4 Dame Lane
This is a very trendy late bar and it really comes alive when neighbouring pubs close and punters hit the dancefloor.

Bernard Shaw(The)
Falling on the right side of cool (as opposed to 'too cool'), this is a lively, young - but not alienating - watering hole.

Bia Bar
A slick looking place, it works both as an evening pub and a great place for lunch. The menu has high-standard pub grub like salads, burgers and whatnot, but we recommend the bangers and mash.

Bruxelles
Next to the statue of Phil Lynnot, this bar is unofficially split into three sections. Upstairs is a normal Dublin pub and downstairs is divided by music - rock to the left, indie-rock to the right.

Bull and Castle
This micro-brewry has been around a long time, but it has seriously upped the ante with an awe-inspiring international beer menu, and the largest selection of Irish craft beers in the country.

Café En Seine
Here's a swanky bar, decorated with opulence and the snazzy crowd follow suit. It's a vibrant, popular place for the cool and (let’s face it) beautiful people, who vary in age and style, but are generally very well turned out.

Capitol Lounge
Ideally located close between all of the city’s top late night locations this is a great spot to kick start your night. It’s a favourite watering hole for cocktail lovers with over 100 different tipples on the menu.

C Bar
If you like your social life with a touch of class then this is the ideal spot. Located just above Ron Blacks the C Bar oozes with a sense of exclusivity, without actually being so, it is an ideal location for private functions.

Czech Inn
Although not the most sophisticated joint in Dublin this has become popular with locals, Czechs, Polish, gays and straights, and tourists from all over.

Grand Social (The)
Formerly known as Pravda, this bar has reinvented itself as a multipurpose spot - with nice lunches, a varied music venue (live and DJs) and a rather special fleamarket on Saturdays.

Hogans
Nestled on the corner of Fade Street (home of the Hills-style reality show of the same name), this is a fun, lively and loud spot to meet friends.

Lillies Bordello
Lillies Bordello was Ireland’s first big celebrity hang out. All the big names have partied here from Bono and the Edge to Mick Jagger, Prince, Bruce Springsteen and more.

Messrs Maguire
This late pub comprises roughly four floors (the jury’s still out on whether part of the stairway, close to the entrance, counts as a floor).

Number 3 Fade Street
Tis a rare thing when a Dublin bar opens with no proper title: Other names being banded about include The Bar with No Name and Number 3.

Odeon
A gorgeous building on the inside and out, this is a fashionable watering hole for Dubliners, especially those who work nearby.

Q Bar
This late bar feels like a cross between an airport terminal and a club. Its music and crowd are decidedly mainstream and it seems to strive to be a place to have a drink, a dance, and maybe a dalliance.

The Village
This late bar/club hasn’t changed much in the last decade or so. With other, somewhat similar bars (Whelans and Solas) on either side, The Village is part of a small hub of indie-centric pubs and clubs.

Thomas Reads and The Oak
Thomas Reads and the Oak are essentially the same bar. Both have different entrances, but inside they lead to each other. The Oak is an old fashioned pub with all the trappings therein- wooden furniture, stools at the bar.

Toast
Located in Rathmines, just south of the city centre, Toast is possibly the best late bar in Dublin. The music is fantastic- accessible indie hits mixed with hip-hop and pop classics filling the dancefloor on Fri and Sat.

Twisted Pepper
Neighbour to the intimate, yet super trendy Academy, Twisted Pepper is the perfect spot for people who like their music in a laid back venue.

Workman's Club (The)
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.

Wright's Café Bar
North of the city, in the town of Swords, near Dublin Airport, you'll find this popular late night bar replete with stylish lighting and a cool decor.
