Well my memory is just as **** as yours but I feel it was upstairs in the Parnell Mooney 20 years ago. A rave cave.

Was a regular there for a period. Used to get a weird crowd from punks to metalheads. Up the top of OConnell Street on the right hand side. Just around the corner from Fibber Magees.

Yeah, it was on one of he top floors, I think and it was a midweek night from what I can remember. Attracted a crowd not dissimilar to fibbers. It was dark and dingy but also quite good.

Interesting that most if not all posts are in the past tense.

I remember it as a weekend venue,probably saturday night if memory serves me correctly.it used to draw in the strangest crowd I always thought.I wonder does it still exist under a different name.someone mentioned mcgrath.is that a pub?

Fusion in ‘Drawdaa’ was one of the best clubs in Ireland late 90’s into early 00’s

Never in the Dublin one. I think an old pub on Townsend st was called the fusion bar for a while in 90’s ( whole block knocked down now)

Glad I lived through 2000-2008 when there was a renaissance of sorts in the Dublin club scene. Clubs like Spirit, Redbox, The Vaults had the great and the good of dance music every week.

We used to go on a Sat night. You would get in free if you rubbed a bit of dirt from a car exhaust on the back of your hand :pac:
