Club night/Nightclubs in the city??

sporina

Right - I am in the midst of having Covid - but soon as I can, I wanna go dancing... i'm over 23!!! Would love 80s/90s or good House music..

Where can one go clubbing nowadays?

i am so out of touch with whats on in the City Clubbing wise..

Use to just go to The Crane Lane..

TIA

The house music in Chambers isn't bad, way better than the mediocre pop music they used to play years back.

Late bars are are good as it gets, the proper clubbing scene has been hollowed out years ago. Maybe 2 or 3 places left.

Clubs, off the top of my head Secret Garden, Voodoo Rooms.

Late bars the usual, Crane Lane/Arthur Maynes, Old Oak, Chambers as mentioned, the Brog, Bodega, black dog.

ofcork

Afaik Voodoo and secret garden/ whatever havanas is called these days are the only 2 cllubs left dont know whats the story is on tuckey street.

was never a fan of Reardens/Havana B's.. so might skip SG.. Voodoo Rooms.. will look into it.. might be a bit young for me..

Chambers hits all the right notes

Mid bar in Crane Lane is an old reliable - but I want 80's cheese lol..

I don't think The Bodega has a dance floor anymore.. no dance floor in any of the other places mentioned..

ofcork

Yeah no dancefloof in bodega i believe anymore soho another late bar as well.

Another thing that hasn't moved with the times, places having to get a licence for dancing. ffs like.

Lot of places discouraging dancing with tables and other obstructions in case they get sued.

ofcork

Always found it strange pubs could get a dancing licence with no dancefloor as such.

I always found the DJ in crane lane absolutely shocking. He'd play Nirvana, then some funk song, then some other random genre. One time I just walked out when he played Teenage Dirtbag right after playing some decent dance tune. The crowd were just looking at eachother saying wtf? Ruined the buzz. He / she is all over the place.

Which nights do the do house music in Chambers?

sporina

no idea.. not been yet

Cuprus Avenue

Crack Jennys

Spailpín Fánach

The above are "event spaces" so to speak, and have gigs of a wide variety of genres, including house music.

Chambers, to my knowledge, is not necessarily a music venue. Rather it's primarily a LGBT community venue that happens to play house music.

Saturday would be the best bet for House music @sporina

never hear of Crack Jenny's - what is it exactly and where?

hans aus dtschl

A bar/venue on 8 lavitts quay.

Many of the house nights may well be invite-only (private parties).

They're having an acid/techno night this Friday.

really?

hans aus dtschl

Yep it's their event space, so they decide who enters. Some parties are invite only. I'm not sure whether all are invite only.

Nothing whatsoever to do with me. I just happen to know people who have attended.

And they may have good reasons for it, along the lines of not wanting to employ a load of door staff perhaps.

I'm reasonably confident that some/many nights are not invite only: just show up.
