    Just wondering if anybody knows if coppers id over 18's, or over 21's??

    I ask because i know a girl who swears that every time she goes the limit is one year older than she is eg: last year she was 19, was told it was over 20's, this year @ 20 she is told its over 21's??

    I used to do the door on a nightclub in town and iv never heard of any club anywhere bein over 20's?? I have also never heard of a club changing its age policy every year?? Boggles the mind i tells ya...

    there must be something wrong if she can't get into coppers with a valid id.

    Indeed, this place is normally well easy to get into. I've fell into it a few times :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,691 ✭✭✭✭drunkmonkey


    I think you can get in when your 17...

    I've seen a few 18th birthday parts down here in the blue lagoon:pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,767 ✭✭✭✭molloyjh


    I've known people from 16 up to get into Coppers. They are notorious for letting anyone in, regardless of age or sobriety level. I've even been there once (a few years ago now) when one of the lads admitted to being younger than the minimum age, and he was hammered, and he still got in. So to be honest I've no idea why she's getting grief......

    OP,
    You'll probably get more responses for this question in any of the county forums, other than Dublin, to be honest.

    Fixed that for you


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,584 ✭✭✭shane86


    18 years or older Id say. Though tbh to want to go there requirwes a mental age of seven.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 960 ✭✭✭:|


    officially, it was 20s then they bumped it upto 21


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,974 ✭✭✭✭Gavin "shels"


    Passed it last night and there was lads who looked about 12 trying to get in not to mention a group of females drinking cans right outside of it and think they got in.

    Surely she can tell they don't want to let her in so they lie about the age policy?

    Except the Cork one because Cork culchies have a pathological fear of not going home at the weekends, and they have the frightful Reardens/Havana Brown's - the Cork Coppers.

    I've been reading a lot about this lost tribe that have been discovered in Brazil. The first thing they'll do when the whiteman eventually meets them is get concessions to go to Copper Face jacks along side the rest of the red faced men of the soil that frequent that kip

    She probably looks like a scanger (to the door staff) and the lads use whatever's the first excuse to come to mind to knock her back.

    the only requirement for coppers is to be so drunk that you dont realise you're going into coppers. she's not missing anything anyway, place is a kip, full of the type of ditchpigs that go to county colours nights

    I was there once years ago for about 20 minutes then i had to leave as the beer was the worst I ever tasted and some fat chicks were giving me and my mate stick because we weren't entertaining their efforts to talk to us that well. Next time I'm home should I check it out? Is it easy to pick up some willing slag in the place? Unfortunately they don't have places like that down here, but there doesn't seem to be as many ugly/desperate/drunk people here.

    :D

    Does anyone actually know what Coppers looks like inside? It's been a few years since I was there but anytime I was I was always the drunkest I can be. Therefore, I have no idea what Coppers look like except that the toilet are at the back (hazy memories of stumbling there!)

    I've never heard them say an age limit of anything other than over 18s. I believe underage people do go there regularly as well. Are you sure the girl in question doesn't look a bit dodgy?

    Oh, BraziliaNZ. My OH does know some place in Wellington like coppers. He actually pointed it out to me and said that is the Wellington Coppers. You could make a special trip for a slag!


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 5,671 ✭✭✭BraziliaNZ


    i think i know the place, it's called dockers or something, never been. Girls in NZ are very insular and hard to get in their knickers. I only seem to get my leg over on foreigners.
