    Trinity Rooms is supposed to be doing its usual night of big (€20) celebrations. Not sure what exactly that entails though.

    I'll let you know if I hear of anything else.
    I'll be going to a house-party meself :cool:

    New Year's Eve is usually a nightmare, queue to be overcharged to get into a venue, queue to put your coats in, queue to get a drink, spill half it fighting your way back from the bar, queue to get to the jacks and then queue to get your coats again.

    No thanks, house party is the better option.

    Clohessys are doing an all night thing for 15 quid you get into the bar and the sin bin, its free if you go in before 7.30 which isnt so bad if you only intend on staying out until midnight, i'll be staying sober that night so 4+ hours of drinking water and fizzy drinks should be fun

    Yeah, I know friends want to go to that. Hope its not crap. Tend to prefer Costellos on a night out than Bakers.

    Velvets is nice if you're into nightclubs. Do you know Sligo well? Might I recommend pubs?

    great find mate.

    a note on nancys though. they are serving food with that 25 quid and it wont be as packed as normal. i dont know exactly what kinda food or whatever else is going on there if anyone knows??

    icon usually hands you the cheap glass of champaign(sparkling wine) as you walk in the door.
    trinity is usually the same.


    anyone know whats happening in the other places

    Bloody heck I must be getting Old! have not been out and about clubbing in a while favouring drinking at home with friends etc.

    15-20 Bucks entry fee, at least a tenner back and forth taxi,
    and nearly a fiver a pint! not counting if you get hit with
    buying a round and food afterwards seems a very very expensive night out!
    (if I was a randy teenager on the pull It would probably be worth it! but now that I am older and nicely settled
    it just seem's like a waste of money and hassle)
