Clubs or Bars???

Antomus Prime

Just wondering what people prefer...

Going to a night club and spending the nite dancing away and doing the rounds with your mates trying to mingle?

Or going to a trendy bar and having a laugh with your mates??

Also, in which do you find easier to pull??

Mr Benevolent

Neither. The EFSF will shut them all down and drinking overpriced crap is one sure way of emptying your rapidly dwindling bank account.

What if you have no mates?

Drink.

The environs in which it is consumed are utterly unimportant

What mates?

I prefer the pub.

KeithM89_old

Hmmm - tough one. I love just sitting in a pub chatting for hours but then i do love having a dance off with a black guy in a club.

I used to prefer clubs, and to an extent I still do but the older I get the more I'm starting to enjoy the bars. I tend to stick to the beer in bars but in clubs I tend to do alot of shots, jagerbombs etc.

Where's the alleyway/doorway option?

Neither. A pub.

Bars - better laugh when you can talk to people.

I prefer pubs and go to the late bars in galway instead of the clubs , all of the clubs in galway apart from cuba or sometimes the gpo i dont like

Pub, find it impossible to mingle in a club.

pablomakaveli

Hmm i could go to a club where i the only conversation i can have with friends is shouting in their ear til im hoarse, where i have idiots who cant dance but are trying to impress some slapper bumping into me constantly, where i have to deal with an asshole bouncer and then pay to get in. Or i could go to a bar where i don't have to deal with that crap.

I prefer clubs that play good music to bars. Not into chart music so I'm pretty limited with where I go.

It would have been nightclubs when I were younger not so much now its the late bars really for me at my age.

Very limited i would say , I know one venue in limerick that plays good tunes none in galway and rarely go out in cork or dublin.

Easily pubs. ****in hate clubs unless im on something stronger than alcohol. The only problem with pubs is that they close too early.

It depends where you live but late bars are a good alternative. Theres none of the usual co ordination required when you have to leave the pub for the club and trying to understand the bouncers ****e talk about forming orderly cues and such

You sound like a Metro article.

Night Clubs

Some good points there, was just wondering cause lately im gettin fed up with the club scene, with the exception of 1 or 2 clubs that i always have a good nite in.

I like both, sometimes stay in a late bar other times go to a club. I wouldn't be dancing in either just chilling out and drinking with friends. Depends where I am too if I'm out in Cork its usually late bars but if its home in Galway almost always go to Halo (a club for those who don't know).

Maybe im getting old but i hate places i cant have a conversation in! Be it a club or a bar with the music PUMPING!! I Love music but hate having to scream over it! Gimme a pub over a club or disco bar any day!

Seriously though, prefer a bar.

Never been to this copper faced jacks that people are always banging on about. Is it a pub or a club? Also are you too over the hill to go there at 38?
Personally I like pub and "music" pubs. But the big mega dance venues are too much for me now.

upstairs and downstairs in cuba usually jst play the chart hit but of different styles. The roisin can be fun its usually packed though and has an awful bang of pretension off it at the best of times . I like downstairs , the bar is perfectly situated and usally the djs are decent and they have good gigs for free there too.

I hear a lot about it but from what i know the clientele arent very nice , i doubt 38 is too old

Don't particularly like clubs and them 'modern bars' sound quite shít. Give me a traditional pub anyday, tbh.

The pub
I can't dance and i'm getting too old for really loud "music"

veryangryman

Ive not heard one person say club yet

If your all such pub fans then why are you never in them? Clubs are generally packed on Saturday nights pubs much less so.

Why?

1) Most people will go to the club anyway so will save a bit of cash by drinking in beforehand
2) Most pubs close too early. Those that dont have cover charges/extra charge on drinks
3) For the singles, its alot easier to justify €5 for a drink when there is eye candy and far more potential for picking up a tasty treat for your troubles.


Anyway, less of the lying people - you prefer clubs and thats that

Im not sure about that one . I spent three years in galway for college and athough it has plenty of late bars the clubs were packed after 11.

Pubs (and I'm right in the target demographic for clubs).

This thread is crying out for a poll btw

Pubs for the chats.

Clubs for the ride.

clubs, unfortunately the term nightclub in ireland is used far too much for what are really just disco bars. we dont have proper clubs in ireland, full stop.

I meant chat to my friends.

Whats bzp?

I'm more of a long range weapon kinda guy.

Seriously though, I like both and neither.

Pubs and "clubs" around here are woeful. And when did this **** of getting soap "stars" of Emmerdale and the like qualify as a reason to draw a crowd? Get a decent DJ for a change.

Gah, I'm going to bed.

As long as the place isn't too packed you can make a good night of it. If I'm in a good mood I usually have a good, messy night and pull. House parties are the best though for the chat.
