CLUBS
There are loadsa Clubs in Dublin but we have listed a few of the better ones below :
- The Pod ( www.pod.ie )
The best Nightclub in Dublin. The POD has been going since the early 90's .They got us into dance and have been leading us on a merry chase ever since. Three different Clubs all rolled into one , depending on the night they have different or all parts open. Built into an old train station and keeping a lot of the old brickwork they have modernised the building to give it that perfect Club feel, clean and dirty at the same time . Check out their website if you don't believe me !!! We're sick of seeing Bono and the boys here !!!!!!
- The Acadamy ( www.theacademydublin.com )
Another spot that has been going years under different names. The current incarnation is pretty good , nice stage area for bands etc , basement level for DJ's and it has a pretty good crowd.
- The Tivoli ( www.tivoli.ie )
Just round the corner from the hostel , the Tivoli is a theatre but also has live Music and DJ sets . Quite a nice place and different from the rest. It does depend on who's playing however.

In the Temple bar area , it boasts the ' wall of fame ' , which has famous Irish musicians dotted about on it .Each day brings a different style of music , nice stage area for live music with a good decked smoking area as well.
