UCC Boards Beers - now with less poll!
-
31-10-2009 2:00am#1I'm putting this thread up to see what interest (if any) there is on having a meet-up of UCC boardsies in a local establishment in the next few weeks. All are welcome to give their input as to what pub and date would suit best. If we get sufficient numbers (25+ people), i'm sure there's a likelihood of free finger food being provided on the nite. Its a good opportunity for us as a group to get to know each other and hopefully form new friendships out of it.
I myself would favour the Thirsty Scholar (Art McBrides to you first years) on Western Road. A very student friendly pub with good beers on tap and a lively atmosphere.

Good stuff! I wouldn't be a fan of the Old Bar myself although the prices there are very reasonable. If we were to stay on campus i would be leaning more towards the New Bar.I like Art McBrides but I am constantly irked by their prices. They claim to be a student friendly bar, but their cheapest pint is Beamish at ?3,70??
Old bar is my suggestion, not too loud, great prices, and a cool atmosphere. If people are intent on going somewhere off campus, then Box Foxes on a non class party night out is cool, it's a nice bar + does a few cool drink deals.
Anywhere that does'nt have drinks deals should be ruled out, and anywhere where a huge crowd/insane noise (Preachers, you know who you are), should also be ruled out IMO.
You don't meet new people by trying to scream at them over the new Kings of Leon single.
That's my 2 euros. :P
*@ Nova, if you want really cheap Beamish, go to Callanans on Georges Quay, beside Sober Lane. They do it for E3 a pint!!
Pity its an old man's bar.
*@ Orizio - you only hate Limerick City people! Us West Limericians are a different breed of folk altogether! Its not possible to dislike us

Eh Grenache, how do you hold a hurley properly? Come on now, I'm sure someone on County Limerick knows...don't they?
How many All-Irelands have ye won again, I keep losing count after two...0 -

It depends which competition you're referring to. We hold several All Ireland Set Dancing MedalsEh Grenache, how do you hold a hurley properly? Come on now, I'm sure someone on County Limerick knows...don't they?

As for the hurley, hold it like you're gonna use it. I hear Cork are getting stuck for players lately after a few retirements, ye might have to borrow a few of the camogie team. Keep the hurley with you man, Denis Walsh might be calling on you yet :pac:0 -
I'm up for this, if you all promise not to be too weird. I'll force 1-2 of my mates who are members to come down too.
Also +1 for the old bar ! S'cheap ! Also I don't have a clue where the other place is. But mostly for the cheapness and the fact that it is ~50m from my house ! 0 -

The Old Bar has a good ambience to it, but i always find it cold in there. E2.75 is great, but unfortunately Fosters is possibly the worst lager ever brewed. So bad even the Australians hate it!thebigcheese22 wrote: »+ 1 for the Old Bar
2.75 pints of Fosters, can't go wrong!
Never gone to a Boards beers before... But ye guys seem sound so I'll make it!
How much are they for Budvar and the like in there?0 -

Think its like E3 for a pint of Bavaria, still very cheap! I don't know the prices of the others coz I'm a cheapo when it comes to beer

I go there quite regularly (in fact, I'm going there tonight!), and while it feels like an old mans bar, some of the hottest girls ever to set foot in Cork can be seen sipping on half pints of Murphys in there on a nightly basis.
Not a good place for a meetup though.
Old Oak is another cool place which is always good for a large group of people meeting IMO.hmm, good idea methinks! I'm not that mad on the old bar idea though, coz feeling like a big pack of nerdy internet people in the middle of college might make it more awkward...
Well nobody bats an eyelid when the WARPS and Netsoc do anything, so I think we should be ok. 0 -

Some other time (specify on thread)+ 1 for Old bar.
Cider tends to taste a lot like water in the Thirsty Scholar... -_-
Bulmers is a must. :cool:The Old Bar has a good ambience to it, but i always find it cold in there. E2.75 is great, but unfortunately Fosters is possibly the worst lager ever brewed. So bad even the Australians hate it!

€2.75? I wouldn't care if it was piss.Yeah I can't go either. Unless everyone wants to skip the alchohol and have a late night study group in UCC Library?
You're the mod! You have to represent!
Good idea grenache. I'll be all for it.0 -

A college girl that likes beer? Fascinating! Thought all the girlies in UCC went for vodka. I dont think anyone here is from Limerick City so no need to worry bout knivescaptainspeckle wrote: »mmm.... i like beer. oh yeah boards beers sounds good... im a little scared though! what if you all carry knives???
@ electro bitch: I would imagine sometime in the next 2-3 weeks, a Tues or Wed nite would probably be best. If Orizio could maybe add the poll to see which nite/location suits best....0 -

Still, make a request for a poll if you want, you're entitled to your say!Er, thursday would be too short notice, wouldn't it? Besides i have to study for a politics test coming up monday. So it has to be next week at the earliest, or count me out.
No I was just wondering about the dates. Whenever suits me fine.0 -

Poll! Poll I say! In all seriousness it might make stuff a bit less confusing and help people decide if they want to come if they can just look at a poll rather than have to read pages of posts0 -
