    Number 8 watergate is the best club I've ever been to. It's just incredible.

    Berghain at number 1 is the hardest club I've ever tried to get into, completely random door policy. You walk up and straight away they say you are not welcome here. I'd say about 7 out of ten people in the queue that night got rejected.

    Berlin is an excellent place to go clubbing. Couldn't believe it the first time I was there. Absolutely amazing.

    Also - got rejected from Berghain.:mad: But its not like there is a shortage of great clubs.

    Well said for the most part, but having read the blurb on NV's website:



    I'm going to have to politely disagree with:

    Their site is hopelessly out of date.
    DJ there last Saturday played Meet Her At The Love Parade and The Launch, for example. Two fantastics tunes I have never heard a DJ in Dublin play before.

    Being honest i would walk out of a club if those tracks were played, i would just know it wasn't gonna be my kind of spot.

    Gotta love music though, something for everyone somewhere.

    I'm not into Dublin's night life what so ever, I'm not a big fan of drinking anyway and only ever do when people ask and apparently the main thing to do when clubbing is getting locked but why would I want to get drunk in front of a load of strangers, possibly make a fool out of myself and get chatted up by said strangers then have them trying to kiss me with their herpes riddled mouths? Also the places are sweatboxes and mainly filled with foreigners and scumbags. Not into it at all... God I'm such a boring eighteen year old :rolleyes:

    it's hard to find an Irish only place these days, there might even be foreigners on boards :eek:

    Just try some of these clubs and you'll realise what a nightclub actually is.

    anyone else read the reviews of these clubs and think to themselves....what a load of utter ****?

    not the clubs themselves so much as the pretentious gimpishness and utter fcukwittery of the reviews


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,207 ✭✭✭jaffacakesyum


    If you don't like nightclubs then don't go. What's the big ****ing problem?

    Ireland + Nightclub = FAIL !!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 132 ✭✭DCUlad


    Exactly, if you don't like nightclubs then stay the feck away from them untill you get a life of maybe even a few friends. Research has indicated that having said life or friends, ideally both, will enhance your nightclub experience.

    There is a number of people here on this that constantly bash nightclubs, its the next common thing after bashing those baxtards in the catholic church.

    I have had some absolute serious nights in nightclubs, some sh1te nights aswell, but ya have to take the rough with the smooth.

    For the people giving out about music, what can a DJ do? he has to play a mix that suits the majority of the crowd. Not a selection that suits the 3 grungers in the corner trying to slit their wrists with broken glass.

    You sound gas

    and a wee bit xenophobic?

    I was in a club at the weekend sober.

    It would have been ****e if i wasn't in for the shift.

    Drunk people are annoying.

    I would love to see a nightclub full of sober people with the odd drunk roaming around!

    I honestly can't see how anyone can enjoy the places.

    **** music, over priced booze, getting ripped off at the door all on top of having to pay some racist taxi driver a fortune to drive you home for fifteen minutes.

    Seriously... why?

    What's even more confusing are the people in the places. I swear, some of them think they're in some epic club in the heart of LA or NYC. You're in a glorified basement of some half-rate pub that's having its seventeenth 're-opening launch party'. ...

    Then there's the obligatory people yammering on about 'last night' and who did what and what happened. Oh you should be so proud of yourself having vomiting twice, getting escorted from the place by the bouncers, fighting or whatever...

    Grand places if you want a ride all the same... Avoid them like the plague though!

    Is somebody forcing you to go? Alot of people love them hence why they are packed out alot of the time.

    Well what can I say? I am, I'm hilarious :p

    No not at all, I just don't like them on a night out because the majority of them are perves :o

    Oh and to the people saying don't go and such like, I don't anymore :)

    Only reason I go to a nightclub is to get ****faced and if Im lucky the ride other then that there not great.

    Live music venues FTW :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 273 ✭✭Tehachapi


    The whole €2 cloakroom charge really pisses me off.

    Whatever about charging for drinks, etc, I can get over that but there's some clubs in Dublin that actually force you to use the cloakroom - "Can't leave your coat lying around it's a fire hazard". Like seriously f**k off.

    Woah, you're missing the point of your own argument. ALL nightclubs are sh*te. No matter where you are.

    I would only grace a nightclub with my presence every few months or so. One thing is dislike about nightclubs are the smart casual dress policy. I dress "smart casual" on an everyday basis and when i go on a night out i usually wear a blazer or slacks and a fine shirt. People in some night clubs seem to think those horrid check shirts and round neck t-shirts with a brand name on them is "Smart Casual". I dont mind being the best dressed person there but make an effort FFS :confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 810 ✭✭✭Laisurg


    Well some are pretty good i think but some just need to be burnt to the ground, eg 21s and coppers.

    OP, go out to a decent club playing some deep house or dubstep with some good mates, dress nicely, take some MDMA (Not E, yokes or other ****, pure mdma) and have the best time ever. You'll probably pull too as you'll be talking to everyone in the place, inc pretty ladies :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,027 ✭✭✭St.Spodo


    You're going to the wrong nightclubs.

    any club that has a dress code is pure ****. fact.

    if i can't get into a club in the clothes i fell into that morning then i can guarantee it's not worth it
