Public Reviews:
- Ah the Odeon, hate it or loathe it; they sell 13 euro bottles of house wine. The staff are rude, the bouncers intimidating, the crowd is D4 - but the smoking area is great. A majestic building with a very camp interior lends nothing to the rather dour attitude of a hassled staff. Go for the cheap wine - stay for the Fawlty towers service.

- The monikers 'Classy' and 'hip' could certainly be applied to the Odeon on Harcourt Street. In an effort to avoid the mayhem of town, my friend held her 30th birthday here. Top marks go to them for accomodating us 3 days before 16000 English supporters hit town. The staff member (Scottish) who we spoke to on the phone was extremely polite and helpful and agreed to provide an area to be held for us provided we turned up by 8.30. Ok the bar queues were heavy but its a tad unfair to criticise based on this rugby weekend. Overall its a fine place to go and mingle, albeit topheavy with boys in their best Saturday shirt and I don't think you would get many Dosteyevsky readers among the clientele but fairs fair, it was a good hassle-free night in pleasant surroundings and Julia really enjoyed her birthday thanks to the lovely people who work there.

- This was formerly a railway station and is housed in a fine old building. Also serves late which helps and is attracting many of Dublin's bright (and beautiful) young things.Has an air of sophistication about it. Whether that is a good thing or a bad thing is up to you. Look out for the hugging and air kissing. Now, strike that pose. A good place for a few drinks and to pose.

-The bouncers here are the worst i have ever encountered!Myself and a friend left to go to the bank machine one night and told the bouncers this on the way out. When we returned less then 5 mins later they refused to let us back in, even tho our friends and drinks(which weren't cheap!) were still in there. After a few minutes arguing with them we just left. I wrote to the manager complaining about this incident and never got a reply. Its a place i will never return to.
