Best club in Dundalk for late 20s

Old Bawn

I'm 29 and new to the Dundalk area. I know there are old posts on this subject, but I figured Dundalk may have changed since 2006!

Wondering what the best club would be for someone my age, preferably in Dundalk, but possibly Navan or Drogheda otherwise?

The Bridge club would be good for someone as old as you. Poker is probably too exciting and might give you a heart attack.

Ridleys is the only club for anyone over 20 really and unless its a Fri or Sat night is usually full of 16/17/18 year olds.

Silence is always full of 16-21 year olds, You wouldnt find too many over 22 in it

The Garden/Eden beside Ridleys would have an older crowd (only opens till 1) or Brubakers, although since it re-opened they seem to have got the clientele from Good Time Chariles, i.e its full of scumbags

They done it up, Stayed open for most of the renovations but was closed for a 1 or 2 weekends if Im not mistaken.
Anyway since it has been done up, them seem to be letting a rougher/younger crowd in every night.
It use to be full of mid/late 20's, now its full of kids and scumbags

What about pubs/late bars for 30yo+ people on Friday night after racing? Don't like clubs.

What are you looking for ?

Quiet ? Band ? Disco bar? Packed bar with decent people?

Any type really. Just don't like night club type places.

Brubakers is a kinda Disco bar job. I don't personally rate it and find the locals not to my liking.

Courtneys is my favour of the season. Was in there recently with friends and had a great night. Band playing and really cool people in there.

Beer Keeper, grand spot, generally empties out into Ridleys though during the weekend but good music and good people.

Kennedys, nice for a good pint with a decent bunch in there.

Spirit Store, hit and miss sometimes. You may get a great bunch of people if there's a band on or it may be completely isolated. Just check their website for some idea as to whats happening. By far my favourite watering hole in town though.

The Darkroom

It depends on what kind of lad you are. Brubakers is hit and miss, courtneys is a good spot, beer keeper and spirit store are usually reserved for the indie, grunge, death metal and overly opinonated/philosophical type so I'd avoid there unless you're going to see a band then straight back into town again ( from the spirit store at least ). but if you hate TV and normal day to day chats and love to have a conversation on why the moon revolves around the earth then by all means go to the spirit store. Castletown bar is good for the pool and has a lot of your age group in it and ridleys is a good spot as well. I'd avoid silence.

Wow, somebody piss in your pint Darkroom?

No but if they did, it would probably taste better than what half the pubs in town dish out on any given weekend.

Toales has live music every weekend, decent crowd and good pints.

Can be a tight squeeze at times in it though.

M.A.G

Toales would be my favourite bar in town too.We don't go out much anymore so when we do it's always Toales or Bartender.Decent people and great pints in both.
