The Nightlife of Undeath

Dublin has a rich and thriving nightlife that is as diverse and as interesting as the people that inhabit this quickly growing city. The mortal denizens unwittingly move among the damned, as the kindred stalk the endless masses in search of a glimpse of their former humanity, the succor of their raging beast, or simply the satiation of their endless hunger. While the parties move and the populous changes their interests with a whim, these are some of the more popular night spots frequented by the Dublin Kindred.

Tír na nÓg -

Rumored to be a favorite haunt of Prince Dónal O'Connor, many kindred gather here on a regular basis. It's enjoyed for its relative safety and "old-school" feel.

The Button Factory - Nestled in Dublin's "Cultural District", the hen-party over-run area of Temple Bar, The Button Factory has gone through more re-branding, and revamping in its short history than most of the city's other music establishments. That said, it's a quality venue, with decent sound system, a good high stage allowing a clear line of site for all - from six-foot mod to five-foot emo alike. A favorite of the late teens to early twenty year old set, The Button Factory does, to its credit, run both local acts needing a decent environment to make an impact, and quality international acts, where the fan gets an opportunity to see big names in a small environment. Often prone to rowdy shows on the weekends, many Brujah neonates, and the occasional elder, enjoy letting loose at this establishment on Friday and Saturday nights.
