For movers and shakers of a certain vintage, and certainly for those who held sway in the areas of politics, media and the law during the Celtic Tiger era, Joys Nite Club served as the destination of choice for a late, late drink and a dance. In the first volume of his autobiography, The Rocky Road, writer and broadcaster Eamon Dunphy recalls it as a place where on any given night you might encounter the likes of U2âs manager Paul McGuinness, the late PJ Mara, and no less than two future taoisigh, namely Enda Kenny and Brian Cowen. âIt was the last place open in town, a place where separated, divorced or people who couldnât sleep, tended to go. It had that whiff of desperation and despair. Obviously the drink was an anaesthetic. I think very fondly of Joys. Most of us do,â Dunphy says.
