Salthill nightclubs of old

A: definitely sounds like Vagabonds. Naked on a Friday was best club I've been to bar none, before or since, (ok, so that might be influenced by the fact that it was my haunt during the influential age of 18-19 - until they bloody closed it! - but still
)
B: wouldn't have been The Castle, would it? I only ever went on a Thursday or Friday though, so can't remember if it had Ruby Tuesdays or not.
Edited to add: Actually, re-reading I don't think A is Vagabonds after all, not if you're describing other clubs as being on the same side as it. Vagabonds was on the seafront, and there were no other clubs near it. A sounds like it was probably The Castle in fact. That was the last club on the left heading towards the seafront, iirc.
Means I've no idea what B is though. Trying to remember all the Salthill clubs when I was in college. CJs has already been mentioned. The Warwick was (is?) on the other side of the road (same side as the church). Um, something tickling my mind about another club on the left that also began with a C, but I'm probably getting mixed up between The Castle and CPs.
Bah, I shall have to go ask my slightly older college friends now. This is going to bug me.0 -

The oasis is beside the Warick hotel not, opposite O'Connors pub?? (unless you've been drinking heavily of course)
Possibly
.
O'Connors used to own a place almost behind the Hibernian building. It was a hotel and nightclub (possibly CJs).
As you walked (as I walked/stumbled) from the old cinema down to the prom, my recollection is The Oasis (with palm tree murals outside and ever so friendly bouncers:rolleyes:) was on the right, as was the Warwick, this venue owned by one of the O'Connors was on the left. The Castle was durther down on the left and Setantas on the right down towards the prom.
This was 1988/1992, and I seem to remember that the Oasis looking derelict a few years ago so there is probably something different on the site now.0 -

My bad, confusing the past with the present! How come Google hav'nt introduced Google Temporal (kinda like google maps but a second slider for back in time!) Oasis is the same building, just not used for anything. Think it was a strip club, then some lads tried to rekindle it as a club but people were not really ready for a salthill revival. 0 -

Would that not have been better know as the Celtic International building? Or the Friends First Building? Hibernian where there for a short time in comparison before they moved up to Knocknacarra.
Yes, your right. I thought Hibernian took over the first company there and just put in the first name that came to mind.My bad, confusing the past with the present! ...Think it was a strip club, then some lads tried to rekindle it as a club but people were not really ready for a salthill revival.
I remember talk of a strip club. Reminds me of the time in the Oasis when a very kind person offered me the services of his girlfriend for 20 minutes outside. I declined,thinking that getting robbed and the crap beaten out of me wasnt how I wanted to finish the night.
Salthill revival is probably best left alone (at least for old fogies like me) a bit like Bosco, was great at the time but wouldnt want to sit through it now.0 -

Now, what the hell was the interim name of the Oasis, before it became Angels and then the Oasis again. It was when it went ****e, around the same time of the Baywatch/CJs identity change. (Oasis was only good when Eileen and that mad oul lad Brian (also of the Lisheen) were there).
Was it called Liquid in between that period or was that later?
Ah I remember the chippy, think it was called the Wimpy[where Supermacs is now] the queues for that place. I remember walking everywhere too, taxi me ar$e, need that money form me naggin'

Went to an 'alternative' (mostly non-drinking) hen recently, the day of events was to end up in a nightclub, but there was much disagreement.
The Warwick came up, there was much rolling of eyes..but secretly we were all delighted! Back to the scene of the crime(s). Have to say the younger crowd there were ****e dancers that night, a lot of shuffling and looking around, we blew them off the floor :P
And I am pretty sure "stuck in the middle" was played. 0 -
Haha I'll have to plan a weekend down in Galway pretty soon and head to the Warwick for old time sake!!:Dinisboffin wrote: »And I am pretty sure "stuck in the middle" was played.0 -

Nope. Passed it yesterday, its still there, still shut down, and getting grottier by the day.
To confuse things further though, I remember going to Ruby Tuesday in Setanta years back, around 92.
What was the name of that sergeant that seemed to be on a personal mission from god to close down every nightclub in Salthill?. Was it Sugrue?. I remember raising a toast to him and Judge Garavan (in absentia) any time I'd get sloshed out there.0 -

Only one person has mention the Oz, there used to be a lot of bands playing there and didn't it become Setanta? Then there was the International and CJ's with all the complimentry passes that used to be hand out in the bars in town. This, of course, before any night clubs were opened in town. Was'nt the Bently the first in town?
The OZ became DeBurgos but at that stage Salthill was pretty dead ,people had moved into town.I remember at one stage there was a pretty big drugs raid in the place, don't know what it was operating as at the time.
