    I will ring and confirm table tomorrow. Crazy busy at the mo - I don't think it's a big deal having a table booked with the market bar anyway and we're starting early enough there should be a corner for us to take over.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,921 ✭✭✭✭hdowney


    curious how the tapas etc thing will work (never done this kinda thing). like do we all order our own whatever it is we want, or do we order platters to share and go dutch on paying and the like. liking the look of the sangria for drinkies but no way in heckers i could drink a litre of the stuff


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 20,366 Mod ✭✭✭✭RacoonQueen


    Depends on the size of the group I suppose. Last time there was only 6 of us and we all had more or less the same amount of grub and drink so we split the bill between the six of us.

    With the dinners we've organised in the athletics forum we usually share the bill as well with bigger groups and people usually put say 30 euro when it's 25, so if anyone feels they only ordered one drink while others were drinking something more expensive there'll probably be enough to cover it. Everything seems to be the same price/similarly priced in the market bar (except sangria which is cheaper than white/red wine) so it'd probably work there as well. I'd have no issue with sangria drinkers paying a few euro's less if we were all splitting the bill and I was drinking white wine.

    That two small dishes and glass of house wine for €14 has already grabbed my attention. :)

    Edit: We all ordered our own last time we went for dinner, but sure if a few people wanted to order a platter between them that'd be fine too. :)

    shame the 2dishes and wine isn't on sats! cos it grabbed mine too. yea i think it'l be best to order and pool, cos of the types of dishes we can order various plates of tapas, then you can eat what your into, and we all put into it. makes sense. not sure wether to have wine or sangria tho!

    Would love to have made it up to this, the really frustrating thing is I'll now be in Dublin Thursday and Friday, going home at about 2am Friday night/Saturday morning! Have an awesome time and save some tapas for me and post them to me :p

    Can you still drink vodka hdowney?

    I had a similar experience on it when much younger (though not as bad as yours) and I sickened myself off it for years.

    Now let's see if I can get out before 7pm (actually be in dublin before 7) I've never tried before. I'm going to have to pace myself big time since I don't normally come home until 5am :)

    That is the main reason I love tapas because I get to try everything. I love the market bar too. Wish I could make it :(


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 20,366 Mod ✭✭✭✭RacoonQueen


    I have absolutely no idea how many are planning on making it to the food part but I've booked for 17 (I always book for uneven numbers as it means there's usually space for at least one more :) ) Not sure if we even have 17 for food It's booked under my name so can anyone planning on making the dinner add their name to the list below so I can pm my name and phone number etc

    Myself and Dolorous plan on being there early so anyone who's on their own or early can text/ring me and we'll be there to meet you. I'll stick this in a pm when I'm sending around everything anyway.

    Food:

    Edit, that reads like a maybe :) I will be there, never had tapas and had to google sangria, defo want to try them :D


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 20,366 Mod ✭✭✭✭RacoonQueen


    D'oh forgot to mention. For groups they have a set menu that's €15 a head + service charge :mad: I *think* it's the same as their normal menu with a selection of everything. If it turns out we have less than 15 I can change the booking and we can just dip off their normal menu so if we could know by Friday how many people will be there for food in case I need to change the booking.
    Again, this is just for the food part of it. Don't really need numbers for the ones who are just coming for drinks. :)

    I will be there for food and so will ChannelNo5.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,921 ✭✭✭✭hdowney


    i shall be there for the food part :D

    gah so set menu, it'd bloody well better be somewhat similar to the general menu (not again you or anything, just think it would be well wrong of them to dole up something completely different to groups than individuals like) also there are some coming who will be looking for non-tapasy food, so forcing us into a set tapas menu could cause problems for those people.

    oh jeez it sounds like i am off on a rant at ye, i am not deffo :o:o:o


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 20,366 Mod ✭✭✭✭RacoonQueen


    If there's not 15 people I'll just ring em and cancel on Friday so we can have the normal menu. Just booking means we'll all get to eat together if we don't book we might be a bit spread out. Set menu sounds a bit crap, I wasn't impressed.

    yea that was what i was trying to convey, i wasn't impressed either. since on their website they do mention service charge for groups, but NOTHING about groups having to have set menu. argh. i just thought it might have come accross like i was having a go at ye, which was deffoly not the case :D

    Can you not book without the set? seems a bit strange, a bit anti-customer :confused:

    I'm sure if 15 people turned up and asked for food they wouldn't turn them away so I might 'cancel' anyway. Arriving at 7 and with no rugby on saturday getting seats shouldn't be an issue anyway.
