Recommendations for club nights for auld wans and auld lads. (1 Viewer)

[Scientician 0.8]

I have a couple of friends who are in their late 30s and due to sprogs and shit rarely get to go out and I want to bring them somewhere. They are into all sorts of music but mainly they don't want to feel like they're in a creche. Anyone got any recommendations? Sugar Club? I only ever go to Fibber's any more so I haven't a pup's notion what is out there.

I had good craick at this a while back although it's also tremendously grim. The photo there fairly sums it up.

Oh god I went there a few years ago and the bouncer tried to dissuade us from going in. "It's over 30s lads", "We are over 30...", "Well you can go in if you like but it's more like over 35s..."
I thought they DJ was deadly, hits from 60s-00s.

Fibber's? Good lord. What's that like these days?

I normally go out dancing in Dublin twice a year (I'm 44). Probably the best fun I've had was in the Workman's Club, but the last time I was there (Oct) it was a bit empty. Went to C U Next Tuesday in Opium around this time last year - the crowd was awful young (and oh god so pretty) but the place was hopping and the tunes were good and I really enjoyed it. Due a night out again soon, was thinking of going to that circus thing in The Academy The Academy Dublin

btw when I go out dancing it's purely to dance (with a little drinking) - no standing around or chin-stroking, the tunes have to to be danceable (regardless of genre) and the dancefloor has to be full enough that I don't feel self-conscious. Preferably I'd like some flashing lights and shit as well to make me feel cool

They might be a bit too normcore for PCP.

Hey this looks good, is it still on the go? 2008? Looks like an Angelfire page.

I wouldn't have a breeze but I think the Grand Social, especially a Saturday night, is usually good fun with good music.
A mate of mine does a night in the Gingerman on occasion called Play Something We All Know, but it's not a regular thing. The music is always deadly though!
