    Hi Guys,

    read that the old POD on Harcourt street is to reopen as a Las Vegas style nightclub called the Marquee Club.

    Article in the Herald about it.

    There is a facebook page for it. Anyone any info?

    Great news for Harcourt street and more importantly, jobs for barstaff, waiters, chefs etc. I wish the new owners the best of luck.

    The Odeon is also reopening next month :D

    What's a las Vegas style club?

    A club decorated with a Las Vegas theme?
    Or a club that is ran as if it's in Las Vegas?
    Or something else?

    Edit.

    Never liked the pod, but the ref box was ace. Seen some cracking gigs/ DJ's at that venue.
    is the market for dance clubs in Dublin anymore? They all seem to close down

    Jaysus the Pod... went to see Boyzone there when I was a nipper.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,140 ✭✭✭✭odyssey06


    Now I won't get to say "We're in Vegas baby!"
    :(

    Go on, admit it, you were all thinking it...

    Is it a listed / protected building as the old railway station I wonder?
    I do hope the original structure is kept.

    I remember the POD used to travel up monthly from Clare
    Paddy Sheridan was on the wheels of Steel.

    I still remember when he dropped the tune "The music sounds better with you" by Stardust....

    Happy day's.

    I can't see it been made into offices it's very dark inside.

    They would need to have lights on 24/7.

    It is much more suited to being a nightclub or a concert venue.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,525 ✭✭✭Blut2


    What was it like inside the offices? I can only imagine it being fairly grim with so few windows.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,279 ✭✭✭Dr Brown


    I passed the pod the other day its looks like they are doing building work on it.

    Anyone know if its going to reopen ?

    Read the recent posts on the thread - it is being re-converted to offices. It is not and never will reopen as a nightclub and this has been known for years.

    The entire platform structure and undercrofts, e.g. all of Pod/Tripod/Crawdaddy/Chocolate Bar as was.

    Odeon in the ticket office isn't changing.

    I got excited there. Dublin sucks for clubs these days. The hangar is closing soon and the Tivoli which hosts District 8.
