For many, Dublin’s vibrant nightlife is one of its biggest draws. Ireland’s capital was named the third best city in the world to visit in 2016 by the Lonely Planet, in large part because of the ongoing 1916 centenary commemorations, but also because it was described as a place that ‘pulsates with youthful vibrancy.’ Here are some of the best city-centre nightclubs in which to experience that vibrancy.

1. The Button Factory

Nightclub, Cocktails, Beer, Wine

The Button Factory hosts live music and club nights within the refurbished Temple Bar Music Centre. The original opened in 1995 as a haven for up-and-coming musicians, with rehearsal spaces, recording studios and a venue. After an overhaul, the venue area was renamed the Button Factory. With great acoustics, this is a favourite with live music lovers. Every Saturday the Sense club night takes over, a house and techno showcase of the best local and international DJs, with free entry until 12:20am. Previous guests have included Jamie XX, Groove Armada and B. Traits.
