Well, not really, you can get unlucky. I recently showed up to find about ten people there, the place is huge, and nobody on the dancefloor. Of course, me being the high chief of deadly, I stomped onto the floor regardless and had a great night. So yes, it is fun most of the time, but when it's empty it can be really empty. PS: in the business info section there's a box you tick for parking. I ticked 'street parking' which is the truth. But, if you park your car in Temple Bar at night, especially Friday or Saturday, you are a moron. Simple as.

Club M is your typical nightblub - crazy lights, boppy music, drink specials, sleazy guys. I can't say I'm the biggest nightclub goer or fan but this one was pretty decent as far as nightclubs go. We were there for Independence Day, so the joint was appropriately decked out Americana style. Noice! Club M has a few different themed nights each week, a standout being the Monday night recession night, where drinks are 3 euro. Pretty hard to beat that! Also look out for promo staff in Temple Bar for discount on the entry fee (usually 15 euro for a Saturday night).

But from experience, we know the clubs don't really get lively until 1am in Europe. So we stayed and gradually more people poured in. Very lively dance floor and large venue with an upstairs area to lounge. Reminded me of Club LAX in Vegas, but not that great of course. They played mostly hip-hop, pop, and top 40 on a Saturday night which was a relief to us after all the Euro-trance that played everywhere we went. There were some specials on select beers for €3.50 which was a decent deal compared to other places. The dance floor was so extreme, that our group had to take a break. Men were dancing on platforms at full force! If men are caught doing that in California, they would be immediately kicked off. Glad to know they don't discriminate there.

Naturally, it tends to swing from the edge of greatness to depths of terror normally associated with a Butlins Variety Performance. The interior would be great for a film. Dark, subterranean, pillars everywhere, lots of creepy shadows-it's really quite cool. And because of it's teeny tiny size everything sounds much louder than it should, throw in a few fancy lights and this is one of the best 'loud music' venues in Dublin. But it's not, I've seen some absolute clangers in here. So I'd advise checking out who's playing before dishing out a cover charge, and maybe invest in some ear plugs too.

She is 23 years of age she even provided a secound id to prove she was infact 23 and they still denied her. Meanwhile drunk people and minors were getting in this club is known for letting minors in with fake id's. I got scammed they ignore you aswell I cant even get a refund I tried getting to them in ever single way. I told my smaller sister about the news she is 16 and she told me her mates got in the club that night and they were 16 and 17 years old i wouldent be surprised if they let even younger people in i read other reviews about this place and this is what they do they dont let people over the age of 18 but they let mionrs into the club yous are seriously fucked up in the head if yous think that is okay.

Another late night, wandering around a new town, looking for dinner that isn't 'fast food' or too…read more'posh'. Comfort food, you know? In one place the music was WAY too loud for a restaurant! Another, with several empty tables at 9pm was 'all booked up'. A few pubs offer 'pizza and beer', which at that moment was not sounding appetizing. The Lafayette pub has a doorman (bouncer?) who we asked if dinner was being served. He directed us to their menu. Five simple options: chicken wings, nachos, chicken sandwich, burger or caesar salad. These sounded like perfect pub style comfort food. Inside is quite large and very dark. Around the corner, to the left is a wall of windows over looking the river, so during the day it must be quite bright in here. Each table had a tall taper candle in an empty bottle making it feel cozy. Ours was a whiskey bottle, of course. The walls are painted black in our little nook. Background music was a mix of David Bowie, U2 and the like. Volume went up about 10pm. The bartenders are young and very friendly. We ordered our drinks and meals at the bar and received a small table tent style number for food delivery. The food portions are quite large. A double burger and a small mountain of crispy, salty fries would be enough for two. The burger patties were cooked well and the bun was soft. A house dressing (thousand island perhaps?), iceberg lettuce, tomato, crunchy pickle chips and onions all in abundance. The burger comes with bacon too, but sadly, I am allergic, so I can't tell you about that. Nachos were generously covered in cheese, hot sauce and jalapenos. Also plenty to share here. About 5 minutes after our food was delivered the staff member who delivered our food returned to be sure we had everything we needed. Both meals were served on small plastic trays similar to the sort used in school cafeterias. I was hungry and tired and this place saved me from fast food, so yes, I really like this place. But besides that, the food was fresh and well prepared. The staff is super friendly. The music is good; loud but not break your eardrums loud. The seat comfy. The table in a cozy nook. All of which put me in a much better frame of mind and for that, I'm a fan.

Oh and did I mention the cocktails are €5 YEP €5 on friday evening you cant go wrong, and they were serving food. I didnt get a chance to grab a menu but the food on the table close by looked to be going down a treat.
