Index Dublin ★ 4.5

€€€North Inner City

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.

TipDoors 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

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.

TipBuy 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

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.

TipThe 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

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.

TipUse the Adam Court alley entrance off Grafton Street, not the Porterhouse door. Friday club nights pre-sell, do not chance a cold walk-in.
