The staff can be a bit pushy and rude, especially if you're younger and don't have too much money to spend. Located on North Street, at the end of Swords village, you will find this hip nightclub. The only late nightclub for a few miles! For a 15 euro entry fee, I expected a lot more than this place had to offer. There are hardly any places to sit, the drink selection is limited - that is if you make it to a bartender at all! The smoking area is an underground parking lot, so you're having your smoke and a chat and a drink, but you're surrounded by the hotel crowd's cars - which I thought was pretty strange as I wouldn't really want my car parked at a nightclub's smoking area. And because you're underground there is no way to contact your friends, as your phone signal is lost. This place might be alright for the student nights, with concessions and extremely cheap drinks and having said that, I have had a few great nights here on the student nights last year, but I don't think it's worth a Friday or Saturday night there. Obviously it's worth checking out for yourself, it just wouldn't be my first choice.

If you live in North County Dublin and you want to go out for the night without spending an arm and…read morea leg on taxi fare, your options are limited to Tamangos in Portmarnock or Velvet in Swords. Tamangos (or "Joes" as the initiated refer to it for some reason) has been famous for generations for its 'Grab a granny night'. Back when my oul lad first moved to Dublin, Grab a granny night happened on the second Tuesday of every month, as this is when the mother's of Dublin got their children's allowance, and the only chance of having a few bob to go for a hooley. These days, what with everyone being more affluent (well, for the time being anyway), Grab a grannny night happens every Tuesday, so if older women are your thing, have a ball. Being the only nightclub for a few miles around, Tamangos can charge what they like: it's usually €15 to get into the place, and standard club prices for drinks. It's kind of worth it the odd time though: the place really looks like a cheezy hotel bar. Which it is, so that makes sense, I guess. And now that the summer is here again, they have their student nights on Wednesdays, so it's €10 in and €3 drinks. Which is grand.

Let me preface this by saying I'm an old guy who loves dancing but doesn't go to clubs. I was on a…read moretour of Ireland and asked about dance venues and my Collette trip advisor name dropped Copper Face Jack's. I got there soon after it opened and I loved it. Loved the venue, loved the energy (although much of it was probably fueled by alcohol, I don't know- I'm part of the rare, lonesome breed who doesn't need alcohol to flail around like a maniac). Point is, the music selection was stuff you could dance to, so no complaints there. The DJ refused my request but I have weird taste so fair play. The bar staff kept me hydrated- they were on top of their game. I stuck around for two hours until there was literally no room left to dance due to the growing crowd. They wouldn't call a taxi for me which I guess is fine because so many cabs are already there, but there were other complications that weren't the club's fault so it's just me having a moan. All told? I'd definitely go again. If I ever come back to Dublin, anyway. Or Ireland in general.

This may be the worst place I've ever been, but I highly recommend going. I somehow ended up at…read morethis shit-show of an establishment two days in a row while visiting Dublin (for two days...). This was a couple of years ago and we still tell stories of this place to this day. The place is straight raunchy. It's packed and people spill their drinks so much that they've hired a guy to consistently mop the floor, and the dude cuts through the dance floor with his mop like a hot knife through butter. Though I doubt this is helping the situation, since I saw someone collapse on the dance floor at least once every 30 minutes. I actually enjoyed the music. They had a live band play until midnight(?) and then had a DJ after that that played everything from Galway Girl to rap to Galway Girl to country to Galway Girl.... The crowd is mostly made up of young (university age) people walking around plastered with the deadest eyes you will ever come across in a living organism. Some of the best people watching, though; it's like the Walking Dead meets that Project X movie, but everyone is Irish. So, in sum, if you haven't been and are looking for a night to (partially) remember - go this place.

Naturally, it tends to swing from the edge of greatness to depths of terror normally associated with a Butlins Variety Performance. The interior would be great for a film. Dark, subterranean, pillars everywhere, lots of creepy shadows-it's really quite cool. And because of it's teeny tiny size everything sounds much louder than it should, throw in a few fancy lights and this is one of the best 'loud music' venues in Dublin. But it's not, I've seen some absolute clangers in here. So I'd advise checking out who's playing before dishing out a cover charge, and maybe invest in some ear plugs too.
