T.G.C. 1st Beers! Come one, come all! - 11th December - Snail Bar

Will · 25-11-2009 12:28am #1

Ladies and Gentlemen,

We've been throwing around the idea of a beers for the forum here, there's no time like the present

We have a few options. Personally I think the bull and castle is a nice venue with quality beverages of all kinds. The only negative is that it closes relatively early. Another one is karma, or even the capitol bar?

So come forth with your ideas and suggestions.

Wiil and the GC mod collective.

OldGoat · 25-11-2009 8:38am

Yay!

Saturday 21st The Snail Bar (AKA No.3 - AKA The Bar with No Name) Fade Street, off Georges Street.
Just sayin like.

Teferi · 25-11-2009 9:23am

Should it not be a gent's club?

(I only glanced at the site (:pac:) but I wouldn't click that if you are in work/beside your granny)

shellyboo · 25-11-2009 9:57am

No

Oh yay! I second the Bull and Castle, or failing that, Karma. Getting a bit sick of the old Capitol cocktails meself.

As for dates, anytime except the 19th of December, which is my birthday party

Unless you want to all come to that :P

Fajitas! · 25-11-2009 10:03am

No

Alternative suggestion;

Bite to eat beforehand (You don't HAVE to come to that

) then 3 Fade Lane, and I'm sure somebody will have a suggestion of someplace that stays open past all our bed times...

Otis Driftwood · 25-11-2009 10:27am

Neddys a beers virgin and really wanna attend this but between now and xmas may prove probematic as I have alot of crap on between now and then.I have to work at least one Saturday,have my staff party on another and am playing Santa at a kids party on another.That doesnt leave too many more.The 19th of December may be my only viable day but even that isnt gauranteed.

What dates were the modulators thinkin?

shellyboo · 25-11-2009 10:28am

No

What's 3 Fade Lane?

(was totally about to ask where it was

)

Fajitas! · 25-11-2009 10:41am

No

It's a nice place, opposite Market Bar, above Hogans - They've a good cocktail menu too. And comfortable seats.

Ned, would a Friday night be any better for you?

the_syco · 25-11-2009 11:02am

No idea where Market Bar is... is it near Georges Street Market?

Fajitas! · 25-11-2009 11:04am

No

Yep, just follow on up Georges St, past the markets and it's the first left.

OldGoat · 25-11-2009 11:08am

I do believe you mean Fade STREET.
/Pedant

Fajitas! · 25-11-2009 11:11am

No

Pfft. I'm out of the country for the last few months, what do I know!?!

maherro · 25-11-2009 12:31pm

Gingerman? It has pitchers!

OldGoat · 25-11-2009 1:20pm

When observing the attempts to arrange beers in other fora the lesson to learn is to select a date and select a venue and then tell people about it.

You can't please everyone and trying to only causes grief and fustration with dates and venues constantly changing.

Someone needs to make a decision and then thats it, all done and dusted.

I nominate the OP to make the choice.

maherro · 25-11-2009 2:03pm

TBH I dont care where we go as long as the price of drink is reasonable - im a poor student :cool:

Will · 25-11-2009 2:04pm

No

Lol eh thanks

Friday the 4th of 11th of december? I'm up for trying new places

Fajitas! · 25-11-2009 2:14pm

No

The London Boards beers is either going to be on the 4th or the 11th. Lets hope this one falls on the other weekend

Dord · 25-11-2009 2:23pm

No

Once the place is comfortable and doesn't have too strict a dress code then it's good with me.

I'm good with the 11th or 18th maybe?

If it's the 18th or later maybe I can try drag KTRIC along. :pac:

Dunno if he'd be happy with that though lol

maherro · 25-11-2009 2:34pm

The 18th? I wont be back in Dublin before that

Otis Driftwood · 25-11-2009 2:56pm

Hmmmm,the 18th Im due to meet some former colleagues for ale but its in Dublin so I may or may not be able to pop in for a scoop.

Cant do anything before then though.

Ah well.

Fajitas! · 25-11-2009 3:01pm

No

Will, just set a date and we'll see what we can do! I could be arsing around for weeks trying to see if I'm free, so I'd rather have something set that I can work everything out of the way for

Poll perhaps? 18th seems to suit everyone though...

18th is my work Christmas do. I'd meet up with ye afterwards though, when I'm arseholed drunk.

KTRIC · 25-11-2009 3:37pm

Wouldn't mind going to this but won't be back in Dubland until the 19th.

shellyboo · 25-11-2009 3:40pm

No

DEFINITELY the 18th then :P

I hope more wimmins are going to come

Fajitas! · 25-11-2009 3:41pm

No

Not Fibbers!!

I think the OldGoat's suggestion is the best so far.

shellyboo · 25-11-2009 3:45pm

No

Thats exactly it. Someone has to take charge and just decide and book it, otherwise it will take ages and never happen or people will lose interest.

Will · 25-11-2009 5:29pm

No

I'm going to let it stew in my brain for a bit, personally I think the 18th is too far off, I'm not waiting 4 weeks for a session, also too close to chrimbo. The 11th or 12th seems more reasonable. The venue will most likely be the snail bar as per O.G's suggestion.

Venue - Snail Bar
Date - 11th December (Friday)
Dress - Well.

Ah there, a decision.

Will · 25-11-2009 5:46pm

No

I deliberately left the dress sense as 'well' because dressing well is subjective

Snowie · 25-11-2009 6:05pm

can we do a night out where we just eat for th ehole night in some restaurunt id love that like a feast... and have madens walkign around with jugs of the fincest lungaduc rejion wine mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Fajitas! · 25-11-2009 6:09pm

No

Yes.

Never you fear! I'll be about....especially when there is an opportunity to welcome thee other Longfordian into the fold :P

Will I can't believe you suggested The Capitol bar for a gentlemans beers!!

Booooooo to your decision. The 18th was perfect. My chances of getting 2 friday nights out in a row in the run up to Christmas with a heavily pregnant lady at home looking after the childer = 0. :mad:

You will have to prioritize my good man

Moonbaby wrote: »

Possibly not the maidens walking around with jugs of wine, but I definitely think a bit of grub/fine feast would be great - I mean, getting lathered drunk is great and all, but a chat over some good food would be great too.

Location wise, I've been out of Dublin for 5 months now, so a lot of places could well be closed. Immediate suggestions; Mongolian BBQ, 66 Bistro... and some of the places mentioned in the "eating well" thread

25-11-2009 7:35pm

Yes food makes me a very happy bunny.

Mongolian BBQ sounds amazing!!.....What is the bets Mongols don't like vegetarians.

Fajitas! · 25-11-2009 7:43pm

No

Are you one of those fish eating veggies?

Even if not, they've plenty of tofu there. And beans.

It's a DIY kinda place, so you know what you're putting in. They'll wash off the BBQ where they're cooking vegetarian food too, so you won't be getting any meat in.

cocoa · 25-11-2009 7:46pm

No

ooh, I did not know they did that... Last time I was in a mongolian barbecue was in the states where it was very strictly meat... Sounds very nice if they flavour it well

Fajitas! · 25-11-2009 7:52pm

No

Yep, they definitely have food availible for the veggies. If we had a headcount of who was interested in grub, we could always ring ahead, book a table and say there was X amount of vegetarians, and stock up on the meat flavoured tofu.

Of course, this dosn't have to happen this time round, but I think it'd be good craic

That is soo thoughtful of them.

I'd definitely be on for that, when my wallet has recovered from the festive season.

P.s Those pescatarian people are only wannabe's.
