Cafe en Seine.....strict?

angeldelight

Just wondering, anybody here been to Cafe en Seine on Dawson St? Are they strict on ID? Cause if they are I couldn't be bothered going just to get turned away but one of my freshers things is in there.

been a few times and never had any hassle. Altough i am 28 so i never expected any trouble. If your worried just go along at six or seven in the evening and you should avoid any hassle.

I think the question should be 'are they stupid', or 'are they partially-sighted', cos if they aren't they are going to card you.

I think the question should be do you want to go to a pub full of **** where they charge a fiver for a pint?

Its a fresher things. So it will be full of people in their year. I guess other people have finally realised that the place is full of **** and stopped going thus them needing to have a freshers event.

2 years ago when I started we only got places like coyote

It's OK, she is unlikely to get carded there, but may need a parent and may need to leave by 9pm.

Here here.

The next whinging student I hear moaning about not getting a grant and having to work to make ends meet is getting a schmack in the mouth. If yis can afford to drink in that cess pit, yis can afford to pay fees.

I'm joining the PDs if this keeps up...

Fees = €4,500+
Alcohol = €2,340 [5 pints @ €4.50 2 nights a week for 52 weeks]

Eitherway fees are far more expensive then alcohol.

Good. It'll keep yis out of s*itholes like Cafe En Seine for even longer then, won't it?



By the way, I'd settle for the €2,340 as a contribution towards the fees...

RuggieBear

Just to continue the general theme....DON'T GO!!! It's ****ing outreageous the price of drink in there. :eek: Can't even imagine how much that place clears a night....massive pub and massive prices. Bastids

UM, what kind of student only drinks 5 pints in one sitting???

Make that 6 cans before you go out and 5 when ur out and i think you've got the jist...


Or just go to the pav and get 4 cans of bavaria for 7.50

angeldelight

Hmmm ok. Prices don't bother me, I won't be drinking. Time for lots of make-up and high heels methinks

You do that

Go with a group of your freshers that look young (but are 18) and if you all get
carded (and the others are 18) then your much more likely to get in..

i doubt youll get carded if its a freshers thing anyways..
good luck !

The bouncers arent that strict in cafe en seine, but the place is full of ****. I prefer sam sara myself - its only 2 doors up or something

jesus_thats_gre

Sam Sara is decent enough.. To be honest, Cafe en Seine is not the worst of places, as with anywhere in Dublin, its fulll of pretencious **** but if you can manage to step down for your high horse for a second, you can actually end up enjoying yourself.. As with anywhere, if you are with someone you get on with, you are sorted...

Bars are being stricter at the moment, they usually are around the first month of college and then they ease off.

Cafe en Seine is a market for golddiggers and posers, hubby hunters and 40 year olds in a mid life crisis looking for some gullible young waif to shag as a mistress.

Go for the experience but avoid like the plague after that.

Sam Sara isnt bad...
(actually found out yesterday what samsara means ... interesting stuff... google it.. it kind of explains a night out in the place...)

Cafe En Seine is a horrible place. It used to be nice before the mega extension. Its just big, wankerish and fake... but as JTG said if you are with a big group of friends you can have a good time anywhere really...
