    Depends on what you're looking for OP.
    Ibiza or Berlin for Clubbing, Donegal for riding sheep

    Liverpool is a great city to get messed up in.

    Cheap drink and the women wear nothing no matter the weather!

    It's like an island of nightclubs, very expensive ones at that.

    Want to know from experience what's the best nightlife in Europe for 18-21 year olds?Asked this in travel and might as well have been talking to the wall :rolleyes:

    Right now it's probably Berlin.

    Two good spots close to home would be Bristol and London.

    It largely become the European hub of underground dance music. Tonnes of great clubs, nights and the mighty Berhain.

    Birmingham is very very good. Nearly all the nighlife is handily located on one street (Broad Street), with different themed pubs and clubs.

    Having been there, actually good craic can be had there!

    Berlin is definitely the best nightlife in Europe but I'd say you're too young to get into the best places though.

    Nightlife means different things to different people though......I'd recommend Madrid or Barca as clubs are open to 7 which ain't as good as Berlin but isn't bad!

    Berlin.

    I don't think there's much point in a few Irish lads aged 18-21 going to Berlin. You won't get in to a lot places.

    If you're into minimal, electro and techno and to a lesser extent house, it's got clubs that Ireland could only dream of. Berghain goes on all Saturday night, Sunday morning, afternoon and doesn't finish til around 10pm, sometimes 12am Sunday night.

    It's an experience you'll not likely forget.

    But like I said, 18-21 year olds from Ireland would be wasting their time.

    For pubs, Dublin. Plenty within walking distance of each other and even if you go out on Tuesday night there's plenty of life about.

    Berlin is good if you know where you're going. Getting advice from a local is a good idea as it can be quite daunting at first. I didn't manage to get into any of the superclubs like Watergate or Berghain such is the picky-ness of the door staff. There are particular sets of clients these fancy places are looking for but I did have a good time...

    Amsterdam is tourist central and therefore, anything goes...
    Along with the coffeeshops (if that's you're cup of tea) there are great bars, jazz clubs, prostitutes etc...a real grimy, filth of a place. I love it.

    London is fantastic if you plan ahead. Look online and find out who is gigging, when and where. You can book these "parties" in advance which is always a good idea as nobody is going to turn you away with a ticket in your hand.

    Ibiza wasn't the best in my opinion. It was far too mainstream for my liking and had that 'artificial' atmosphere about the place, complete with scummers who's idea of acceptable night out fashion consists of an England football shirt and dodgy teeth. In fact, the people there when their entire brain capacity are combined just about level out with the intelligence and mannerisms of a small rodent. Rhythm is a dancer? Next...

    There are some great places in Madrid, though it can be comparatively expensive.

    I had a great time in Vienna. There's a whole area packed with pubs and clubs and it was fairly cheap, too.

    Prague's ok, there seems to be a lot of sausage factories there, though.

    Riga or Prague.

    You'd want to have your wits about you in Riga though.
    Plenty of dodgy spots but once you spot it and get out of there fast , you'll be ok.
