N0318 White Sands Hotel

Tamangos! Where the gang goes!, said the ad that everyone living anywhere near Dublin the 90s and early 00s probably heard multiple times a day.

It was pretty much the norm for a hotel to have a nightclub in that era, and while nearly all of them are now gone (excepting on Harcourt Street, where most remain); Tamango - the s has gone missing - was one of the last ones standing. But it hasn't opened regularly since 2020; although it does open for specific performances, underage nights and fundraisers.

The hotel bar, however, is still very much open. I visited on a warm end-of-Summer/early Autumn evening, and sat outside as the bar was pretty close to full. With the nearly-local Hope on tap, this is definitely a nice place to spend a bit of time. It'd be even nicer if they could make the carpark vanish to improve the view, somehow
