    Lee Fields goddamn!!

    I've been going to the sugar club for almost 20 years now. It is by far the best music venue I've ever been to. The problem is the bar. There is a really limited number of drinks available. The bar staff are inexperienced. When you get a cocktail it may not be what you ordered, however don't try to raise this issue with the bar staff unless you want to be subjected to the 3rd degree. Staff are and always have been in my opinion, extremely indifferent and confrontational. Pity cause it can ruin a good night.

    I really can't fault this place! Been here for many a gig over the years and for other events like Tarantino movie nights or other features done by prominent directors. The sugar club is essentially a cinema/club/bar/insane chill out spot. With the old style jazz club feel to the venue I find it is a place that allows you to get up close and personal with acts. It has a very limited capacity but this adds to the ambiance and atmosphere that are so closely associated with the VIP feel you get from being part of the crowd. The smoking area is newly renovated, toilets are always clean, crowds here are also usually very nice and I've never seen any trouble. Furthermore the staff are always friendly and there are superb drink deals which change frequently. These might include Bacardi oak heart with a splash (€5 and pretty potent) or even a Cuba libre for the same price (once again not mean with the booze to Coke ratio). All in all a great place for any type of event!!

    My sore head today is a reflection of this place's cheap cocktails. 5 euros a pop before midnight,…read moreyou can't beat that! Great cocktail menu, the bartender I dealt with was charming, he even deviated from the menu to do my favourite cocktail. It's moderately sized, interior is modern, comfy couches. Music is chart, the DJ was abit too volume happy so we had to shout to talk and then we gave up and just focused on drinking the cocktails. At one point I thought I was at convention celebrating the show Sex & The City which then shifted to me thinking I was in a lesbian bar. It was thronged with well done up young women and hardly any men. Boys if you want to score a chick, this is the place for you! Girls if you want to score a chick this also is the place for you but in a very Sex & The City hook up kinda way, that is they will be straight again the next morning. The only reason why I am giving it three stars is that it would not be my scene and the music is too loud but it's a great place to pre-game it with some cheap well made cocktails before hitting another spot.

    OK I still hate Capitol, I do, I just happened to have a great night there last night... which was…read moremore to do with the company than the establishment (at one point I laughed so hard I thought I might have an aneurism).. ok it was a little to do with the 5 euro cocktails - I've given them one more star for that. I still think it's a place to be avoided like the plague on a weekend. Anyway you can happily get sozzled on the quite extensive menu of cocktails, all of which are 5 euro all night Sunday - Thursday, and during the week you can get seats and pretty quick service... still though the place annoys me.... maybe it's that every girl there is wearing is tiny dress and giant heels, or maybe it's the remnants of puke is all the sinks... but after a few the blaring music starts to become less annoying and everything is hilarious -your friend may even attempt to throw limes into a pint class across the far side of the room without anyone noticing.

    I agree with laura - this is one of those bars you would never even think about going into, until…read moreone day you do... Dandelion reminds me a lot of Cafe En Seine. Its interior is massive and very grandly outfitted, although after the initial 'wow' moment everything seems to take on a bit of a gaudy air. The 5 euro cocktails are fab, and they have drink specials most nights of the week, so this could be a place to go before you really go out. There is a nightclub here, but I can't vouch for its quality. Dandelion also has a very nice restaurant that is suitable for families. This place disappoints a little bit, after giving an amazing first impression, but maybe this is because everyone else in Dublin seems to just walk on by?

    I didn't think Dandelion was any great shakes when I went there for a night out with the girls…read more(Jays, I'm starting to sound like Carrie). It's modern and trendy with plenty of room to mingle but it's not particularly atmospheric or memorable in spite of its 'boutique' claims. I can't imagine ever saying "I'll meet ye in Dandelion later", and I wonder if it has any kind of a regular crowd. That said, €5 for a cocktail in the heart of Dublin is not a bad deal and currently Dandelion are offering to pay the 21.5% VAT on all drinks Monday-Friday, bringing the cost of a pint down to a cool €4.30. Whatever I may say about Dandelion, you'll not get a better deal on the Green and I saw a tanned, chiselled young man handing out flyers to this affect just the other day! We bolted however after about two hours and Dandelion left no great impression except a brief ponder over the wisdom of naming your 'boutique' club after a weed.
