The Wright Venue : Went their 2ce since my last blog, its open Wednesdays (student night), Fridays and Saturdays. Its located in The Wright Venue, South Quarter, Airside, Swords.
Unbelievable venue best club in Dublin in my opinion. Would really recommend it to students especially on a Wednesday night. Dj is amazing. Has a few drink promos eg: 3 jaegers for a 10er, but most drinks would be usual price as other clubs/pubs.
10euro in but really an amazing night.
For smokers, smoking area is sheltered, absolutely huge and has a bar in the middle of it, the smoking area is like a little venue of its own!!
The Wright Venue has had appearances from celebrities such as 50 cent, Rihanna, Pixie Lott, Peaches Geldof, Jordan and many many more.
I would give this venue 10/10 it really is a place you must go to!!
21 club and lounge: Is located on 21 d'olier street, Dublin 2. Right in the centre of town.
The club is underground and is big enough inside. It has 2bars and the best night to go is on Mondays it is 1euro in with the concession (get off their website) and 2euro a drink so is a cheap night.
Mondays is also a student night so a great place to meet other students.
The only bad thing I feel about this club is the smoking area. Because the club is underground it gets very hot and stuffy very fast so if you want to go up to the smoking area for a breather the smoking area is absolutely tiny. Everyone is crammed and the smoking area is put together on the night connected by barriers.
Otherwise I really like this venue and love that it’s so cheap.
I would give this club 7/10 just because the smoking area is a joke. Also you never see 21s without a que right down the road so try go around 11pm to avoid that!!
Button Factory The button Factory is a club located in temple bar.
Its 5-10 euro in depending on the night.
Button Factory would play different music to a lot of clubs in Dublin. It would play music like elctrohouse, tech house, techno, indie it really depends on the night you go but if you’re into that type of music Button Factory is the place to be!!
I really like this venue just because the music is so different. The dance floor is huge which is good for people who want to dance the night away!! I would Recommend this club and I would give it 8/10.
The Academy located at 57 Middle Abbey Street
Dublin, DUBLIN 1, Ireland.
I have only been here once but i absloutly loved it. The Academy plays loads of gigs and is a great club. Some artists that have performed their include: Republic of loose, Deadmau5, MGMT, New York Dolls, Rain Machine, Kate Nash, Pete Doherty, The Coronas, Little Boots, Fight like apes, La Roux, Calvin Harris and many many more. Different prices in on different nights, very big inside and is 2 floors. Great venue.
Would give this 9/10
Crawdaddy I have been here loads of times and is a great venue. It’s located at Old Harcourt Station, Harcourt Street, Dublin 2.
It has 3 different rooms with different music playing in each room, so you choose whichever music takes your fancy!
Very spacious inside and is rarely completely overcrowded which is good.
The smoking area is very big and has food outside incase you fancy a big of food!! Age group there is quite mixed, great venue to meet new people. I have not found anything I don’t like about this club so ill give it a 10/10.

Dublin Rated or Slated
My name is Amanda Cullen. I am in my first year of college studying Journalism and visual media in Griffith College.
I am writing this blog because I noticed that their is a lot of people not from Dublin that are studying here, I have lived in Dublin my whole life so i think i can really recommend some good places to go out, and also some places you should defiantly avoid.
In my Blog over the next few weeks im going to give my personal experience and opinion on different places i love and hate in Dublin. Ill write about Clubs ,Pubs, Restaurants, Shops etc. Ill also find out what clubs have the best drink promos, and just other stuff like that. Ill also get my friends opinions too so that it wont just be my opinion.
Im going to the Wright Venue this Wednesday and have been before so Im going to blog about that next week.
I would love to also hear your comments on the different places I blog about over the next few weeks!!
