About Lucky's Bar
Lucky's Bar on Meath Street is a gritty under-the-radar pick for the best nightclubs in The Liberties Dublin, where old-school pub soul meets late-night lock-ins. Tucked in the maze of Liberties lanes, this locals' favourite boasts sticky floors, dartboards, and a jukebox blasting everything from The Pogues to techno. It's the spot for unfiltered craic, where day-trippers vanish and night owls emerge for pints that hit different after midnight.
What to Expect
Expect €4.50 Babychams and lock-ins with impromptu karaoke or DJ spins till dawn on weekends. Crowd's pure Liberties: builders, artists, mischief-makers. Stout flows like the Poddle, with whiskey chasers for the brave. Sensory hits: fag smoke haze (out back), salty chip grease, bass rumbling from corner speakers. Dance on tables if the vibe strikes; no pretence here.
