10Best Says

The Academy is one of Dublin's biggest dedicated venues that includes vast space for performes and dancers alike. While there is usually a range of artists and bands taking to its stage, the weekends are usually dedicated to club nights that take their music seriously and cater to more alternative music tastes. The atmosphere is electric and the dancefloor is spacious and well ventilated - you might find it hard to leave.
