    Mod Note:

    Right I somehow glossed over this Drug dealing crap till now. it's at best demented and it worst pure trolling so any further mention of it and bans are going to be handed out.

    Dunmorerode welcome. please get familiar with the charter in regards speculation, it doesn't fly for long

    This is the best thread on the fourm so let's keep on track.

    Any Questions PM me :)

    I passed it last night around 12 and there was a big crowd pouring into it. Long time since I've seen a queue outside a pub in Waterford. Nobody heading into the Foundry but a nice crowd in the woodman even with the €5 pints.... pity the front lounge was closed.

    jesus, someone being realistic at last, look i wudnt pay 10 euro in either but at the end of the day its done everywhere, ya said it doesnt have anything new, up here the busiest club, the icon has absolutely nothin extra to offer over what Rubys had yet at the mo its packed most nights of the week. At the end of the day theres not a whole lot ya can or should expect from a nightclub.

    But Adyx just said what everyone else has been saying! :confused:

    I don't think anyone in here wants The Foundry to fail. I just hate this idea that you must only speak positively about anyone doing anything in Waterford these days just because they're providing something for the city. It's the same bull sh1t in the music festival thread. We're all happy we've got a new nightclub in town but are not happy with the way they're doing business, especially in respect of their Facebook page. We're all happy there's a music festival being organised in Waterford but it's been poorly executed thus far. It's ok to criticise once it's founded on something.

    Everytime I passs Mason's on a Wednesday night when I'm on evenings (so finished at 12)it's mobbed. Massive queue outside the door and loads more walking in the Cork Road. The Foundry had a slow trickle going in there and had four door staff working.

    Is escape doing anything at all now? the last time I bothered to go in there was about a year ago and it was like a neon teen disco box. Has it changed? I doubt it.

    Would have figured the WIT guaranteed crowd went to The Coronas instead.

    With all the empty warehouses, factories and shopping centres around waterford wouldn't you think someone would get a few underground parties/raves going :).

    Was there last night, had a good time, €2.50 has its good points and its bad. The good is the price obviously, but it creates a few problems, the depth of the Q at the bar was just crazy at times also it seemed to attract some undesirables, saw 2 fights upstairs and when leaving i noticed a bouncer covered in blood.

    Having expierenced this price of drink i would rather spend say €4/4.50 on a pint and have a more relaxing evening without getting drink spilled on me.

    We could go into business, I know people who can keep the fuzz off our backs biggrin.gif, can get access to some good spots, get a bit of muscle (ziedth) and a few djs.

    But been series for a moment, something like this would be a great idea but could never work in a small town with a large amount scumbags roaming around.

    A group of us ended up in The Foundry last night. We only went just to see what it was like and because we had free passes. We didn't even put our coats in the cloakroom, so they made no money from us there either. Including us, I'd say about 60 people were there. They can't keep going at that rate.

    Some good music played though - plenty of old skool :)

    just wondering if you read your site charter is all pal

    personally I havent been impressed with the Foundry, the staff there (not the old rubys staff) I found to be quite slow and sloppy

    the security are either overly firm or non existent, one of my mates got thrown out a couple of weeks back for play slapping his friend in the balls, when he questioned why he was thrown out he was aggressively told to shut the F up and clear off, whereas on another occasion a guy actually laid 2 women out on the dancefloor and two of the security were stood there looking like they didnt know what to do.

    the place feels a lot smaller also but maybe thats just me?

    And the attitude to the people of Waterford from the owners and such has been nothing to write home about so I wont be rushing to get in there that often if at all.

    Mod Note

    Lets just carry on with the topic folks and leaving the moderation to the mods. Report posts in future also, just to help speed things along. :)

    Lets not derail the topic, its a decent topic and I know people are trying to defend where they work etc. but there are rules which mods have to enforce to keep the site running. People can advertise by contacting sales@boards.ie or become official representatives for their business by emailing hello@boards.ie and address any queries professionally on the forum. Otherwise, we just have to remove the users from the forum to keep it free from advertisements.

    Thanks all! :)
