    In this modern, fast-moving, crazy world, it's nice to see some things haven't changed.

    Rockfords still smelling of pi$$ and sweat, with sticky carpets and blocked fire exits, 15-odd years after I was last there, is not one of those things, however !

    Rockfords is owed by a family ,there would be 4 or 5 people with a share of it.your right about it been overpriced but I don't know too many people who rate it.

    Its ridiculous how young people are and the bouncers cant seem to tell the difference between a 16 year old and a 25 year old! usually the 25 year old is put in the id line!!!

    the first night club I got in to :)

    Happy days, me with my dodgy ID, a few friends and the student teacher from school who everyone wanted to hook up with.

    Place was a kip back then over 12 years ago and sounds like it hasn't changed much.

    Also blinkers in Athlone as someone mentioned was another kip but at least it used to be cheap.

    Anyone remember the Planet in Ballanasloe?!

    Although I'm in Roscommon for one weekend per month I've never been to Rockfords!! How is it this time of year?

    What time does it close and is it easy to get a taxi from town out near Four mile house after?

    best during the summer, as in more of a crowd. students have some money! closing time depends on the guards really! ive seen it close at 2:15am, and 3:20am anothing in between is possible

    taxi's are hard to come by, main reason why im only in rockies 3-4 max times a year, used to be 3-4 times a month when I was 18!
