Watch: Punters queue up for Copper Face Jacks' big reopening night

Punters were delighted to be queuing up outside Copper Face Jacks for the famous nightclubs big reopening.

The late-night boozer was closed for the majority of the last two years due the Covid-19 restrictions.

Taoiseach Micheal Martin announced the easement if nearly all restrictions last week which meant many nightclubs didn't have the time to get ready to open until now.

The jubilant clubbers told Dublin Live they were "delighted" to be heading into the club after such a long closure.

One student teacher said: "We are delighted to be back. We are all student teachers and we are so happy.

"I am looking forward to just socialising with the girls and I am happy to be back out with everybody.. We are so happy to go out and socialise."

Jake, who was at the top of the queue, said: "I am buzzing for the madness. It has been two years without the madness and it is great to get it back.

"I am not [looking for the shift] tonight but this lad here is."

He added: "It is just getting out and seeing my friends and things like that and getting drinks. Just normal stuff you miss during Covid."

A third simply said: "I am absolutely delighted to be here".
