Dublin Pub and Club mega-thread

Wishbone Ash

OK folks - every second thread in the Dublin City Forum lately seems to relate to pubs, clubs, party venues etc.

From now on all new queries should go here or will be moved to this thread.

If someone has a genuine reason for keeping a seperate thread, I'm willing to listen but otherwise it will be placed in here.

Anyone know if this place is still open?

I think it was around Parnell st/O'Connell St. area...

I remember logging onto their website before but cant find anything online about it AT ALL now...

John Mason

It's a beauty saloon called charming now

Pen1987

Thanks... Do you know if the people who run it moved to a diffirent location by any chance?

it wasnt really the type of place i would frequent. i only know it has changed names because my bus stop is outside it

Pen1987

thanks again. Sorry for all the questions. I'll put it this way, would you know where those who do frequent the place may frequent now? Around when did it close?

The people who went there could go to any number of other places in dublin or even may have stopped going to clubs altogether.

Are you trying to find someone who went there?
Which doesn't matter there isn't really a place that opened up and took all the punters from this place this doesn't really happen when a club/pub closes.

Thats true, usually I find that when a place closes like that, people tend to split and divide, usually to their 2nd favourite pub/club, which could be anything anywhere!
The only thing I can think of would be that prior to closing, if any other places were advertising there or handing out fliers that people may just follow the crowd.... You never know though, someone might know more about it...

What if its p1sssing rain? Still gonna jump around between pubs? Doubt you'll get a group of lads with 11 pints each on them into Bruxelles at half 11 on a Saturday night.

father_ted9t9

We did same 12 last year with 60 people on 7th Dev and there was no probe, and if a pub us too full you go to closest one to it instead!!

Hello, does anyone know if there are any sheesha bars in Dublin? Not where you buy sheesha but where you smoke them? I miss it so...

fatal

Was there ever any shisha bar in Ireland?I dont think there ever was.
Why not get yourself a shisha and toke with a few buddies at home,its the way its supposed to be done!!
O and if you are looking to buy flavour,can I suggest that you buy "al fakher" branded stuff.

Dancor

How long have you known this fella?

Varkov

Don't take her to the pub, take him cake tasting. Bitches ****ing love cake.

Berty

jon1981

Pighead

Take her to wherever your heart leads you dear jon. Except if it leads you to Fitzsimons. That place is a kip.

Don't think that location has much to do with the quality of toast. It's more to do with the toaster or grill.

Slap....COPper Face Jacks.

Bring her to Blackrock baths for a swim and a nice cold picnic.

The Bleedin' Whoooower...HORSE. The Bleedin' Horse.

whats this happy hour! wheres the bloody support!

I hear The George is one of those queer little pubs in Dublin.

Dinter

Take her out to Chasers, just off the Kylemore road. It's a new 'superpub' that recently opened. Best way to describe it would be as a cross between Ron Blacks and Dandelion with a far more down to earth, chilled out, crowd.

This is the kind of place where it's all about being seen so make sure you're dressed well as door staff can be a tad sticky. A little bit of ostentatious gold jewellery is the way to go. The dress code is usually business casual but there's a more relaxed sporty casual look about the place on a Wednesday night.

Chasers will impress her no end especially its exceptionally helpful bar staff who can usually be counted on to provide a free bus service into town at the end of the night. I think the terminus is around James Street but you'd need to double check as sometimes the route goes out to Tallaght depending on the crowds.

Best of luck.

Turd Ferguson

Take her to the bathroom of a Supermacs. Its the most romantic place in Dublin. Apparently over 45% of kids born in the last 3 years were conceived there.

And remember to give a thumbs up to the Indian security guard on the way out!

Captain Darling

Take her to the Dublin City Forum. I hear that place is great for a first date. Google it and you'll get it handy enough.

Degsy

We call them "beergardens" where people smoke hashish in this town!:p

tbaymusicman

you can smoke sheesha in the tea garden, it a really nice place on Ormond Quay, just down from the Morrison, unfortunely it's doesn't sell alcohol only, as the name suggests, tea.

Just like to recommend The Oval on Abbey St for a new pint. Had one there tonight, quality pint.

el_milkbottle_o

hi peeps, my friend and mise are having a joint night out for our 21st in a few weeks and we're looking for suggestions on where to go??? tried to reserve an area in dandilions but they don't accomodate 21sts (the cheek!) so somewhere similar to this place would be a good start....
tripod was mentioned but a lot of our friends wouldn't be that into the dance scene....never been to velvet so not sure what that place is like....
uber-stressed!!!!!

any feedback would be welcome!!!

hi guys
i have some people over here and they want to go to some cool pub/bar, possibly not empty

Yesterday I told to some of them to go to the citybar on dame street and they had a lot of fun...

do you have any suggestions? I really dunno what's up on a wednesday...

they are all foreigners so we need to show them what Dublin can offer

runswithascript

Is there anywhere decent in town that has a drinks promotion running on Wednesdays?

OK, not an equiry, just a heads up..

Venturing from my usual haunt I decided to pay the Darndale Hilton a visit tonight, they've recently opened their newly renovated bar.

On entering I was mightly impressed, as were my usual section of fine beer's commando's..

The place is really nice, with a huge big open fireplace and comfy seating.

A Carlsberg cost me €5.10 which was a little hard to swallow (the price not the beer), but I thought - 'Well Martin, if it keeps the riff/raff away its worth it'..

And thats all the good I've to say about the place.

Its let down, and this is a bug-bear with me -by unfriendly foreign bar staff.

Now I truely believe that nothing can replace the craic you'll have with local Irish bar tenders, "Here Mick, still us on another pint" kind of thing.

Not in this place!.. At 23:47 we we hungry, so tried to order some grub/soakage "Can we order food place" .. says I... "Sworry, food finish 2 mins ago" - :eek:

Now Campions is two minutes away and we normally get Jacobs crackers, mustard, cheese & ham etc to enjoy with our last round.. Oh man was I hungry now!..

Stayed for another round or four then we left promising that although its really nice inside, it'll never replace a proper local & Mick at the bar!.

I have to agree with you there Mairt. I only really enjoy a drink in my local. I never have to order - it's an automatic assumption. When I'm with my drinking buddies on a Thursday/Saturday night, the barman will know who's round it is etc. and when to drop the crisps/peanuts etc.

When Mrs Wishbone Ash makes an appearance, they know what tickles her fancy.

I hate going to other pubs but it has to be done now and again. The thoughts of these stupid Christmas parties crap coming up!
