Bars, Clubs and Nightlife Forum

Unlike a number of European cities, Dublin's particularly strict when it comes to dressing up. I've read that wearing sneakers and jeans
are discouraged. I agree with some of its rules, but sometimes I find it difficult to accept at times. I'm therefore uncertain.

Well, there are indeed some clubs which don't have a dress code, I won't argue with that. But as a rule, for most of Dublin's nightclubs,
wearing pants and black shoes are a must if you want to be admitted, especially if you're a tourist. I remember a long time ago there was
someone who was refused entry to a nightclub because he was wearing sports shoes.

Actually, most pubs and clubs in Dublin don't have a dress code - only that you don't wear sportswear and shorts since that would be a bit
inapproriate. But, there are establishments which are strict on enforcing this: no proper attire, no entry - no ifs and buts about it.
