    It was better when it was west, you could watch Saturday football and stay on a bit later if you liked, and you could see out.

    Maybe it's going to be turned into an Eastern Europe night club!

    I think the best place outside M50 ring is ARC in Lucan.
    They have 3 Euro all pints 10-12pm - THAT's BARGAIN!!
    The crowd is a bit youngster, but not agressive like it was in Light,
    food great, music trendy.

    is this in the Clarion hotel?

    ARC is the big glass building next to the Clarion.

    Apart from being next to each other, its nothing to do the the hotel.

    PUB CHAIN JD Wetherspoon have bought another pub in Dublin, bringing their total in the city to four.
    The company said this morning it has bought the former Light Nightclub in Blanchardstown – a large premises on the Westend Commercial Village site.
    It marks an expansion into west Dublin for the chain, which opened its first Irish pub in Blackrock earlier this year and has taken over two more premises in Dun Laoghaire and Swords.
    With four pubs, the company will become a significant player on the capital’s nightlife scene. The famous Chawke pub group currently owns six pubs, while the Smith group owns seven. The Louis Fitzgerald group lists 16 Dublin pubs on its website.
    Wetherspoon’s chairman Tim Martin told DailyEdge.ie earlier this year that Irish pubs need “more competitive prices” to survive. The company’s Irish price list was widely shared on social media last month.
    The chain said it plans to invest €3million in converting the Light Nightclub into a large pub. Here’s a video from the club in former days:

    Be interesting to see what they do with it.

    A sports bar would be a obvious one, show sports from America if they get a late licence.

    I think with the Bell/Clonsila a pay in night club isnt going to work. Why pay in to something you can get free,especially if it means a taxi from said pubs then pay in.

    They do tend to reflect the local area, some are good some are bad. I do think this is a win for the average pub consumer, you can go out and have a few pint and have change in you pocket

    A bit unfair. It'll attract many that want to have a good variety of beers and ales, as well as families out for a bit of lunch.

    A sports bar would be awful, not that it's going to happen. But sports bars are the worse for going for a pint in.

    The Budda Bar is closed about ten years at this stage so I think the same clientele won't be around for weekend pints ;) The area has changed a lot in that time, it'll be interesting to see how it does. I'd say it will get off to a great start anyway, there isn't a huge variety of places in the area as far as going for a few drinks goes and it's in a good location for shoppers, office workers, students, cinema-goers etc.

    Very true, most are likely on holidays now

    I hope it does well, seems it covers all with drink, coffee and food, never a bad thing to have a choice to go somewhere new and hopefully better

    So Light / Heaven / West / Whatever flavor of the month ( :p ) is finally closed. Surprised it took so long tho as so many other clubs in Dublin have gone over the years. Never thought Q-Bar would ever go with the ques you'd see outside the place.

    The OP was posted in April 2013, when it actually closed :P

    Just resurrected today as Wetherspoons are said to have purchased it.
