Where are all the old Bruxelles metal heads drinking now?

I used be one of them. Indeed i do drink at home and at gigs and various other pubs but Bruxelles can do one.

There was still a late 20's/early 30's contingent in Bruxelles up until a few years ago

When they started dictating to the DJ's what they could and couldn't play and hiked the price of their disgusting pints that's when i called time on it. I started drinking there when i was a teenager and used love the place. (I'm in my mid forties now).

It left alright. After the redecoration a couple years ago. Jukebox was removed and resident DJ's departed.

It was an insult to have Phil statue outside the door

Haven't been in quite some time but saw various social media posts, GnR press conference, fans drinking with Disturbed etc and it being referred to as Dublins #1 rock bar either they want to try appease that tag or just bluffin'.

Hard to keep up with the thread sometimes. It's on, it's off, it never left etc..

I've been twice in recent months and both nights being a friday and there was a metal DJ all night, took requests and played them pretty much straight away, it was deadly!

Grayditch

I know that practically all the bars and clubs are doing a Black Sabbath "aftershow" on Friday including Bruxies. The DJ on there that night is very friendly.

Yer man just likes to be especially negative and dismissive of the place!

Apart from Fibbers, Gypsy Rose and O'Reillys.... is that it for rock bars really? I suppose Cassidys, Pmacs and Blackbird play good tunes too(bonus stinger bars)... But has anywhere new popped up?

Passenger

Sin é usually has a decent mix of Rock/Metal/Alternative on Saturday nights after the live bands.

You mean The Pint? That's long gone.

On the Rox,Bruxelles has odd nights now only I think

Grayditch

Lafayette's on D'Olier st has Thursday and Saturday rock/metal clubs. O'Reilly's is Saturday only and some speciality night, after shows etc.
The Gypsy Rose isn't um... an option anymore.

On The Rox is long gone too.

Grayditch

On The Rox still has a few planned gigs with DME and others, anyway. https://www.facebook.com/pg/On-The-Rox-1452952008340978/events/?ref=page_internal

No club nights I don't think, though.

Passenger

They still do the odd small gig but as far as it being a Rock Bar, that is long gone.

Ah, oh well

The Gypo is awful these days, I noticed they did up the basement in Fibbers recently or at least since I was last down there.

Lafayette is grand even times its not a particular night as such kinda has indie/mainstream rock playing which is imo more tolerable than your run of the mill boozer. Cassidys only a stones throw away too.
