Queer Beers?

Annasopra

This place used to organise a meet up of people for a few drinks

Does anyone think we should try that again?

Sounds like fun

I'd be up for it - college doesn't start back for another month and I have no job, so alcoholism seems like a decent way to pass the time.

jamijary

sounds like a good idea

shydub

Yeah I'd be interested..

Boston

If I'm in the country and free, I'll attend.

ixoy

Not a bad idea! They'll always hold a special place in my heart, given it's where I met my bf

Boston

one of the ones I organised? If so you owe me a pint!

renraw

That sounds like a plan, I'll make it up from the sticks n all

Goodshape

Might depend on the where and when, but a queer beers sounds like fun.

You're more then welcome. I should point out that though I'm not organising this event, heterosexuals have always been welcome at queer beers and I can't imagine that changing. So if you like, bring your straight friends, the more the merrier.

Aard

I'll try to make it if I'm free.

In that case you also owe me a ton of aspirin for all the headaches he's given me since

If I'm free I'll attend.

Any ideas about a venue and date?

L1011

if I'm in the country and not working down the other end of it, I'd go.

Aard

I suggest September; any later and people will start forgetting about it...


And for venue, I'd say Dragon on a Monday (cheap drinks, iirc). It's easy to get a large group-space at the front. Front Lounge doesn't really have a large enough seating area. Same with Panti. The George ... I really just don't wanna go in there I'd also prefer not to go to a straight bar (I don't know what the Queer Beers tradition is reagarding this though).

What do yous think?

rainbow kirby

Dragon sounds good to me - I see what you mean about the Front Lounge and Pantibar and not really having an area suitable for a group.

Boston

traditionally we've hit some straight bar.

I'd prefer this, personally. Not too bothered though.

If the vote's for gay bar's only -- Panti's would get my vote. Not a huge fan of the Dragon... PantiBar's a bit more laid back (depending if there's anything on that night, I guess). Also, plenty of space downstairs if it's needed.

Stark

I agree, I prefer Panti's. Can be hard to get a word in edgeways in the Dragon sometimes.

I'd prefer straight bar too, any suggestions for a good venue Boston?

seanybiker

lol queer beers. Cool name.

Boston

I'd suggest a quiet bar on a quiet night as a social event its best if people could talk to one another. Sub lounge on tara has become very popular with boards beers, then there's places like the longstone beside the screen cinema.

October 2nd?

Time for a poll me things, whose organising it?

jamijary

2nd of Oct sounds good!

Aard

Would a Friday night be that quiet? I've never been to Sub Lounge, so I have no idea :$


The week ending Friday 2nd Oct would be the latest I can attent; after that I'll be abroad.

Boston

Compared to the dragon on a Friday night those places are as quiet as churches, but they're just random ones off the top of my head. We could go to the white horse which would bring back memories. Tbh, I can do any night of the week, but I feel few others are in the same position.

Aard

Yeah you're right - us Dubs should try to make allowances for those travelling up from the country.


I can also make any night of the week.

jamijary

I think Fri nite while not quite might suit those who are travelling and even those who are working and sure it might be better if its not too quite we mite not have anything to talk about!!

Beruthiel

Let me know if you need an Admin to attend in order to keep the rabble at bay.

/Flexes muscles.

Stark

You have powers in real life too?

Boston

if anyone has, Beruthiel has.

Looks like you are

The sub lounge can get very busy, found the harbourmaster to be very quiet on a friday and it's just the same distance down the quays.

I'll be away most of the month, definitely not in a position to be ringing places and booking tables. Harbourmaster is a nice bar and definitely up market enough to be gay friendly.

Was in it a few weeks back with a small gang and on a Friday and there was no need to book, they also do some rather nice wines.

Oh yeah a queer beers down in the docks, there I said it but there are unlikely to be any sailors.

Marshy

October 2? Isn't that Lisbon polling day. Wouldn't wanna waste a chance to have my say on that...

MicraBoy

The Vaults has two for one on a Friday but they serve you twice as slowly.

They have been known to hold gay nights whilst also not being a gay bar.

Annasopra

Excellent - was wondering if there would be much interest - then completely forgot about it

greyed

Can anybody come along? :pac:
