Zafran Pakistan Indian restaurant and kebab house in Dublin

08/11/2025: Located on Harcourt Street in the heart of Dublin city, so it’s super central and easy to reach.  • Great value drink offers compared to many city-centre venues. For example, some sources report beer for as little as €2 on certain nights.  • The venue is large, with a beer garden/outdoor area in addition to indoor club spaces. That gives it flexibility – you can sit out or party in.  • Weekly themed nights and events (Brazilian parties, Latin music, etc.) which add to the energy.  ⸻ 👎 Things to be cautious about • The crowd tends to skew younger, especially for the late-night clubbing side. If you prefer a more relaxed or older crowd, this might feel a bit intense.  • There are repeated complaints about the door policy and security behaviour: “Probably the worst bouncers I’ve seen in my life … they refused him for no reason.”  “Been there done that, not going back again.”  Also: “Denied entry … a clear pattern of racial discrimination.”  • While drink deals are strong, the volume of music and the late-night environment means it may not be ideal for a quiet or casual evening. One visitor said: “It’s grand if you like cheap drinks and loud music.”  • Some reports of issues with the cloakroom/coat checks and busy or chaotic nights.  ⸻ ✅ My overall verdict If you’re looking for a fun, budget-friendly party spot in central Dublin with strong drink deals and a lively atmosphere, Dicey’s Garden hits the mark. It really comes alive in a “young, high-energy” mode, especially after dark with DJs and a large crowd. However, if your ideal night is quieter, more relaxed, or with attentive service and less hustle, then you might prefer looking elsewhere. Also, if you’re visiting with a mixed group (older friends, someone who wants a calmer vibe) it might be worth going early (when it’s less packed) or choosing a different venue for part of the night.

07/11/2025: If you are a student and you are able to go with friends this place is pretty perfect. I like the different areas with different music genres. Sometimes a pint is only 2€.
