There is a vibrant nightlife in Dublin and it is reputedly one of the most youthful cities in Europe
- with estimates of 50% of inhabitants being younger than 25. Furthermore in 2007, it was voted
the friendliest city in Europe. Like the rest of Ireland, there are pubs right across the city centre.

The area around St. Stephen's Green - especially Harcourt Street, Camden Street, Wexford Street
and Leeson Street - is a centre for some of the most popular nightclubs and pubs in Dublin.

The internationally best-known area for nightlife is the Temple Bar area just south of the
River Liffey. To some extent, the area has become a hot spot for tourists, including stag and
hen parties from Britain. It was developed as Dublin's cultural quarter (an idea proposed by local politician Charlie Haughey), and does retain this spirit as a centre for small arts productions, photographic and artists' studios, and in the form of street performers and intimate small music venues.
