Quiet place to meet?

humanji · 19-09-2006 12:08pm #1

Myself and some friends are trying to find a place in Dublin to meet on a regular basis. The group will be between 4-8 people at times and want to meet from about 6pm to about 9pm on week days. Basically it's to plan a production company we're forming and previous meetings in pubs have never been to fruitful

So we were wondering if anyone knows of a small room anywhere that can be rented cheaply or for free, that we could use?

There's a nice little section in the back of the stags head maybe it can be reserved.

Toddy's Bar, at the Gresham Hotel on O'Connell Street is a quiet bar. No music, and it's never busy, except on GAA match days. Lots of quiet corners etc.. I'd highly recommend checking it out.

Thanks for the replies, but we were wanting to keep away from pubs and try and get a quiet room. If we go onto producing films and the like, we're going to need space to possibly audition or maybe even haul in a tv to screen test footage and the like.

Your best bet would maybe be to hire conference facilities in a hotel, which might not be so cheap.

Failing that, you could book a room in an cheap-hotel like Bewleys for about €79 for 24 hours. Not so bad if you divvy up between 8 of you.

The library or the cinema

Sorry - but how about one of your houses? Whoever has the biggest kitchen table?

The problem with our houses is that we live on different ends of the county with no one in the middle, so we thought the city centre area would be a nice middleground.
The only downside to the cinema is that the films aren't long enough and we'd be thrown out

I really cant stress this enough but there is a Statue of William Conningham on Dawson street near the entrance to the Dail and if you are with someone special its a lovely quiet place with a few trees to spend on a winters night in the city center....

you can tell I was in love once

Well we may have sorted something like that. One of the guys may be able to use a porta-cabin thingy in a place he works, but we'll have to wait a week or two before his boss comes backl.

Filmbase charge €90 for their rooms and personally I think they're a shower of b*****ds
