I'm going on a organized trip to Dublin with colleagues from work tomorrow and will be there until Sunday afternoon. Aside from a few sightseeing trips and a group dinner, it's really up to us what we do there.

There are mainly two things I'm looking for answers about: Wreckastows and clubbing/bar-hopping. If there are any really cool record stores in downtown Dublin, I would love to hear about them. Also I'm interested in knowing where the coolest nightlife spots are. I'll be staying in a hotel in the Temple Bar area, and I've heard a few clubs mentioned that are in the area (Club M, Boomerang's), but are there any in particular that are highly recommended? On a related note, I'm a single guy and in my mid-20s, so I'm not looking for any "granny-clubs".

Any suggestions are very welcome.

P.S. If you know of any really cool (but not too expensive) restaurants, any suggestions would be also welcome.

I am Irish ... though I live in the USA

good luck with your advice gathering
