Best clubs in Dublin?

Sweegy

Right, We'll there's a few people going up for a concert this Saturday, And me and another lad are heading up for the laugh, Problem is we haven't a clue where the craic is? We were thinking of heading into Spearmint Rhino but don't know where after that? Anyone got suggestions? Both 18..

Cheers.

The George is great of a Saturday night.

Is there a Spearmint Rhino in Dublin?

Not sure about strip clubs but some of my favourite places to go to are Whelans , Bruxelles , Sweeneys , Doyles. They are all rock/indie places.

I'm sorry, not trying to sound funny but I have no idea what club music is.

If you like indie/rock then maybe Whelan's would be an ideal spot?
Previous poster mentioned Doyles and Bruxelles but I'm not sure there is a dancefloor in either of those places. Both great spots for a pint though.

The Twisted Pepper is my personal fav. It's more techno/house.
There's also HUSSLE in the academy on a saturday night!

If you want your Rihanna/Lady Gaga then I hear Coppers is a good place.

I'm sure you'll find something to suit your tastes!

You wont get into 90% of nightclubs and not a chance of getting into spearmint rhino (pretty sure its long gone btw).

Best off posting in the leaving cert forum for advice.

Alright, Thanks!

Don't think I've ever been in a club or pub that's played techno or house.

It's either chart music, indie, rock or coppers which has a musical genre all to itself.

Doyles has a dancefloor upstairs. Bruxelles has a dancefloor downstairs.

Twisted Pepper so. Never had a bad night in there really music wise. It's not a massive "club" but definitely a better spot if you like decent music.

Infact thinking about it after reading awec's post above, I think its probably one of the only clubs the consistently plays house / techno on most nights.

Definitely Twisted Pepper then. http://m.bodytonicmusic.com/events/3006/

Or there's Indietronic just around the corner in the Grand Social. http://www.thegrandsocial.ie/event/indietronic/2013-01-12/

There's an upstairs in Doyle's? Christ, I've been in that place a few times and never knew.
Only in Bruxelles the once and only thing I saw downstairs were the toilets.

Should have gone to specsavers.

Lucky lads, that'll be a great night.

Absolutely love BRTV! My favourite is the 70min Richie Hawtin set.
Discovered him at EP and have been hooked since.
We need a BRTVDublin!!!

If Bodytonic recorded their shows and upped them, that'd be a pretty good equivalent.

Move D was probably my fave. Kind of a Henry's vibe off it, without the omnipresent Chandler chords.

mardybumbum

I'm only 20 mins in but this is a smooth set. Thanks for that.

Would love to go see Blawan myself but I have a ****load of study to catch up and I could only imagine that Sunday would be a write off If I did.

If you like that "funk" vibe of Move D you may be interested in a new night my mate is starting next Fri. https://www.facebook.com/events/137139953107838/?fref=ts

His last gig in Solas was absolutely fantastic. Here's hoping for just as great a night upstairs in Grand Social!

Doyles - go in the door and the stairs are directly in front of you. Upstairs is a dancefloor and another bar.

Bruxelles - go down the stairs and the toilets are straight in front of you. Take a right and you are brought into a bar with a dancefloor that plays charty type music. If you take a left instead of a right you come into another bar that plays rock music, with a pool table etc.

Mr Simpson

Twisted Pepper is your best bet imo. Nice bar, craft beers, mainly house music. Bouncers are sound, just dont turn up locked, you wont get in (especially if your only 18).

Also, bring ID (Garda ID or Passport only).

Go onto their FB or website and try and get guestlist , could save you €5, its normally between €10 and €15 at weekends.
