Non pretentious late night spots of Dublin

    So I'm heading out this weekend in town, normally I'd just go to a local (or mostly stay home!) and on the off chance I'd actually go into town, it would either be to a set place that someone else has set up or to a quiet pub sorta place. I actually have no idea where to go! I usually go somewhere with a good pint or a cocktail deal or something. Normally not places for dancing into the night.....

    Wondering what people think are the non pretentious places to go for a drink and a dance in Dublin. We used to always end up in Club Nassau - I know the floor were sticky but the tunes were great and nobody gave a crap how many lip fillers you had or how much your handbag cost. I'd ended up in there in runners and jeans and we always had such craic.

    Where is people's go to?

    The Globe (with Ri-Ras) and Hogan's (downstairs club) both on George's St.
    Both are decent unpretentious pubs with decent clubs.

    It's a pub more than anything else but Doyle's near Trinity is open late, music at talking level, doesn't get too mobbed, usually a few interesting tourists to chat to there as well.

    You can't go wrong with club Nassau OP ;)
    (Unless it's closed now, haven't been out in town in a long time)

    Hairy Lemon is fairly decent as well crowd-wise but is more of a pub.

    Yeah Club Nassau closed its sticky doors there last year. Such a shame. Thanks for the suggestions, can be hard to find a good spot these days!

    Ah that's a shame. When I lived in town, we'd saunter in there for cheesy drunken midnight dancing. Never had a bad night in the place and the crowd were very friendly

    Never been but the band I had for my wedding play there on Wednesday nights I think. That would be my style of music alright but I'm out with ladies tomorrow, they'd be none too impressed haha!
