Trinity Rooms

Skuxx

I heard last night that Trinity Rooms is 19's now to get in??

Has anybody else heard this or know how true it is?

The bouncers seem to pluck the age limit out of thin air in that place.

Yep, under 19's only. They have been running it on a pilot basis for the last two years.

Ha ha, Under 19s only, that might well explain how Molly's is always full

Trinity Rooms has been "19 and Over" on Saturday nights for years.

Really i never knew that!!
Thanks anyway I was worrying that they had changed it or somethin:(

No I think it really is 19s now. Some of my friends went down last night and said that there's a sign up now as well. We just went to Bitterend instead.

Do they still provide the nappy changing service for the clientele?

Poxyshamrock

They're gonna lose so many customers

zuroph

from what i can gather, new stricter door policy since the easter weekend. The point is to lose the younger customers, and attract back the older clientele. I also hear other clubs policy getting more relaxed due to recession, so should be an interesting swing in the next few months

Plenty of chance TBF, Lots of good gigs lined up for the summer, the only club in Limerick doing that, and already hearing plenty of moaning on here about the crowds in the other places, so when theres even more "kids" in the other places, and a decent gig going on down there, the choice would be pretty simple.

I'd be interested to hear some proof that other places are being more lax on the door due to the recession? Icon still over 20s and nancys 21s they haven't changed.

There's no way it's over 19s every night, Mary I has the place every Tuesday and there's plenty of students who aren't 19 yet. Maybe it's a weekend thing.

Passed by the arch that goes into the bar last night at 10 pm and the gates were closed.

dont think they open the bar on a sunday, that was always generally the case i think.

As for other places changing their policy, its all hearsay, but Icon defintely changed their attitude a long time ago about who they would and wouldnt let in. Nancys has never changed, why would they, they have an established crowd that they like. I've heard mixed things about how Angel lane is running their door now.

SuperWoody101

I have been in the Icon many times in the past and never once have I caused trouble in there and never went up to the door pissed drunk. Then one night me and a few friends who came down from Cork for the weekend went down to the Icon and I was the only one who got stopped (my friends from Cork had never been in the Icon before) I asked the bouncer (who let me in many times in the past) why I could not go in that night and he told me that they had trouble with me before (not true) I said nothing and we all went to another club. A few weeks later I went down to the Icon and the same thing again! it's crazy as I have never done a thing wrong down there, That was about a year ago and I have never gone back.

Vertigo100

Icon has been over 20s for the last 5 years and that still hasn't changed I can assure you of that. Couldn't tell you about angel lane. They have a sign saying over 21s but from what I gather that's not strictly enforced.

PeakOutput

i heard trinity rooms are trying to get the 'old' crowd back so they can compete with angel lane

they want to get rid of the children crowd rep they have gotten themselves at the weekends since angel lane opened. i dont think it will work unless they close over the summer and re brand the newest place (ie angel lane) is always the fashionable place

ye in theory icon and smyths are over 21s all the time but during the week its not enforced at all but they are defo more strict at the weekend than trooms

iv only been to angel lane once and it was a c+s thing so everyone got in nice place same poser crowd that used to be in trooms though. maybe its different at the weekends.

iv been hearing good things about nancys alot recently sounds like its not a student crowd at all like everywhere else during the week so i think ill check it out when i get the chance

Limerick is a fickle place, once a place has lost its draw that's it usually unless they have some kind of radical revamp. What kind of "good" gigs do they have planned? If its DJ's and the like that'll be nice for the kids.

irishvamp90

if trinity rooms are serious about changing the crowd it would be need to be 20's min....19's is has bad as kids.or better still leave in the nice kids..not the chav boys with diamond earrings and stripey jumpers crowd/knacker girls.i like trinity rooms sometimes but the scobe crowd on a saturday is a problem.

Resi12

I think it's a joke, i'm eighteen myself and soon there will nowhere to go till i'm 20! The only place really left is molly's and that's not even that great..

Trinity are getting much stricter but to the wrong people, they leave in underager's and then don't leave it people who are over eighteen! Its very annoying..

Iang87

thing about trinity rooms is:

1) every scumbag in limerick goes there
2) ridiculously full on saturdays/thursdays
3) ****ing yuppies with pink tops and collars up everywhere
4) people always seem to have the sniffles in the toilets (never figured out why)
5) bouncers are pricks who dont realise they're only bouncers there cos they haven't got the intelligence to actually do anything worthwhile with themselves
6) damn near impossible to get a drink and when you do it gets knocked by some drunk twat who was jumping around lik a knob with his 16 year old friends.

Apart from that lovely spot

Bring back Docs. :pac:

Trinity rooms is a ****in play ground for pedofiles. anal pain is ok. Icon is the best. not saying Icon is brilliant, but out of the 3 its probably the best. bouncers are **** everywhere. nobody should let them have an effect on their night. thats what the brick heads want. u get turned down you head away and say nothing.
Who ever said earlier that durin the week its very young with all these 17 year old students. of course it is. if it wasn't for them the night clubs would be shut durin the week. so if you 18, just go out during the week and leave us alone durin the weekend.

