Barcode criticism Unfair

NCIRL · 21-12-2005 3:09pm #1

Iv read the criticism about Barcode on here and its really harsh on the place people saying its full of scumbags, im from Beaumont which wouldnt be classified as a "rough" area and enjoy most night in Barcode and have never ever had one bit of trouble.

The place is big spacious , modern you are always guarenteed a seat and table , the drinks are €3 most the people i talk to there are real nice and sound.

And as for the bouncers againiv never had one bit of trouble with them and they're usually grand with telling me to enjoy my night.

So all in all i think people are just jumping on the Lets slag barcode bandwagon.

I've been there once or twice and I really don't have anything bad to say about the place. I'm not big into night clubs but at least this place is bright and it's easy enough to have a conversation if you so wish.

I wasn't too thrilled about the mandatory cloak room policy they seem to have though.

NCIRL · 21-12-2005 3:15pm

Yeah i suppose but im sure they dont want to be blamed if your coat gets robbed while your up getting a drink

Barcode is a joke, full of scangers and the bouncers are pri*ks.

You must be a hot girl, that's why it's so easy.

I got barred for "looking tired". My friends are never allowed in "Not tonight lads". We go to DCU and dress well. Fu*k barcode it's a joke. I wouldn't be caught dead in there. It is criticised for a reason.

haaha akindoc got totally destroyed in another forum trying to claim that there is scientific proof of the existence of god! , and now she cant get into a bar maybe you should try praying to get in HAHAHAHAH.
oh and baarcodes full of "scanger" i take offence to such a remark as calling others scangers POSH ****!
thats my justifiacation

Was one thread not enough?
I don't see the need to go starting another thread on the same topic tbh.

raheny red · 21-12-2005 6:13pm

Barcode is great.

Akindoc you mates are not let in for reason because they probabley go up in groups. Just go up in ones or twos and it's grand.

Going there this friday

:cool:

I'm from Edenmore and I always get in

:cool:

Ah the sweet, sweet taste of sour grapes.

Akindoc wouldn't be caught dead in there - but not through lack of trying by the sounds of it.

Barcode is sh1te full stop. Sh1t DJ and sh1t general layout of the place, it looks more like a wedding reception hall than a nightclub. I havent found it full of skangers, more like full of uni heads and snobbish culchies who love cheesy music. Its not the worst (Redz being hell, Tramcos being a place that I nearly died at due to lactose intolerance brought on by the cheese they played) but its not the best either. If you like The Killers, have a sh1te head of hair and you hung around the Central Bank in a Nirvana hoodie until you were 17 yil love it. But for people who never became a twat in the teenage years it should be avoided like the plague.

They didnt let me in the last time I went and tbh I didnt give a sh1te. My mate came out of the club and we headed into town for decent tunes.

Santa Claus · 22-12-2005 12:28pm

Go to that gym so I've been there twice just to see what it was like.
It's kiddie central in there, think the only people over 21 were the staff and myself !

Cloakroom policy is a joke if you smoke as you have to freeze your balls off outside although I've been told by the bouncers that the reason they have it is that kids were sneaking in spirits in their coat pockets !

FreeAnd.. · 22-12-2005 12:33pm

sounds like the measures that were in place for teenage discos back in the day. Its a wonder they even serve drink in there they should just turn it into an under 18's hangout.

Tusky · 22-12-2005 12:37pm

Horrible horrible place. Full of fake tan, lynx & guys wearing clothes they bought straight from the window of topshop. Dont get me started on the music or the "no excitable dancing" signs. There are cameras everywhere...there is a tacky plastic fountain out the back. The DJ is a twat and has played maniac 2000 a fair few times..

I could go on, but I wont.

StupidLikeAFox · 22-12-2005 12:49pm

I was there once, quite liked the place. It was different, with the pool tables and that. However i would rarely plan a night there as you're never guaranteed to get in. Ive heard of a dose of people jus getting turned away for no apparent reason, sometimes people on their own, 2 or 3 lads, a guy with his gf. So i figure the bouncers really pick and choose unless maybe they recognise ya or something. Its as good as anywhere tbh.
And the music isnt the worst, a little bit of everything if ya ask me, not just this 100% RnB crap ya get in most clubs in dublin (which i really hate). I mean some places play (Dontcha wish your girlfriend was hot like me" and that "Hey Mr.DJ, jump on the replay" or something 2 or 3 times a night - headwreckin

Jonny Arson · 22-12-2005 7:05pm

I actually like Barcode mainly due to it's layout and style but apart from that it does deserve the criticism it gets.

