4 dance clubs in Dublin our editors have drunk at, sorted by score. All Dublin nightlife.
Index Dublin ★ 4.5
north-inner-city · 57 Middle Abbey Street, North City, Dublin 1
Index Dublin moved into the former Opium Rooms on Middle Abbey Street and is now the city's serious techno and house room with Glitterbox residencies.
Tip: Doors hard close around 01:00 on the busy nights, get there before midnight or queue the rest of the set out on Abbey Street.
The Workman's Club ★ 4.5
temple-bar · 10 Wellington Quay, Dublin 2, D02 VX36
The Workman's Club on Wellington Quay in Dublin runs the 1888 working men's hall as a live music room with the Vintage Room basement programming club nights.
Tip: Buy your gig ticket and you stay in for the late club room, do not waste the cover by leaving at 23:00 like the tourists do.
Bow Lane ★ 4.2
south-city-centre · 17 Aungier Street, Dublin 2, D02 XF38
Bow Lane on Aungier Street in Dublin is the late cocktail bar and dance room with a DJ programme that runs disco and house until well after 02:00 most nights.
Tip: The bottomless brunch crowd peaks at 15:00, walk in then for a table or after 21:00 once the dance floor takes over.
Lost Lane ★ 4.4
grafton · Adams Court, Off Grafton Street, Dublin 2, D02 RP20
Lost Lane opened in 2019 off Grafton Street in Dublin with a 320 capacity live music room and a Friday and Saturday club programme anchored by the Mother residency.
Tip: Use the Adam Court alley entrance off Grafton Street, not the Porterhouse door. Friday club nights pre-sell, do not chance a cold walk-in.
