    Jobs.ie says there is a new nightclub opening in Maynooth. Anybody know where it is going to be? Maybe where the LA used to be?

    *Asks the most 'first year question' possible*

    Where was the L.A?

    Hear about it all the time, can see no evidence of it?

    Oh my, you have made me free old by saying that. :eek:

    I lived in the L.A. in 1st year it may have been a dump but a Monday night €5 in and €2.50 a drink, where could you have gone wrong?

    Though last year (my 2nd year) it was crap every time I went there.

    Let's get a fully boards staffed business going. Haha Mantra was the name of that nightclub in Castlebar that was an awful dive.

    Yeah Monday nights in the LA were the messiest nights Maynooth ever saw.

    I loved the LA.... there really was nothing wrong with it. It was a kip but it was basically fine. I've seen worse places still open.

    Yeah I only went once or twice. Grand place, anyone know why it lost it's license? Is it just being done up or is under new management?

    Are you a firstie yourself?

    LA was/is opposite O neils.

    Amazin place. Same sort of crowd as the old O Zone. I was there once and they gave out free chips and cocktail sausages. FUHKEN DELISH MAN.

    The podiums in there were the best, especially when 5 ppl crammed onto each of them and started hurling abuse at the opposite podium. Good ****en times, simpler times. O Neils is good but the LA made monday night in Mayn.

    RIP

    You're not really selling it as a desirable place by suggesting it had the same crowd as the Hozone did. Ugh, hand sanitizer in the handbag.

    The LA was a dive. Just look at the outside of the building and that gives an indication of how much of a kip it was. And comparing it to the ozone :eek:

    We're students for christ sake, we cant be expecting lavish decor when we're spending €5 in on the door and €2.50 drinks.

    I felt safe leavin LA though, unlike the O Zone, everytime there was a fight outside. And it wasnt your typical student fight.....

    Yea WTF is with that? My mate Robbie who is on the door said the singer/songwriter night was hoppin at the start of the year but now nobody shows up apart from the performers themselves.

    The SU has so much potential. I think it should have been located in the campus apartments. It would make it a far easier social gathering point for people to chill, to actually talk to others, rather than just sit watchin the tv all night or goin on bebo or that shiity facefcuk.

    And what about the less social people that would have to deal with noise and drunks crawling all over the place? Definitely not a good idea.

    The SU has just lost its appeal on a Monday since O'Neills opened in particular.

    Did it even have appeal when the LA was opened?

    Iv nothing against the SU, in fact Bar Ex nights are far better than O neils bradys and the roost nights but apart from that, meh, no appeal. Radical changes need to be made, I just dont know what to change.

    I'd like to see more of a student body input into the SU during lunchtime though. They used to do pub quizzes on Thursdays, (and one of the young ones from the quiz organizers was hot :):):) ). So I think more of a social scene during lunchtime would be great. Maybe a couple of amateur student DJs to play a few sets. (NO RAP MUSIC!!!!) I think it would liven the place up a lot more. Plus it would give the SU more revenue cos people would buy pints and not just take a glass of water.

    Mantra STILL is the name of that hole in Castlebar, and a hole it is.

    when I was in first year the SU was D place to be on a monday! It was always packed and you always had an amazing night and it was competing against d LA at the time. both venues were always hopping. There are enough students in Maynooth to have more than one venue packed each night!
    The SU needs to advertise the 3euro drinks on a monday better... most 1st years dont even know about it!

    The singer songwriter nights on a thursday were brillient at the beginning of the year but again people dont know about it! Advertising is the main problem in the SU! Successes like the Beach party show us that we have a great venue and have the potential to have great nights there every week!

    You can dress it up, call it whatever you want in the hope of attracting more sophisticated clientel, but at the end of the day it's still the LA and those lovely potted plants and water features won't last long come September.
