What students get up to in Dublin's fair city at night

Whelans - (Wexford St. off Camden) Much more our scene; the sort of club that plays The Smiths, which is a breath of musical fresh air from all that One Direction, but perplexing to dance to.

The Lost Society -(Powerscourt Townhouse, South William Street, D2) Dubstep in an 18th-century mansion, which makes for a bit of a trip.

D2 -(60 Harcourt Street - Dublin 2) This place feels like a high school dance, but sweatier. We might have had an okay time had not both a bouncer and another guest of the club made racist comments to my friend. Also, drinks are expensive and the crowd tends toward the teenage.

bogsidebunny your very unfair comment urged me to register and comment on this website, and I normally never blog or comment on these types of things. Please do not try to paint Dublin city as intolerant regarding the areas you mentioned. The reason there has been some objection to the Abecrombie & Fitch poster is for the very reasons you have stated, its rather large size, in such a central and architecturally aesthetic part of the city. It could have been a picture of a religious figure, a smiling happy family or a banana and a poster of that size in that location would have been an eye sore to some people. I my opinion it was smart advertising because otherwise passers by would have been faced with a view of ugly scaffolding. The lesser of two evils. Enjoy Dublin Americans, get in touch if you want to meet a friendly face when you arrive and I'll some you some fun places to start you off.

It's not the Dublin I fell in love with back in 1968. BTW: I've heard the rather large, risque poster of a man's bare torso on the new Abecrombie & Fitch shop front near trinity College has been the cause of some angst with the Dublin City Council. Funny, in an ultra-Liberal, multicultural, gay friendly city such a benign object is the object of political correct derision and demand for its removal.
