and took jobs at downtown restaurants, eventually becoming bar manager at the venues Quo, Prime Minister, and Lotus. In 2004, Mulholland, with partner Jayma Cardoso, set up a night club called CAIN in a taxi garage Manhattan"s west side, specializing in "bottle service".
In 2007, Mulholland opened both the GoldBar in New York City’s Nolita and CAIN at The Cove Atlantis on Paradise Island in The Bahamas at the Atlantis Resort.
In 2008, Mulholland, with three other investors, opened The Surf Lodge, a 32-room hotel, night club and restaurant in Montauk, on the eastern end of Long Island. This venue later became the subject of a lawsuit between Edgemere Montauk (the partners" company) and King & Grove, the company hired to manage the lodge.
The noise and crowds brought about by the popularity of the club venue have been the cause of complaints from community members and disagreements about parking and bylaw enforcement. In 2012 Mulholland and the club"s other owners were taken to court, charged with fire and other municipal code violations.
In 2010, the original CAIN night club closed its doors.
In 2012, Mulholland purchased a converted 19th century bank building in New York and opened a night club called Five Nightclub.
