Coppers Nightclub all the free plugs in the media

Don't know if they pay for it, but it's considered a Mecca of late bars by some people, the likes of Joe.ie mention it to get the clicks, it's all about the clicks. Others mention it to appear relevant.

As for staying open late, the Gardai started to enforce the last drinks a while ago along that stretch, it's attached to a hotel so that causes some issues with who is staying there and who isny, along with who the owner is and who he may or may not be friends with.

Most overrated place on earth
Why the hell is it talked about so much? I don't know what I was expecting before I went there the first time going off the way people raved about it, it was such an average club. If you had told me I was actually in Dtwo or diceys or any other club on the street Id have believed it

Sounds like someone didn't get his ride, which is quite unusual

Bit of a dive and you can't even move in the place.

Toilets are vile and staff are some of the most unfriendly I've ever come across.

Always was the way and why I always hated the place.

You're not supposed to come across the staff, they really hate that .......... the nurses, on the other hand, don't seem to mind.

Spat out my tea at that one. Well done sir.

Also having been there twice in Dublin how are they allowed open later than everywhere else

I find the Catholic Church gets a lot of free advertising as well that won't be appearing on the annual accounts.

Does shift mean sex or just going with some girl? Cus I've only been out once down south and it was there and took no one home. It seemed like a really rural nightclub to be in a city. Seemed like a night out in Tyrone or something.

It means kissing.

and yes, it is exactly like a rural nightclub. That is the idea of it. Some bars have themes; Copper's theme is "rural".

It is a terrible experience - Massive queue to get in; horribly packed, terrible service; everyone extremely drunk; smells of piss and puke, talent pretty poor, and too packed/loud to talk to anyone anyway and closes early. Why it's so popular with country people? I have no idea, but assume that, because that is all they are familiar with, they like to stick with it and don't experiment with other places?

As for the "opening late"? Since when. I always thought Coppers closed around 3-ish? That's just late bar hours. There are many far, far, far more civilized establishments in dublin that stay open a lot later than that,but they are not advertised like Coppers, so I'm guessing most country people don't know about them.
