Address: 7-8 Harry St, Dublin 2, IE
Established in 1886, this café, bar, and lounge is bustling with a lively crowd both early and late. Downstairs is the place to be if you are looking for loud music and dancing. If you are a little more laid-back, upstairs is slightly calmer. You have to make a visit to the Georgian-style building even if you don't want a drink just to watch the...

Spacious and airy with a long row of...

Any stylish celebrity or mogul in town would head first to Lillie's, where many people are turned away, especially on weekends. Known around town as one of the top pick-up bars and also for the impossibly attractive staff (male and female), this spacious dance club probably has the broadest array of specialty nights to keep visitors entertained....

Floors of attractive space, the best of Irish pubs (great beers and convivial, traditional atmosphere) and the modern concept of the brewpub come together to make a terrific place! A selection of commercial beers you can't get at most pubs and fantastic beers brewed in-house. Try the Wrassler of the Porterhouse Porter. Because the space is so...

A locals' favorite near the Ha'Penny Bridge, Pravda combines comfortable atmosphere with an interesting but not overbearing theme: Russia. The Pravda is a fairly authentic looking version of a Russian bar with wide-open rooms, curvy Cyrillic script decorating the walls, and an ornately carved bar serving lots of vodka-based drinks. Dark and...

Address: 6-8 Wellington Quay, The Clarence Hotel, Dublin 2
Impossibly hip and owned by Dublin's favorite sons, U2, The Kitchen is located in the basement of the elegantly minimal Clarence Hotel. Legend has it that there is a river that runs beneath the city of Dublin, and that this club is built on top of it. Regardless of the legend, you will find that there is a small moat around the dance floor! Monday...

Address: 37-38 Ormond Quay Lower, Dublin, IE
This massive, lavish dance club and bar has stayed faithful to its posh, oasis-style, vaguely Middle Eastern theme. It has tons of huge palm trees, ornate hanging lights, a gilt-touched bar that seems about a mile long, a pulsating, laser-lit dance floor, and an open area upstairs for viewing the whole parade. With a chic, well-dressed crowd...
