Whelan's - situated on Wexford Street, just a five minute walk from the hostel. One of Dublin's best venues for live music. Great atmosphere, gigs almost every night ranging from folk to country, cajun and beyond. Most gigs from IR 5.00. The Kitchen - owned by U2, the Kitchen is a popular nightclub in Temple Bar, located next to the Clarence Hotel.
Music is the latest rave and techno dance music.
The POD is extremely difficult to get in to on a Friday or Saturday night and can also be quite expensive. The music is strictly dance oriented. For a cheaper night out try the Student special on a Wednesday night. The Border - located on Mercer Street, this is the closest nightclub to Avalon House. Frequented by a lot of people visiting Dublin for the weekend or on Hen or Stag parties.
