3 Best Nightlife in Dublin, Ireland

Button Factory

Temple Bar

A happening music venue, the Button mixes top DJs and up-and-coming live acts. The place tends to be on the cutting edge of the Irish dance-music scene.

The Academy

Dublin North

A music hub with four floors of entertainment of every kind, the Academy is anchored by big-name local and international DJs and gigs. It attracts a young, dance-crazy crowd who like to party until the wee hours.

The Church

Dublin North

The sacrilege of bopping the night away in a former church might add a little spice at this mainstream weekend club. Nondancing churchgoers can check out the pub and restaurant upstairs.
