    Lillies is one of the bigger Dublin nightclubs that is quite hot on trying to get celebs in.

    Last time I was there some little minx pushed her way to the bar before me.

    A couple of rather large gentleman pursuaded me with their physical presence that perhaps one of "The Coors" needed a drink more than me at that precise moment.

    Check out showbizireland.com to see who has been recently - that explains the photograph.

    Smart - bouncer will not let any sign of plebby scruffiness through the door.

    Clubs: The sexiest Irish nightlife tip ever!!!

    The hottest nightlife in
    Ireland!

    Since I am a teetotaler, non-smoker, living-below-my-means practitioner, and Warren Buffet wannabe who invests diligently and smartly, I see the banality of draining money to buy alcoholic drinks and cigarettes--worst if you even finance this habit with your credit card debts!

    I strongly believe that we should let our money work for us, not working our buns off for money only to burn and drain it in the toilet. Hence, I can only give you a serene thrifty healthy nightlife tip as shown in the picture. HA...HA...HA.... Gotcha! ;-P

    Clubs: Boogie on Down in the Voodoo Lounge

    'Voodoo Child'
    by amapola66
    As we were without the Small Person on this trip, we continued on to the Voodoo Lounge, which is the sister pub to The Dice Bar and is located around the corner on Arran Quay. (Like The Dice Bar, from where we had just been, the Voodoo Lounge has Huey Morgan from the Fun Lovin' Criminals as it's owner). There is a New York style pizzeria as you enter the bar sporting a tasty menu of pizza slices (to soak up the drink) and interesting array of DJs and live bands throughout the week for all your music needs. This late night bar is never too full, and has friendly bar staff and djs.

    I have to say, I had a good boogie in there, which is cool, (as most clubs never play the music that inspires me to get up and go for it).
    The dj style was a more eclectic mixture of songs, not giving a damn for fashion or genre - eg The Charlatans followed by Bob Marley - Right up my street!

    The decor is amusing too, KB and I had a gas (as they say there).

    We didn't notice a dress code.

    Clubs: Coppers (Copper Faced Jacks)
  • Tip Rating:
  • Marpessa
  • Updated By Marpessa on February 11, 2006
  • Dublin Page by Marpessa
  • Coppers is a pub upstairs, but downstairs, at night, it is a club. A lot of people who go there are policemen, nurses and teachers (all off-duty of course!).

    While the club is in a basement (you go down some stairs on the footpath) there is also an upstairs when you are in the club. The club does have a very 'cosy' but party-going feel. The music is always pumping with great hits from the 90s and more recent years. There is a bar, a large area to dance, plenty of areas for sitting... and other things ;-)

    One thing I may have to warn some girls (and guys) about is, well... pretty much a lot of the people who go to Coppers are going there to pick up (in one way or another), and quite a lot of the guys have wandering hands, so girls, just watch yourselves.

    As long as you know how to handle yourself you can have a great time at Coppers and dance (and drink) the night away!

    Also, the toilets have 'attendants' who have deodorant and perfume!

    Not too strict, for girls: jeans, heels (or nice flats) and a nice top is fine, same for the guys (minus the heels ;-) ).

  • Leeson Street
    This street is full of night clubs. Closing time around 4pm. You don't pay into the clubs but expect to pay over the odds for a bottle of wine. Most of them only have wine licences. Some of the clubs are fun to visit with a group, stay clear if your on your own especially if your a woman they do have a name as pick up joints. Taxi drivers call the street "My wife does not understand me " because of all the married men who frequent the strip. Jeans and runners are not the thing to wear...
    Off St Stephens Green.

    Lillie's Bordello
    This is very popular if your a rich rock star or famous model. Getting into Lillies is hard unless your a local which of course you can't be since you only arrived in the country a few hours ago. Try your luck , but this club is nothing special. Mind the bouncers.. they do hit out and one unfortunate person took the club to court when the bouncer sliced into him for no reason except to ask why he was being refused. By the way he won the case and the bouncer was fired.
    Off Grafton Street

    Renards
    Again this is a club for the rich and famous. They have two floors one for the mere mortals and the other for the VIP's. Personally the ground level is a lot better with a lot more craic. Upstairs if your manage to get pass the bouners, is dark and boring.
    South Fredick Street.

    POD / The Red Box
    A very young set go to the POD. You have got to be stylish to get in here as that is as important as age, so l am told. Thursday night hosts a no frills night so you can dance the night away without worrying about what your clothes look like. They also have gay nights, check for listings in the free newspapers.
    Harcourt Street

    Ri-Ra
    Again a very young and mixed crowd, loud music and lots of fun. Bouncers on the door so have ID ready if you don't look your age. They also have a gay night, again check the free newspapers.
    South Great George's Street.

    Most of these clubs will not allow you entry if your wearing sneekers.

    DON'T BOTHER!!!I can't tell you anything about this club as they refused us entry,the door staff were big headed and very rude.We were given free tickets for this club,when we got there they let all the people that were paying go in but refused to let us in with our tickets,i have never met such rude staff in my life.In the end we went back to our hotel and had a fantastic night with their own disco.

    Cafe en Seine
    by IrishFem
    Cafe en Seine : If's its people watching your into, this is a good place to go. Its full of gorgeous girls and guys all in the lastest fashion. Very people watching place. Nice to go during the day to see the decor which is very different to the norm and have a coffee. If you do plan on going at night, go early. Q's go on forever and start around 10pm. Very trendy so make sure your not wearing sneakers. Bouncers will not let you in if they think you might have had a few drinks already. Most peole age from early 20's to 30.

    Up to the minute fashion.
