For such a social city, the club scene in Dublin does appear to be dying off at a rapid pace.The capital appears to be booming, with more and more hotels, apartment buildings and office blocks popping up all over the city centre.
"I was never really a Camden Street or Harcourt Street person so I'm loath to call any of those places nightclubs. I was a big Twisted Pepper attendee back in the day and I miss Crawdaddy so much. That place was my youth. I enjoyed going to District 8 to see the likes of Jon Hopkins, Kiasmos, Jon Talabot and anything that Mother put on there, even though it was mostly not accessible to wheelchairs users.
"Clearly there were many more venues a few years ago doing big and small events, in many ways now it is incomparable to 10 or 15 years ago. It is obvious that Dublin people still and will always like to go out and party, and life will find a way. And I’ve this funny feeling 2020 will see more venues ditch the table service cocktail bar for a dancefloor again.
"I think we need a Night Mayor. 100%," says Louise Bruton. "People need the sense of community that comes from a dance floor, and not the kind you find on Harcourt Street. "In Dublin there can be a tendency to give the same people gigs because they can draw a crowd and there’s safety in that," Gannon adds.
