do you smuggle drink into a club

xOxSinéadxOx · 17-07-2009 06:32PM

I was at a wedding out in leixlip last month, and I brought a bottle of jack daniels with me for the night.

Just went up and bought a couple of glasses of coke for me jack d.
No shame I wasn't going to spend 6.80 for a shot of jack daniels so I brought my own.

bottle of jack was hidden in the other half's handbag

I do it all the time!
I think most people do it - its not scabby! The amount of money you pay in Dublin clubs is beyond crazy.
No way are they "losing money".
I'm a student and only work part-time so I don't exactly have the money to be 'throwing around'.

Earlier this week I went out to a club with my friends and we didnt bother buying drink before-hand (It was raining really hard and no-one wanted to go to the off-licence).
It was 6.80 for a vodka and coke. (I had three)
So later in the night, in an attempt to save money, I tried to go for a 'cheap' drink...bottle of bulmers pear that cost me 5 euro....:mad: Even 'kiddies drinks' like WKD and smirnoff ice aren't cheap.

So including the admission fee to the club (10 euro) and taxi (10 euro)...it works out pretty expensive.
50 euro for one night out really isn't on...(and I could easily spend more on another night).
Recession is on guys....its time they woke up and brought their prices down a bit!:D

I don't see why you shouldn't be allowed to bring your own drink. It happens in other countries. You've paid to get into the place so you've the right to be there. They could easily allow people to bring your own drink and be guaranteed a crowd.

I do it all the time! Almost every night I head out I bring a nagin hidden in my bag!!

No way in hell Im paying the rip off prices of €8.10+ for a vodka and 7up.

I did see this week that a club in town (am I allowed say the name?) is running a BYOB night. Think its on a Wednesday.

I did smuggle a naggin in the bag into a well known Dublin establishment and got caught in the club! Cue major embarassment:o after much persuasion I was allowed stay, the bouncers were around me like vultures all night though. Learned my lesson..

I bring my hipflask out everywhere. Brought it with me once and as I walked past a bouncer, he goes

"Do you have any drink on yah?"

Me: "Ehh... No..."

*bouncer does the feely-up type search thingy, finds the naggin, sniffs it, pours it out and hands it back to me.

I remember just snatching the empty naggin and storming off into the club, though don't they kick you out after you've been found with drink?

Maybe he did tell me to leave... I was too drunk to notice. Worst night of my life!

Secoundrow · 17-07-2009 09:08PM

Well I had a mate who was barred for 2 weeks from c.ps In galway for bringing in (well trying to) a naggin of vodka.
Ejet had it hangin out of his back pocket

I think its a good idea though as night club prices are a rip off :mad:

all the same I do buy a fair bit of drink in the pub before I go clubbin but early in the night I buy a naggin of vodka from the off license and stick it down my sock

!^They never look there

Then just get a pint of water with mi-wadi in the club throw in a shot of vodka in the jacks and your happy out:D

I think its getting more popular because of the price of drink its unreal. Here its €15 to get in then you have to buy drink and I dont drink beer only whiskey or rum and its €4 alone not even counting a mixer its rediculous. I always smuggle drink in its a lot easier for guys they only check girls because they bring over-sized hand bags . Iv gotten into clubs with half bottles of Jack Daniels on several occasions and Iv never been chcked

Tar.Aldarion · 17-07-2009 09:27PM

Yeah have done as a student. Usually a naggin in the pocket. I remember downing my Southern Comfort in there after exams in NUIG and then placing it in front of me. Bouncer came over furiously asking whose it was and I said it was the person in the red shirt(I was the only one there in a red shirt) and he asked me what they looked like: "About my height, same kinda hair" etc.

"It's yours isn't it!"
"Na dude, it wasn't me, dude in the red shirt, must be around here somewhere"
"I'm checking the cameras"
"Of course you are, hope you get him"
He just went and stood on the stairs as my vision started to blur.

Anyway, after the naggin kicked in I tried some sumersaults on the dancefloor and after evading them for a while, falling on my ass a few times, I got escourted out by four bouncers saying "You're welcome back any time" :pac:

Met my friend and went for chips, poor lad was off his face, just bought chips and wandered off into the distance leaving me at the table with his chips. Score.

Raze_them_all · 17-07-2009 09:29PM

Meh i get locked before i go out, the bouncers in the pubs i drink are mates of mine so i never get kicked out

Vanbis · 17-07-2009 09:32PM

Back in the day my best mate use to smugle cans into are local on the weekends all the time, we use sit down the back so no one really bothered us but the funny thing was it wasn't Heineken or Budweiser it was Royal Dutch and something else? i cant think of at the moment, still a tight fisted as he was back then :rolleyes:

Wertz · 17-07-2009 09:34PM

I amazed at the amount of people getting into clubs with nagans...so much for the search for concelaed weapons and illegal substances eh?

If a club became fully BYOB, then it could stay open 24 hours

Novella · 17-07-2009 10:08PM

I don't usually bring drink out with me, tend to just get drunk and then head out and only buy 2 or 3 drinks or whatever. If I was really broke, I would bring a naggin in my bag though, just stick it in the inside pocket thing

dmcg90 · 18-07-2009 02:27AM

When really skint I do, a hipflask of Vodka or Jagermiester into clubs is grand... just get a coke and youre grand, especially in the expensive clubs. Usually its to keep you going after a night of drinking.

renraw · 18-07-2009 02:40AM

Whenever I wore combats poeple always said "The war is over"
I ask them which war? They never know. At least it's over.
Wait what is going on, I'm like grandpa simpson when I don't get sleep.

Anyway man, the war is over.

Was at a wedding last year and there was one full table of middle aged men and women all with their own drink, we spotted one of the women under the table filling the classes and we pissed ourselves laughing at them for the rest of the night. Bringing drink into a night club is one thing, but i cant believe people would be tight enough to bring drink into a wedding, if you cant afford to drink on a day out like that, then dont drink.

abouttobebanned · 18-07-2009 03:09AM

Interesting thread. Sometimes threads pop up on Boards about illegal things that people do a lot of, say for example downloading films, or something like that, and there's always a bunch of Moral Obligators who come on calling the procastinators "thieves". Doesn't seem to be happening here, everyone seems to be in agreement that it's an ok thing to do.

A couple of things, if I was to say it's a disgrace and essentially you're all thieves...and then complain about the fact that I can't bring my own food into a cinema, am I being a hypocrite? Kinda...

Paying €10 to get into a night club and smuggling in a naggin, I say fair play to ya if ya get away with it. Bringing your naggin into a bar that you didn't pay to get into...I think that's not on.

khmk · 18-07-2009 04:07AM

Only time I did was when I was about 19 and broke and we brought in cans to this crappy nightclub, where i was informed by a rather large'd necked chap that they didn't serve cans of Bud.

I was outraged and proceeded to write a stern (dirty) letter on the walls of the toilet.

only got as far as " I steee~" before I was hauled out in mid erm... sentance.

I have had a lot of respect for bouncers from that night on.
