    Anyone know what ever happened to this place?

    Went there once about a year ago but it has since shut and can't find much about its shutting online. Used to be a massive venue. My mates who turned 18 before me or who had ID first said it used to be class when they opened it all up. So many stairs and places to go.

    Been wandering around looking for a dacent (intentionally written) club ever since for a friday/ saturday night but can't seem to find one. Quite the bohemian one might aptly say!

    The Pod group went into receivership over bad loans and was bought out. The complex had yet to be put to use. Last I heard it was going to become another mega club but this time in the Coppers style.

    It was occasionally a good place but suffered from being so large when it declined in popularity - it seemed quite empty at times and the floor plan of the main room was too open. Perhaps it struggled against other venues as dance music became more mainstream.

    I always rather liked Crawdaddy, especially in the days of Antics.

    No chance of getting into the Lost Society if the OP is only 18.

    Been to the Lost Society twice. It's terrible! I was there for C.U.N.T. and on a Friday, I think. Both times were terrible! There does be like a dozen people there!

    You're going to the wrong nights so, it can be packed.

    Try Pygmalion, Twisted Pepper, Grand Social that kinda thing.

    Although I have to agree with you that generally Friday can be a bit sparse at times. I've had a good few Saturday nights out in TP, Pogo.

    I reckon Tripod suffered when it became one mega-venue, instead of keeping it The Pod, The Redbox and the Chocolate Bar.

    Used to love the aul Redbox, getting ourra me box :D

    The tripod complex is being turned into a mega club. it will be called the marquee club. I think with an extra bar called the iveagh

    I am not sure on opening date or where development is up to. but it is progress as far as I know.

    in terms of other dance clubs besides what has been mentioned:

    Andrews lane theatre
    Everleigh Garden
    Madison
    Avenue
    kitchen

    may be worth a shout.

    Bouncers aren't the brightest that work there!

    Everleigh is fairly strict, Madison doesn't have a set age restriction so I've heard they use that too their advantage, and the Kitchen can be "odd" at times, love the place but the crowd can be all over the place. Hate ALT, always have and never been to Avenue.

    I've only been there the once in Pyg, but liked the inside and the music was good ( GERD international act playing the night I went).
    I didn't really notice bouncers... although It was a bitch trying to get served at either bar on the night.

    Surprised no one has mention Dandelion or Alchemy yet. Both are pretty good clubs. Play is one one D'Olier street that I went to twice. Not great but I think it's alright.


    ALT is terrible. 212 moved from ALT to D'Olier street and it's a bit better now.

    The point is ALT is terrible!
