Dublin Night Out - On my tod. (1 Viewer)

[FullFathomFive]

I'm a newbie, and after some advice. I'm visiting Dublin first week in April for work. I'll be overnight on a Thursday. I'm a bit of an indie kid, is Dublin and any reccomended bars the kind of place you can go out on your own?

If I've posted in the wrong place or broken any rules apologies.

Just keen for some advice and recommendations on bars/clubs or even any meet ups!

Only been to Dublin once before and loved it, but that was ages ago.

Thanks

are you on the twitter? Can give you some feeds to follow that run different nights, DJs, gigs, etc.

I am indeed, cheers, any help appreciated.

the only rule here is 'never apologise'

Is there any kind of thumped regular meet ups?

It's enough hassle getting the Christmas meet up sorted.
Cassidys on Westmoreland Street isn't too bad, and Workman's is supposed to be good. I rarely go out in town though so my advice may not be trustworthy.

Maybe. Gigonometry

Know the feeling, my other board is similar. Well if anyone is about on the 7th and fancies a night out, shout!

Heres a couple of feeds from different venues that might be worth a look

The Workman's Club (@WorkmansDublin) | Twitter
WhelansLive (@whelanslive) | Twitter
The Grand Social (@TGSDublin) | Twitter
The Button Factory (@ButtonFactoryv) | Twitter


The following are a sample of gig promoters.

MCD Productions (@mcd_productions) | Twitter
Aiken Promotions (@aikenpromotions) | Twitter
timo u:mack (@umackDublin) | Twitter

might find something there. I guess it depends on how 'Indie' you mean when you say you're 'Indie', but those twitter feeds will give you an idea of the sort of shite that does be on of a night in Dublin.

Thanks Scutter really useful. Whelans on a Thursday came up most on Google searches.

I'm a sucker for Britpop, not just the popular stuff but old school indie. But also love the Manchester thing and 80s new wave. The dancier side of things sits well too.

If ever I can return the favourv in London, let me know. You've all been very nice, which isn't something you can guarantee on boards!

Still need a drinking buddy tho!

Whelan's or the Workman's would seem to be your safest bets. Thomas House occasionally fits the bill too I think.

Morrissey drinks in the Thomas House

so steer well clear of there

Depending what age you are, Whelans has more of a 25 y/o + crowd but would be the more indie club.
Workmans is under 25 y/o.

Don't expect much from either and you'll be alright
