Best clubs in Dublin

yourdeadwright

Hey folks
Just wondering what are the top clubs in Dublin these days,
It used to be Lillies, Grafton lounge, Krystal type places where are the now ,i know these places are full of poser's but have a friend from England coming over and these are his type of places,

Are Copan , Sugar Club or House any good ? or any suggestions ,

Sugar Club has some very fun things going on - it's also a really nice venue

That Everleigh Garden place seems to have replaced Krystle as the place for Z list Irish 'celebs' if thats any help.

I like Copan, wouldn't be up there with Lillies/Grafton in terms of stature. Everleigh is a decent spot, over 24's on a Saturday iirc.

actually, this wins!
If they're from England, they'll love it here.
Brought mates from England over once and they couldnt get over it!
Let your mates know it's the best club in Dublin!

Club m or Dandelion.

I like Diceys!

On a separate note:

It's actually so hard to find out anything about the Irish club scene these days. If you do a Google search you get info that could be dated from 2007. There really should be a website dedicated to keeping up with this lark. I've noticed a lot of posts here are to do with "Where should I go on a night out?" which I'm sure can be annoying for frequent posters. There seriously is no other way to get up to date info than asking on here, asking people you know who go out a lot or messaging/ringing each club individually to find out what's up.

It really annoys me.

I worked there, very briefly.
That place is owned by the meanest bastads you will ever meet!

What makes a good nightclub for you?

hungry hippo 4

Its staff, the decor, variety of drinks, people that go there.

Cool funky music and some throwback tunes.

For me , I think Tripod has not been topped by anyone.

I guess 'cool funky music' is open to interpretation but there are a few spots that certainly meet some of that criteria.

I like the Grand Social and the Twisted Pepper. Music is the main thing that matters to me when I'm going to a club and they, along with places like the Button Factory, Sugar Club, Underground, Sweeney's all put on gigs that I enjoy going to.

I much preferred the Tripod when it was the Red Box. Thought it lost most of it's atmosphere when it changed.

I liked the mixture of Pod, chocolate bar and craw daddy!

Yeah I agree they are both good. Sweeneys also.

The Mezz can be fun. Ive nothing against pop music, wait actually I do. I hate it, so anywhere with rihanna playing can go ask me bollleeeex.

The lost society is pretty good. Although some people might view it as full of "hipsters". But everyone I have might there is really nice. Just go midweek as its a premium Venue at the weekends

If you want the "Irish elite", overpriced drink, chart music: Everleigh Garden, Grafton Lounge, Lilies Bordello, Krystle, Vanilla or Madison

If you want somewhere "young": The Palace, D2, Alchemy

If you want alternative tunes, "hipster" crowd, more chilled vibe: The Button Factory, The Twisted Pepper, Lost Society, Pygmallion, The Village, The Grand Social

If you want to pull: Coppers or Leggs ( or any club on this thread after 1-2am)

If you want mixed music, mixed crowd: Diceys, Whelans, Copan, Dandelion, The Village, Howl At The Moon

There once for a 21st, never again!

Another thing about coppers is that doesnt feel like a real night club its as if someone put a bar in their basement and then called it a "night club".
