Cuncrawl takes ‘party till the sun comes up’ a little too seriously with its early opening hours and 'party like an animal’ scene. It has an all-inclusive charge that allows you to drink as much as you can during the time it is open. It is quite popular for hosting bachelor/bachelorette parties and is also one of the safest nightclubs in town.
