Dublin has been named among the top ten cities in Europe that have the best nightlife.
Taking the number seven spot on the list, Dublin has 250 bars and clubs listed on Tripadvisor. Meanwhile, the Irish capital also has 19.9 bars and clubs per 100,000 people, according to the latest study by Bounce.
While the study counted the number of pubs and clubs per person, it doesn't specify how many pubs there are per person compared to clubs. According to a recent Post-Pandemic Report by District Magazine, there were only 19 nightclubs in Dublin in 2021 compared to 41 ten years ago. While our pub culture remains strong, our club culture has suffered significant blows.

The study looked at a variety of factors to find the very best European holiday destinations in 2022. Bounce looked at 50 major European city break destinations and analysed a number of factors to create the list of overall best destination as well as the cities with the best nightlife, most affordable public transport and average hotel prices, among many others.

Meanwhile, it ranked number 14 on the overall list of best European city break destinations.
