    Alright, where do the cool kids go of a friday night removing the following from the equation for the following reasons:

    1) Anseo. Too busy / too popular / always the same music
    2) Whelans. Too busy / too popular / haven't changed their playlist since 1856
    3) Toast. Full of off-duty civil servants in loafers and tucked-it shirts dancing to a succession of painfully obvious tripe played by 40 year old 'DJ Barry' (I sh1t you not).

    So where's hip, but not too wanky, plays good music but isn't completely jammers.

    Suggestions please....

    To be honest i wouldn't restrict yourself to going to a pub. If you want to try Doyles, or maybe Eamon Dorans, depending on what age you are really. The best advice is probably just to stroll around and walk randomly into a place.

    Toast is in Rathmines, home of the Culchie. Avoid.

    Ha Ha. Too far for me anyway. What, is it like a student bar? I wouldn't know where to be going these days. Not Copper Face Jacks though! Once was enough for me! :eek:

    Thomas Reades on Dame St. is a good spot. There's a few different areas you can choose between, and then later on you can go downstairs into 'The Oak'. Late DJ, good tunes, and it's generally not too busy.

    Alternatively, you could head to Isoldes Tower down the road, just off Parliament St. Free in, serves till 4am, and it's always a good laugh.

    If you don't mind being in the company of gay men/women, then you should head into The Front Lounge. It's my favourite pub in Dublin at the moment. Nice relaxed atmosphere, cool music, and opens till 1.30am (I think)..

    Kev.
