Early House

jaysusake

Whats that? A pub that closes at 4.30?

They're great if you're after being on an all nighter and have ran out of drink at a party, but they can be hard to get into if you're already blotto and by god you regret it when you wake up with a hangover at 6pm that evening with the prospect of watching Jeremy Kyle at 3am while DTing.

Worked nights at one stage and went for an early pint the odd time. No real experiences or opinions. Meh.

As they should be.

Haven't been in one in a long time. They can be handy at times though alright.

The Master

They're a godsend when coming home in the early hours of the morning from a late night country gig.

It's also handy that the 2 pubs closest to where I live are both early houses.

They dont open of a sunday as far as im aware, the only place you'll get an early pint on a sunday is caulfields hotel on dorset st. its touch and go as to wether the porter lets ye in, that poens from 7.45 and its also one of the cheapest pints around at 3.40 for heinken and 3.10 for guinness. the chancery on the keys is a bit of a kip but never had any bother getting in no matter what state i was in!

Ugh, last memory was back in February, up all night on a mephedrone bender, someone comes up with bright idea to go to early house on quays, so get more meph on the way to it and end up drinking there till it closed at midday and then another boozer till about 4. Then went to bed. Took me about 4 days to get over that bender. Dark, dark times...

the old early house is mighty crack - the unique experience of drinking pints of stout at 7.30am surrounded by a mix of finished night workers, people on an all-nighter and alcoholic business types having a scoop before work.

I go once or twice a year - its doesn't have f*uck up your day, nothing like leaving a pub at 11am half - cut stumbling home for a kip.

:pac:

Ah all-day pub crawls that started at 9am, how I miss thee. How I lasted till club closing time...ask somebody else! One I was in was grand, had some in there and a massive fry next door, fairly quiet.

Slattery's and The Chancery are quiet enough.
The White Horse is insane.

Yes, on the same page as a thread about a student who drank himself to death we should all feel your pain in your difficulties getting into an early house already píssed for the 'lulz' of course.

What was the name of that place on Dock Rd on the corner? Padraigs?
Used to open about 8ish. I'd see people stand outside on my way to work.
Thought to myself I'd take a sick day and just go in there instead, never did though

Charlie's in Cork is a great laugh. All sorts go in there. I pulled out a twenty one morning and a guy genuinely asked me for 2 euro, in the terrors from drink. The whole pub sang bohemian rhapsody at one point aswell, but there was only about 12 inside.

Some sad cases though, it's depressing.

edit: How many early houses are there in Dublin? I can only think of 2 in Cork, I was told to "go on away and have a boiled egg," in the other one so don't go in there.

Ah the early house.. Good times

Back in my wild child days I used to frequent the likes of The White Horse near Tara Station and Slatteries on Capel Street after an all nighter.

Some great memories.. Wouldn't do it now mind.. I still get a giggle out of seeing people hanging around outside them on a Saturday morning with their glad rags still on them and makeup remnants still around their eyes.. gives me a nice warm nostalgic feeling

Used to be a few in Letterkenny. They were like scenes from human traffic.

Haven't done an early house in over 15yrs. Only used them when I lived away and would return for the X-mas all nighters.

Ah the auld mephedrone seems like along time ago , probably better off now that its gone , some craic at the same time.

I dont live in a town that has an early house but a pub that opens early can be good craic as im one that loves the second day of a session more than the first

The second day is always the best craic.

People should go to bed at some time! There is a dodgy looking one down by the quays opposite the Dublin City Council. You always have knackers hanging around outside there having an early morning ciggy and pint....
