the meat market
was the basement of a hotel in Donnybrook (Dublin), where the not-so-beautiful people went when all other options had been exhausted. The group I was with didn't know this when a barman recommended it to us, but we soon found out. The first warning was a bouncer who told me I couldn't go in because I wasn't dressed nicely enough... then changed his mind when I said "OK" and turned to leave.

This was before the smoking ban in Ireland, so the air was blue, and so was I. I got so pissed off, so quickly, that I apparently blanked out a pretty girl who wanted to dance with me, because she was smoking. The floor was half-filled with people "dancing" in that bad party fashion, and the drink was expensive. I lasted an hour before figuring out that walking around by myself was preferable. It's gone now - not that I care.

dunno the name
I know it was under the Sachs Hotel, which has also been renamed since then.
