The Dragon

About this place The Dragon

The Dragon sits a few doors down from The George on South Great George's Street and serves the late-night end of Dublin's southern gay scene. The venue has a basement dancefloor that kicks into gear from midnight and runs the full gamut of gay club music — pop anthems, house, R&B — to a mixed crowd that spills over from The George and other nearby venues. The Dragon is not a sophisticated nightclub but it fills the important role of providing a proper dancing option on the George's Street strip, keeping the southern scene active into the early hours. The format is unpretentious: a DJ, a dancefloor, affordable drinks, and a welcoming attitude. For visitors who want the classic gay nightclub experience without navigating Dublin's ticketed club circuit, The Dragon is the straightforward answer on the southern side of the river.
