Donegal Forum Beers - Letterkenny.

mrmac

A Donegal Forum Beers has been tried a few times, and always fails, as location, venue and dates are very hard to agree on. The county is sooooo big that it is impossible to please everyone.

Rather than trying to arrange a meeting for everyone, I suggest we at least get the ball rolling by having a Beers in Letterkenny. It won't suit a whole pile of folks, and may result in no more than a solo session ( me ), but it's a start!

Anyone from the LYIT Forum can join in too.

I suggest meeting up in McGinleys, simply because most people know where it is, and it is a venue with a diverse age demographic, so us mature patrons don't feel harassed by the younsters! :rolleyes:

The date is up for discussion, but must be in April - anything further away gets forgotten - the sooner (after Easter), the better!

So, anyone going to join me for a pint?

I see Saturday night last has whet your appetite

Good idea mrmac and Id be happy to join you in supping a pint (if you're buying ). Sometime in April would be good and Id imagine a Friday or Saturday night would probably be the best nights.

If we can get a bit of interest then we can nail down a date and time.

wouldn't mind dropping in myself, whats the story... do we wear disguises?

mrmac

Local-womanizer

ToniTuddle

Well come on now lads! Where is this beering?

I'm away to Dublin this weekend for some other Boards Forum beers but I'd be up for popping along.

As for disguises...I did see a dude dressed up as a woman in McGinleys about 2 weeks ago or so :pac:

Are you sure that wasn't just you looking in a mirror again? You do have very manly features after all :P

Jeez, I thought I got rid of all the evidence! You kept that pic for your "private" collection eh?

Sorry for not getting back to see how this is going, but I wasn't sure if I could make it myself, as I was away last weekend, and I'm away again this weekend! However, next weekend is all free, so the 16th sounds good to me!!!


So that's danniemcq and me, not so bad, stops me looking like an al-co!
What time suits you Danny? 8pm onwards is fine for me. Upstairs at the bar? Boards opening line "Are you from the internetz?"

I wont get a chance before Sunday night, but I must check if there's a band on that night.

So to everyone else - the challenge has been set!
Round one, venue one: McGinleys Bar, Friday 16th April, 8pm, Upstairs.
Anyone who actually turns up to this beers, will have the right to choose the location (anywhere in Donegal), date & time, for the next beers. :cool:

Oh, and because none of us, currently, have a clue what anyone looks like - I will try to get there for exactly 8pm, and I'll bring a "Top Secret" identifying object, which I'll place on the bar/table:





Looking forward to meeting one or two of ye. If you know of any other Boards "locals" who may not have heard about this, please let them know. I've sent a PM to the LYIT Forum Mods, asking them to let their group know about it.

EDIT: posted a link in the LYIT forum pointing to this thread.

yeah the line about are you the guy from the internet has a habit of backfiring, Got a very strange look from a guy from derry while back! Curse the anonymity of the interweb, oh and in one of the galway beers a newbie was told to go to Stranos and ask for the guys on the internet. We were in the pub round the corner and Stranos as some people would know was/is the gay bar in galway! Sadly he didn’t know where it was and had to ask another friend who set him straight anyway I’ll have an appropriate geeky t-shirt and combats and I’ll see yas Friday at 8!

Love the sweetcorn though!

muffler

Good stuff. I'll do my best to be there.

homer simpson

A feck it i might as well come up to this for a hour or so, I doubt i will be beering though (unless i get hersolf conviced to drop/collect me, which is null chance:rolleyes:).....So i'll be the one comming on here on saturday morning telling all the stories:D

Ronan Keating

Will I provide the entertainment?


"You can shay baby, baby can I howld you tanhight"

homer simpson

**Suggestion alert**

Do Mc Ginleys have one of them Guinness self service tables upstairs? Be a good idea to all meet at that (not necessarlly use the taps just meet there) that way we cold be saved embarressment by asking some polish builder, sitting peacefull eating his sweetcorn enjoying a pint, is he from de internetz (then getting a black eye) ya never know we could be unlucky and McGinley start serving Green Giant sweetcorn instead of nuts that friday night.:o

Ronan Keating

I shall hide in the clocktower across the road and spy on you and see you stumble down the steps of McGinleys in the early hours of the morning.

I will be recording.

Did people find out if there is a band playing on Friday?

mrmac

Not yet, but I'll make a point of dropping in there tonight to check. Damn it, but I just might have to have a few pints too!

mrmac

There is a band playing on Friday, called The Bellies.

The Bellies are one of Donegal’s most popular bands and have been for the past 3 years. They play well known classic rock songs. They are renowned for their brilliant guitar riffs. They play everything from Iron maiden and AC/DC to Guns N’ Roses.

Sounds good, might be bloody loud though!

byte

The Bellies are good, IMO.

Well my Gf will probably join us at some stage during the evening and if toni tuddle pops in i guess you could kinda call her a girl

mrmac

Wimmins are always welcome
My Mrs. won't be joining me, she doesn't like my company at home, never mind in public!

Ohhhhhh it's like that now Boy! I'll remember this. *Plots revenge*

I'm sure it would be no problem bringing OHs but normally don't couples end up sitting together and not really mixing well cause they all loved up and cuddly! :D

For starters, yes

mrmac

No food - just drink!
It's not a nicey nicey Dublin Beers, with finger food and flat screen TVs in the toilets!
Rock music and late drinking - that'll do for me.

BTW - it's very feckin' loud downstairs when a band is playing, so I'd hope to get a seat upstairs somewhere, as it's not as deafening!

For anyone who has not been in McGinleys Pub before, when you go up the front steps, there's two doors leading inside. Take the left door, and the stairs will be just inside.

That will suit me. At least I'll be able to hear you say "are you having another one muffler"
