Namechecked by Mixmag as one of the key drivers of the revival of Dublin’s club scene and it’s no wonder, as its fitted with state-of-the-art D&B Audiotechnik sound. Top figures in house and techno are regulars in the newly revamped main room, the IRO – Ellen Allien and Route 94 have been amomg the visitors – and local residents such as Boots & Kats entertain the masses in its popular heated terrace, The Garden. The parties can get intense in here, so there’s some great places to chill out – the balcony overlooking the main room is an excellent crowd-watching spot, and you can keep things intimate with your friends in The Lounge.
