While fads come and go in Dublin's nightlife, late-opening hours, a good location, a well-stocked bar along with a dance floor-filling 90s and 00s mega-mixes seem to never go out of fashion.

Owned by former garda Cathal Jackson, Copper Face Jacks has long been recognised as one of the country's most profitable clubs.

Accounts filed by the company who own the bar offer an insight into just how much money flows into the club's coffers - and it's far more than coppers.

€5.5m - The pre-tax profit earned by the club.

€15,219 - Profit raked in by Coopers every night.

€106,533 - What that adds up to every week.

€46.29m - Massive amount of cash that the nightclub's firm Breanagh Catering Ltd was sitting on as of January 31st of 2014, after a number of highly-profitable years.

€3.32m - Growth in that cash stock between 2013 and 2014.

€59.27m - The firm's accumulated profits reported in these accounts.

193 - People employed by the club.

1 - Speed bump, the club had one major set-back after clubbers were caught in a crush outside of the premise in January of this year. The accounts include a note which says: "Seven people were injured in a crush outside the premises on January 28th last," and, "Legal action has been taken against the company."  

Shaky mobile-footage of the incident appeared online and was heavily shared through social media.
