With its back turned nonchalantly to Temple Bar, the Workman's Club, situated on the quays beside the Clarence Hotel, is the thinking person's indie spot. It hosts live gigs from the loud and lively to the quietly acoustic, comedy shows, tastings and indie DJ sets, spread out over several floors. The ever-changing layout is a mystery, with new rooms appearing out of nowhere every few months, but the average age of the crowd seems to rise with every set of stairs you climb. It gets crowded on weekends and seats are at a premium, especially on the gloriously riotous first floor, but despite being one of the city's most alluring venues, its best feature is that you don't have to be too cool for school to feel at home.
