    Back in the day, they had the No name Disco. Usually ran in conjunction with the local guards.

    The local drug dealers done a roaring trade at those ones.

    I'll keep it in mind for a trip in. Couldn't be any worse than some of the traditional nightclubs in the capital.

    This has promise if they open later. Most people at that point would be full but still up for more chatting and dancing... I assume the licensing laws won't need to be followed.

    People have one choice at the weekends and it’s drink and more drink. It’s a time to shift this

    Right.. because up until now everyone who went to a nightclub was forced at knife-point to get pissed drunk

    Oh man, could you imagine the horror of being in a night club sober and knowing how bad you are at dancing...

    Yup alcohol-free doesn't mean drug free. I'd say pill-heads would quite enjoy an alcohol free venue.

    There used to be a place in Liverpool that used to open at 2 am but didn't serve alcohol (this was before the 24hr licensing they have now). Had all the other bells and whistles of a regular nightclub.
    Oh and about half the patrons in there were selling drugs and the other half chewing their own face off!

    Coffee and redbull, we'd see a surge of energetic clowns dancing all night

    Didn't they try a drink free festival last year and about 30 people showed up.
    On the evidence of this weekend's Lovin' Life festival, Ireland is not ready for alcohol-free social events, writes ROSITA BOLAND

    ALL MUSIC festivals have barometers of success. You could call one of them the "burger-ometer": the number of burgers sold to peckish festival goers. By early Saturday evening, the total number of burgers sold at Sligo's Lovin' Life festival, billed as Ireland's first alcohol-free festival, was less than 40, according to Brendan Gillan, who was running the sole burger stall at the event.

    It will be the same with nightclubs.

    How gutted was I when I realised it said "Alcohol-Free Night" and not "Free-Alcohol Night"?

    I'd say it would be cool enough for a look. It's about time there was a late night social scene for the non drinkers in Ireland too.

    What are your thoughts folks?

    What a pioneering idea.

    I reckon if they do the right thing it will do well. The should probably reach out to the underground electronic scene.

    This is a great idea. I just opened a pub in Mayo wit no chairs in it for people that didn't want to sit down, we are doing great lately. Need more ideas like this

    people would just get hammered before going to the disco , like most of us here done prior to entering a alcohol-free teenage disco

    If they keep it open 'til 8am, have a supply of free water and play house music, i'm sure they'll have no problem attracting a certain clientele.

    remember the old cidona teenage discos? everyone was locked anyways, just did the damage before hand. i can imagine how boring it would be, the only reason i go to clubs is to get smashed and talk sh!te. heaven forbid we might end up talking about something serious.