Haha no its not tough at all. Its just full of young little tossers who think they're scumbags... but at the end of the day... they wear pink T-shirts and their parents pick them up after the night club. It's definetly not rough.
I did see Micheal Jackson talking with Gary Glitter at the DJ box though...

irishvamp90

trinity is actually a great club i think..bouncers seem good and helpful,had a dealing with them one night over a handbag,cctv all over.just on a weekend night its mainly young,alot of decent lads acting the scumbag,but there is a element of fred perry,stripey jumpers,diamond earring type lads there.at least make them take off all their scobe earrings going in it might make think twice and give a bit of respect.tuesdays and thursdays night are great for students its just friday and saturday is a bit scummy but never seen any bad trouble inside as i said earlier the security seem very good in there

Ridiculous, one of the tighter door policies in the city
2) ridiculously full on saturdays/thursdays
Thursdays fair enough, student night, Saturday, not really
3) ****ing yuppies with pink tops and collars up everywhere
Really not, place has the broadest range of customers, from rugby types to metallers and punks.
4) people always seem to have the sniffles in the toilets (never figured out why)
Again, not the clubs faults but they do have3 a zero tolerance policy and I've seen them eject more than a few people for this. cubicles are tightly monitored to make sure theres no "sharing" going on.
5) bouncers are pricks who dont realise they're only bouncers there cos they haven't got the intelligence to actually do anything worthwhile with themselves
Rubbish again, the politest door staff I've come across in any club, they'll hold the door for you, chat and smile. when the club changed over from docs the new owners made a huge effort to change the perception of "bouncers". I know for a fact that this is one of the things they pride themselves on.
6) damn near impossible to get a drink and when you do it gets knocked by some drunk twat who was jumping around lik a knob with his 16 year old friends.
6 bars. 5 of them very very long. Never had a problem getting served in there.

I just hate hearing the clichés rolled out.

Zuroph in fairness, you must work there do you???? The bouncers there are pricks and they are not tight on the door. they leave every 16 year old girl that goes out into that night club as long as they are dressed... accordingly (if you know what I mean). They may pride themselves on being complete wasters because the bouncers in trinity rooms are definetly among the worst i've ever met. particularly this fat clown called gary that works there. what an idiot. The Zero tolerance in the toilets.... i'm pretty sure every night club has a zero tolerance on taking drugs in the toilet.
The rest is fair enough.

zuroph

nope, don't work there, know some people that work/worked there, just like the place and hate hearing it bashed, cos without the place i wouldnt get to see some of the acts they bring in, and would be stuck between costellos or ****e chart music on a night out.
I do a bit of magic there from time to time too, and find the crowd easier to approach and chat to than other places.
If you ever have a problem with security down there though, bring it forward to the managers, cos they really do try to provide the most professional security around, and genuinely take all complaints on board.
People just have to accept theres different venues for different people. and yes, the young crowd was annoying me in trinity rooms, but if they're going to make an effort to change that, it suits me, because for me its my favourite for comfort, price, world-famous acts, alternative gigs, etc etc. Their birthday party gig last year was possibly my favourite night out of the year, unbelievable buzz.

TheLoc

Fair enough I suppose. every one has different taste that is true. and all though I just went to town on how bad the bouncers are there, the bouncers are not really any better anywhere else. As for gigs and all that... I don't have the patients to watch some indie freak leapin around in a rainbow dress or some muppet from limerick Rapping. a magic show would be more entertaining. a night club for me is already passed the comfort zone. its about being locked and talkin to my mates and laughing for the entire night. as long as the mates are there it doesn't matter about the rest.

zuroph

Funnily enough, they put on regular magic stuff (once every other month), usually with a big name like Marc Oberon or so on. When the magic conference was in town, they extended invites to all the magicians attending, and i think 8-10 of us were in there doing walkaround magic.
And when I said Alternative, I didnt mean in the alternative miss limerick sense . I meant like lightboard DJs, dark hiphop like dalek, World champion DJs like C2C, bands like alabama 3, Burlesque shows, swing bands etc etc. I just like the variety, if I'm not enjoying one room, I can wander outside, and something totally different is going on.

Im sure some people just want to listen to chart music when they're out, i hear enough of it on the radio all week while working.

TheLoc

I agree. If they sorted out the kids then it could possibly become popular among the older crowd again.

Roadend

I never had a problem with the Docs bouncers and never found them to be ignorant or anything like that They were actually a good laugh as it happens

TheLoc

Would you be a female????

Roadend

Me? No I remember the days when the courtyard door would close at 9.30-10 on a Saturday due to he crowds in Doc's bar, Jimmy Butler often opened the door for a peek out and let me in if I arrived too late as he did with others

TheLoc

Oh right... maybe they just liked you then. From what I remember they weren't too bad but then again, my memory isn't good from them days. docs used to be sooooo easy in so many ways, and it was full of kids well 17 & 18 year olds. thats were i used to go when I was 17. there was one greasy bastard that was there but I can't remember if he was working there near the end of docs or the start of trinity rooms. it was a pure wierd name he had but an absolute tool

Roadend

I dunno, I'm going back about 13 years or so

Couldn't have said it better myself, that was a load of rubbish.
I have never seen scumbag's in Trinity. The staff are actually nice too, the whole "never get served" is a load of rubbish, if one bar is busy you can easily go to another of the many they have there which are like 20 seconds away from each other at most!

Just because some place isn't to your taste does not make it instantly rubbish...

No offence I am not taking a dig but seriously older people have enough pubs/bars in Limerick. Leave young people at least have one left.

name me one place in limerick that doesnt
a) refuse people
b) have scum or "yuppies" drinking there
c) have customers taking cocaine secretly in the jacks.

name one thats void of all three. Your argument is ridiculous. Bouncers don't give reasons to avoid getting into an arguement. managements decision is final. much worse is my mates who were turned away from a club with the line"your shoes are way too cool for this place!" :rolleyes:

I know it's a completely different argument altogether, but using the "it doesn't harm you directly" response to drug-dealing/taking is one of the reasons we have so many drug-dealing scumbags in this city.
