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 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.
