Twenty Two Night Club

You're stumbling down Anne Street South at 3am on a Saturday, and those neon lights are calling your name. Twenty Two pulls in a mixed crowd of Temple Bar refugees and locals who know better than to queue for overpriced pints elsewhere. The sound system does its job without making your ears bleed, and the cocktails hover around the €10 mark – reasonable enough when you consider you'll be here until the sun comes up. The space itself won't win any design awards, but it doesn't need to. You're here for the extended weekend sessions that run Thursday through Saturday, when Dublin's night owls migrate from pub to club without missing a beat. The crowd skews younger but not obnoxiously so, and the music leans into commercial dance without being completely predictable.
