SHAMROCK
( 4812-3584; Rodríguez Peña 1220; 6pm-4am Mon-Wed, to 6am Thu & Fri, 8pm-6am Sat)
Popu-
lar with both locals and tourists for its cheap happy hour, this long-running and not very
traditional Irish pub in Barrio Norte is decked out in dark wood and has a dim, moody at-
mosphere. Women beware: this is a serious pick up joint. DJs rule from Thursday to
Saturday, when the Basement Club opens up downstairs, usually around midnight.
BAR
BASEMENT CLUB
( 4812-3584; Rodriguez Peña 1220; Thu-Sat)
This cool but unpretentious subterranean club
is known for first-rate DJ lineups, pounding house music and a diverse young crowd.
Thanks to the Shamrock, the ever-popular Irish pub upstairs, the place sees plenty of
traffic throughout the night. Come at 3am to see the club in full swing, or just descend the
stairs after enjoying a few pints at ground level.