Why? Mainly their policy for getting into the place. I've been refused entry far more times than i've been let in. Everytime I've been refused it's been for..... no reason whatsover. The doormen are arrogant pr!cks (obviously not unique in Dublin) more than any other place i've come across. It is so frustrating when you make an effort dresswise and are not drunk and don't get in while the scumbags with drink on them behind you get in no bother. I know for a fact of 16 year old girls getting into barcode too. On the rare occasion you do get in the place is ridiculously overcrowded and you can't move. Barcode do everything to attract the scumbags so if they want that sort of clientel they are more than welcome to them. I haven't been to Barcode in 7 months now and i'm not the only person who has given up on the place.

Getting refused from Barcode.

How pathetic can some people get?

partygurl2005 · 24-12-2005 7:58am

barcodes kewl but the dancefloors 2 small!

melekalikimaka · 24-12-2005 5:22pm

its fairly crap, only due to bouncers, i've been tons of times...yet i go sober once and they dont let me for no reason, they can be a great laugh and then ass holes the next week, really puts you off when they have no real admitance plan, the let in the dirtiests of dublin, let when respectable peole come along the dont let them in, at least other clubs are consistant with policies of what type they let in, its not like the place is easy to get to, ya dont get in your nights pretty screwed and thats what puts you off the place, i can handle the large amount of scum inside, i dont have to talk to them, its just a big bondi, in a dodgy area with menstral bouncers

knackers.

raheny red · 26-12-2005 6:34pm

How are we knackers??

senordingdong · 26-12-2005 7:25pm

Becasue we can get into Barcode.

raheny red · 27-12-2005 9:07pm

^^^^^

Probably that as well but I think he was calling me a knacker for being a shels fan

musicality · 31-12-2005 12:04pm

Haven't been there yet,

I'm still studying the debate to see what the story is.

Most people seem to have at least one horror story alright.

Stark · 31-12-2005 12:10pm

I used to go there after work every Friday and it was great. That was a year and a half ago though.

07-01-2006 5:18am

Iwanna go to barcode!i have long collegey hair!will i get in?

raheny red · 07-01-2006 11:17am

That shouldn't be a problem really once it's not too ragged looking. Before you go out use the GHD to straighten your hair!!:eek:

senordingdong · 07-01-2006 8:39pm

The place is not a kip.
It's relativly nice.

Yes, it has loads of knackers in it but few of them are troublesome and unless you grew up in donnybrook ro somewhere like that, it's nothing you can't handle.

That said, I only go to hang out with my friends who go there, and with drink that cheap, it's not much of a problem.

I can't imagine there being anythign else that needs to be said.

Lone Stone · 09-01-2006 10:48pm

considering they let a friend of mine's 15 year old sister and her 14 year old friend get in every weekend !
there is definitly something wrong with the place they dont even look 18!

senordingdong · 09-01-2006 11:25pm

Are you saying you wouldn't find under agers anywhere else?

:| · 10-01-2006 8:38pm

I've been to barcode and i found it extremely enjoyable, the musics FUN not cheesy, its a great laugh. How can there be so many underagers if its so hard to get into? And so what if there is, there's underage people in almost every club and pub in town

C_Breeze · 10-01-2006 8:50pm

WOW .
had never had ANY problems regarding barcode or getting in .
Id even go as far as say the Bouncers are actually cool.

"enjoy your night mate" is always said when i get in .

I think barcode is great and the criticism is definitley unjust .

as long as you're normal lookin i suppose they let you in .
Ive seen "rockery" types refused before and scummers also - but too right.

Bcode get my thumbs up anyway

vannistelrooy10 · 10-01-2006 8:57pm

i have been to a worse place than barcode...................it called k2 in howth utter tacky ****e with the dj playing barbie girl alot...and i though barcode had bad music!!!!!!!!!barcode could do with a bit of the crue

raheny red · 12-01-2006 12:55am

Yes K2 is a kip you get CANS instead of pints :eek: :eek: :eek:
