Mullingar Meetup?

liah

Interested to see how many of you would be interested in some kind of meetup in Mullingar. I know it would be absolutely tiny, but it might be a nice way to meet some new people in town and make some new friends. Might be funny to see how many of us already know each other.. small town syndrome and all!

Would anyone be interested in this? And if so, any suggestions for what we could do? Perhaps a beers, or a cinema trip or something.. there's not exactly a whole lot of options.

Otis Driftwood

Count me in anyway.Id say a beers would prolly be the easiest way to start.I dunno about you but the thoughts of a group of strangers going to the cinema together is a bit,strange.:)

liah

I suppose, though it seems to have worked for the girls in the Ladies' Lounge. Either way, was just thinking of something for those who may not drink.

Another alternative is to go to a music pub like Danny's or the Stables so people who don't drink don't feel totally out of it and can enjoy the music. Danny's would be the best spot, imo-- it does get a bit packed, but it's free music and it's usually fairly decent no matter what night of the week. There's the quiz, too, again for those who might not drink.

CORaven

Sounds good, I'd be interested. Idm mind music or no music, but I like the consideration towards non-drinkers.

All the cool people are from Mullingar.


How about Ballymore, it's halfway between the two ...just kidding

stylers

another vote for a mullingar beers.. good idea liah

molloyjazz

Athlone FTW... is this only for Mulligar heads or can any people from the Westmeath head?
Could be Westmeath Beers and we change location every time we have a new meet up, this could greatly add to the numbers and of course the craic!

liah

Anyone can attend sure, was just thinking it might be nice in the Gar since I believe there's been Athlone beers before, and I can't travel out but wouldn't mind meeting some new people.

stylers

so when and where is it gonna be ??

liah

Don't know, waiting for suggestions!

Otis Driftwood

Well from next week on I iz pretty free.Prolly a weekend would be best if ale is going to be involved.

stylers

ah sure we'll start the ball rolling so.. Danny's I reckon.. if somewhere quieter needed then Ulysses (the greville).. Caffreys can be very busy be times..

Otis Driftwood

I dont like Dannys on a Saturday night as it gets too feckin crowded.Its grand any other night though.Con's is ok,pretty big and easy to chat in it.

liah

Danny's would be my pick, personally. I just like that there's free live music 6 out of 7 nights of the week. Especially since I don't drink much (monetary issues! ). It does get a bit jammed, but they offer free reservations, could possibly take the little back area behind where the bands go?

Really not a fan of the Ulysses. Or the Stables. Old Stand is alright for the pool tables and (as far as I know) it isn't too busy, usually. Bit of an old man's pub though. Caffrey's is alright, Crossbar is alright. Still think Danny's is the nicest at the moment for a varied age crowd. Never been in Con's.

There's always Bed..

Otis Driftwood

I forgot about the reservation option for Byrnes,could be a good shout Missy.


As for Bed,that is a strange strange place.I cant remember the last time I saw such a mixed demographic of people in a bar/club.

Worst thing I saw was a 15 year old swilling WKD then swinging round the pole while being egged on by her mother.

*shudders

liah

I love Bed, I legitimately think it's the best late spot in town. Mojo's is too full of 17 year olds and people who really shouldn't drink, Fence is always way too jammed, but the staff in Bed are nice, bouncers included, and tbh it's come a long, long way since Spin. It's a nice crowd and a nice environment, they've really done a lot to improve on it. Plus, the majority of my friends end up in there.. and it's free in. What's there to lose?!

Otis Driftwood

Never have been nor will I ever be in Mojos,went to the Fench once and hated it,I actually think the Lane isnt bad.In general there is an area down the back that is easy to get to and hold onto as people seem to congregate around the dance floor.Plus on a Friday night its €3 drinks,they even sell pint bottles of cider for that price.Yahoo.

stylers

the Bed :eek: lets not frighten our fellow boardsies away from the town forever ! Anyway, what we are prob lookin for is somewhere we might actually hear each other, but with a bit of life too, so danny's might be the best option.. sure worry about the rest later..

liah

Danny's it is so I reckon. What night of the week, and when are you people available (date wise)?

Otis Driftwood

Prolly a weekend would be best,no work the next day and all that.Id be free nearly any Friday or Saturday night if someone wants to throw out suggestions anyway.

liah

Friday might be better, just because it's absolutely jammed most Saturdays but Fridays aren't too brutal, usually. Depends on who's playing, though, too..

What about the first weekend in July?

stylers

a friday night sounds good to me. so thats place and time sorted.. now we just need more boardsies

AckwelFoley

You should make this thread private, as there would be a danger of me possibly going! :pac:

liah

Go on then snyper, join us!

Yitzhak Rabin

As I'm just a lurker in this forum, I'm going to do the same at the beers. You'll see me peeking through the curtains of the back room in Danny's trying to listen in!

liah

The more the merrier!

Hi there

Just wonder did you manage to set up your group?

Just wondering do you know of any meetups in Mullingar for Feadh Cheol in August as a way to meet people.

coolguy

We had one meet-up.

Liah then left the country and there were no more meet-ups
