I rounded off Wednesday night with a thousand other guests at the official opening of Twentyone Club & Lounge, Dublin's newest club. From 9pm guests including Keith Duffy and Samantha Mumba
flocked to D'Olier Street to check out this fantastically re-vamped nightclub.
Twentyone Club & Lounge has been created by owner, Dawn Maye, whose father Liam was one of the members of the consortium responsible for Dundrum Town Centre (what a co-incidence that Harvey Nics would open on the same night!).
Special features of Twentyone Club & Lounge include seven plasma screens, eight 'bed' booths, VIP and 'boudoir' areas for private parties, an amazing new dance floor, four dance podiums and of course, state of the art audio and visual technology. Guest thronged the dance floor 'til 3am and enjoyed entertainment such as magicians, contortionists, jugglers on stilts, fire eaters, professional dancers, illusionists and a python!
Twentyone Club & Lounge has a capacity of 1,000 people and it will target the 18 to 23 age group and will open 7 nights a week from 11pm to late. I'd say the average age was 21, so they're right on track.
George McMahon would feel right at home.
Project an Image
In other news I hear that there is a shake up at Image Magazine. Editor Sarah McDonnell and her Managing Director sister Jane have left the publication. Nobody I've spoken with knows the real reason, but the duo are thought to be setting up their own magazine.
Meanwhile, the wonderful Melanie Morris is to be the new editor of the popular women's magazine. Melanie, who published the hugely successful d'Side magazine, will surely inject a younger vibe to the society favourite.
