    Is there a dress code in the night clubs in Galway. Can you wear white runners and tracksuit and hoody? I was out of society for a long time and I am just back.

    Depends how good the nightclub is. I once saw somebody in Carbon wearing fat pants and slippers. Places like CP's are more jeans and t-shirt rather than hoodies and trackies.

    In the days of Cuba, you could easily get in with a hoodie and a pair of runners. As far as I'm aware, you'd be hard pushed getting into CPs, Halo and Karma the same, though I might be wrong. Not fully sure about Carbon. So yeah, things have changed.

    Depends if the bouncer is on the blob or not. Places like Karma and CPs are the worst for "dress codes" though.

    Anybody who wants you to wear shoes to a f***ing nightclub needs to catch a grip of themselves.

    none of the nightclubs have a dress policy. Except exempting Trackies/fat man pants. Generally for guy, as long as your wearing runners/shoes jeans/suit pants/ chinos and any type of top you'll be let in.

    Except for Halo which is over 21/23 and is a bit more dressy.

    Not so back in 2004-2006'ish time when it was the most popular club, long queues every night. People trying to get in by 12 for free with their Cuba Card!

    They were especially strict about runners, no hope getting in! I suppose if they're going to fill they place they can afford to be a lot fussier who they let in.

    Smart runners are ok for a lad in a nightclub. Women should never wear runners out under any circumstances.

    Not so, CP are notorious for turning people away with runners/sports tops. You might get away with black ones that are cut like shoes, but I've seen loads of people turned away with white runners & rugby shirts.

    People shouldn't be let into town wearing tracksuit never mind a nightclub (hoodies are fine but not for going to a night club).

    That's horse s**te in fairness. Nothing wrong with wanting to look a bit more dressed up by wearing shoes. I might wear proper dressy looking runners an odd time going to a club but in general it would be shoes.

    I dont understand peoples desire not to make a bit of an effort when going out. I really enjoy buying decent clothes and wearing them on nights out.

    You will get into cp's and halo wearing runners once you are dressed well otherwise and your not wearing nike air max or something like that. As I said Id almost always wear shoes going out but Ive had no trouble getting into Halo with runners the once or twice I tried.

    You are impressing nobody. Have you seen the clubs in Galway? There is nothing classy about them. You're not going to a f***ing wedding, you're just going out with your mates to have laugh and a few drinks. Why am I going to wear good shoes, so they can get trampled over in the smoking area, have drinks spilt on them inside and so I can wade through puddles of piss in the jacks?

    Okay Gok Wan, if wearing a simply fabulous pair of shoes makes your night complete then by all means, work it sister. I prefer the socialising aspect of an night out.

    My monocle fell out in horror at the idea of people not wearing top hats and 3 piece suits into nightclubs

    I've often got in wearing black runners, but I've seen lots sent away for having white trainers e.g. nike airs/addidas/reebox.

    My brother was refused not so long ago for wearing a munster rugby jersey.

    Ah come on now Im not talking about wearing a suit and a pair of dressy shoes, on a typical night out I would wear a decent pair of jeans, nice shirt or polo shirt and dubarry shoes. I wouldn't even call it dressing up its just getting dressed to go out as opposed to getting dressed to go to the shop or to watch a match.

    I dont have a hard and fast rule at all, but some people dont make any effort at all and then wonder why they cant get into a night club in a tattered old pair of runners and a crappy t-shirt.

    By the way I didnt say wearing runners is completely out, just they need to be tidy looking ones but in general I just prefer shoes on a night out, I wear runners to work all week so its nice to get the shoes out for the weekend.

    I can understand not letting in people in jerseys as it has the potential to cause hassle, on the runner front I think its a good excuse for bouncers to turn people away if they did'nt want to let them in anyway so I wouldn't blame the runners in all cases. Like I've got into both places in the past in white runners with no hassle.

    The less knackerish you look the more you can get away with items of knacker clothing.

    Cant blame them for the munster stuff lad, black and green

    While you can get away with not dressing up as much as this lad/ at all depending on your normal wear, it is completely fine to wear what he just said as long as it isnt carbon/coyotes or club k, the holes. dubes, jeans and a decent polo shirt are completely legit.

    In fairness Bhosca Grow up.

    There was one upon a time probably around 06 where to get into a nightclub you had to wear shoes. you weren't getting in unless you looked like you'd put in some effort. unlike some people now days who look like they havent changed there clothes in two days.

    Besides dressing well good impression with women.

    Probably the most fashionable casual shoe imo, much nicer than most shoes you see around the place.

    Cuba was great if you were just finished work and you felt like going out clubbing. Just throw on a hoodie over your work clothes and out you go!
