Bored of cinema/pub dates.... any ideas???

StinkySocs

I went to Funderland at Christmas, loads of fun, a bit sicky after it, but no harm!
You could go bowling too! Or you could do a "Come Dine With Me" wknd with some mates.

Play pool? The palace is great for that, i don't know how to play pool but i've been there a couple of times with friends..

ball

+1 on the Zoo. I went the other week and it went down really well.

Also, the wax museum should be good fun.

Michellenman

Comedy club. There's a club between georges st and grafton st, down beside brown thomas in Dublin, a bit grotty but there are unknown comedians playing and maybe a few faces you'd recognise. They have shows during the day too sometimes. Only costs about a fiver too. You could get someone crap but you'll probably have more fun laughing at them in that case.

Dublin vs Galway in the football league on Saturday night in Parnell Park. Only 5 euro in aswell if you happen to be a student. Only condition is you have to support Galway as I told you about it.

I will second the racing suggestion also.

Little Acorn

Pottery making and Painting
-2 hour class for adults
-20 euro per person( can get a 2 course dinner for an extra 20 euro per person!)
-something you can keep forever

unigolf - http://www.unigolfclub.com/

bowling

pool and snooker houses

paintballing

also just going for a drive to the local woods for a "walk"

gigs, theres always something going on in the venues in limerick so there should be millions of them in dublin

im sure theres plenty of these up in dublin

Cupcake_Crisis

Yeah good one, Grandad. Translation, "we all went to an 80s night and the journey there tired us out so we went home for a nice cuppa and to get the curtains drawn."

Wax Museum is sh*t. Was there a couple of months ago,no!!
The science part upstairs is ok, but it has nothing to do with wax works. That should be in the national history museum. Collins Barracks is kind of cool, as is IMMA for a wander on a sunny weekend day

Actually planning on going to the Guinness Storehouse next week with the gf. See what all the fuss is about.

We did this last summer. It was rubbish. Nice view from the bar up top tho. And the waterfall is pretty cool. But thats it.

And your username implies that you definitely don't.

Hi, If your tired of the pub scene perhaps you and your girlfriend
could go to a spa together or take up a hobby, hiking, cycling, bowling etc
There are some good suggestions here.

The theatre is also very enjoyable, There are some good shows at the moment.

Go on Road trip, go to places you havent been since you went on school tours (really enjoyable), places like Bunratty Castle/Glendalough/ Cratloe Woods/ Curraghchase. Dingle (Kerry) and visit the aquarium - its cool!

Drive Slea head, the scenery is outstanding. Visit cliffs of moher - the same!

You just need to be creative. There is a place in Limerick called UniGolf - a bit crazy putt-ish, seems good fun from a lot of mates of mine that have gone with their OH's

The word "sheeps" is not an adjective and reveals nothing about me as a person, hope this helps.

International comedy club - about 10e for a ticket and makes for a great date. Little drink beforehand then enjoy the comedy!

Depends on what type of person you are.

National Gallery is worth a look so is the Museum of Natural History (is it still closed for refurb).

I really enjoy the cinema though so I will always go for a flick.

Bowling and pool is always good craic too.

I find thats one problem with Ireland is that there is not a huge amount to do sometimes.

It's good craic. There's no audience participation (apart from having to walk around a little bit) and if your girlfriend is into spooky stuff as many women are, she'll love it.

You'll find out lots of stuff about Dublin that you never knew and unless you live in the inner city and walk everywhere, you've probably never been in any of the places that the bus brings you.

It's one night (about 2 hours I think) and well worth it.

Skerries have a rather popular swingers club
Malahide Lawn Tennis Club is also know for couple swapping

On a more traditional note you could get a bus or train into town and do the Ghost Bus tour, visit a free museum, theatre, concert, comedy gig etc.

podgemonster

One sunday, got the Dart to Howth got a really nice farmers market.
Theres also a hiking trail alot of people do near the cliffs down there which is pretty scenice, recommend doing it on a dry day.

Also thinkin bout goin on the Dublin Ghost bus which goes around suposedly haunted sites in Dublin. It could be crap but at least its different. Anybody go on this!

Maybe try an pick up an easy going fun sport like Pitch and putt.

It also takes only 2hours to get to Galwey now and B&B's are getting cheaper. Could make for an interestin weekend.

jonnygiles

Grab a few couples ye know and have a good auld swingers session, outta be an interesting night!

Rookey

You should go check out some Ice skating... Always loadsa fun.. There's an ice "Disco" on Friday nights.. which I always feel old at but a bit of craic.. also normal public sessions on Sat and sun!!
Check out Dundalk Ice Dome..

Spastafarian

You could go on a Segway tour of the Phoenix park.
