Night on the Tiles

FadeStGal

Hi Guys

Have just got settled in Waterford but haven't been out on the town yet.

What bars/clubs would you recommend for when my girlies come up to stay?

One of the girls was in college here for 3/4 months. She said Ruby's was good for man-hunting but I hear this is closed now? I have no idea to be honest.

Thanks in advance

If you want a real challenge then try man hunting in Dignity.

Maybe not 'hunting' as such. Up for a bit of fun though

My girls definitely will be, man-eaters the lot of them

I'm guessing that from your comedy posting style, Dignity might be a gay bar??

If its men yer after I'd stay away from the city centre pubs.

Hot spots for real men would be the following:-

The Candy Store or Bradys in John's Park where you can hear Eddie Rowe belt out classics like There Goes My only Fornation, Ajapay or On a Heel

Garveys on Ballytruckle

The Yellah House on the Cork Road

Paddy Brownes in the Lisduggan shopping centre

Ryans on Barrack street (use be Cha O'Neills)

Any of these will fulfill your needs - real men - real beer bellies :D:D:D:D:D

Beer belly guys aren't exactly what I had in mind. If you can't fit in a pair of skinny jeans, you probably aren't what my girlies are looking for.

Don't bother promising a jumbo if you're only going to deliver a cocktail jimbo

Just two more sleeps before the weekend gets going

Could have sworn this thread was about tile shops earlier on!

Anyway, Nightlife in Waterford is currently going through (what we hope to be) a re-invention. The only nightclubs that are open at the moment are (in no particular order, lest I be accused of favouritism);

Masons - Aggressively targeting students with special nights (e.g. €3 Thirsty Tuesdays) with decent bands downstairs and a club upstairs which has recently upgraded their sound system to something that makes you feel like you're in the middle of an earth quake at times.

Harvey's - Historically expensive and for a while was one of the only places in Waterford to have a door charge. Great smoking area which also has a cocktail bar (Skittles come highly recommended). I'm really not a fan of the dancefloor though. Seems to be just stuck in the corner of the place and just looks odd.

Escape - An extension to the gastrobar that is Revolution. You can really make a night of it here with food being served until midnight (although admittedly I've never seen anyone dare order a steak at 11:55). They have some great cocktails here too and the club is just up the stairs. Have bands playing downstairs regularly too and when they have the entire place open i.e. Escape club upstairs, the Basement Bar downstairs and Revolution itself, it's very impressive with something for everyone.

The Forum - Located at the top of the town. Traditionally an Indie club on Saturday nights but has really found its feet since launching Decades in the Lounge part of it downstairs. Only open weekends unless they have bands on (e.g. Villagers last Monday night).

I've enjoyed myself on nights out where I've ended up in Dignity too. Pole conveniently located in the middle of the floor too so you can show off (or in my case, fall off) in style. Lots of themed nights there as well so if you want something different, it's a good bet. Not sure if they have a late license on weekdays.

The Kazbar and the recently opened Front Lounge (not named after the gaybar in Dublin ) also have late licenses on the weekend with the former trying to be all things to all people in a limited space while the latter is going after those who want to see a decent band and listen to decent music afterwards.

You'll also have The Woodman opening up this weekend, it's an old mans pub (and I mean that in the nicest possible way) but I always made sure to include it in any pub crawls I was on in town.

In the first half of next year, you'll have the new Rubys open, branded as The Foundry, and I'm guessing that the work they're doing on the pub across the road from it (formerly Muldoons) will also be nearing completion.

Finally, just as an observation and I don't mean to belittle our lovely little City here but why the move to Waterford? I'm trying to best to get out of the place!

deisedevil

The Toddle is the right job at the moment. You'd spend double getting drunk anywhere else.

ziedth

Given your age I'd say Escape or Madons, Admmm seems to have hit it on the head.

Don't knock a beer belly to you try it

Dignity - gay bar, popular with girl night out too
Kazbar - (across from Geoffs) large pub 3 levels of different music. usually crowded
Geoffs- great place, good mix of people but can have some pretentious / 'im too cool for school' people in there including the bar staff
I think rubys pub is opening up again after renovations this weekend. good live music usually
Forum - still in city centre but will probably need taxi to and home so make it last place if you decide (will cost money, not much, as its a nightclub), good buzz down there. However, Coronas are playing in one of the rooms saturday and its sold out, there or a couple of other rooms there though.

Basically, there is a good selection around john street village.

Rubys pub? You sure you're from Waterford max?

dear lord... what has the world come too?? skinny jeans? really?!!?

a real man would not be caught dead in a pair of them!! they are for little boys that spend more time in the mirror doing their hair than anything else.. if you handed them a screw driver they wouldn't know what end to hold..

this has made my Friday

Skinny jeans and a pair of winkle pickers, its what the modern man is wearing :eek:

Tonight is the night

Hoping for a mad weekend. Usually is when we all get together though!

Thanks to those who gave genuine advice. Really appreciate it. I think I managed to figure out which posts were 'wacky' responses

Curious as to whether there's any place that's a bit 'exclusive'? Thinking along the lines of a VIP type area over a dance floor maybe? Don't mean to be snobby or anything by the way.

Oh, and Heathen... :rolleyes:

A modern man keeps up with fashion and can wear whatever is 'in' and be comfortable with it. If a 'real man' is one of those bearded labourers who like to show off their disgusting arse crack, you are welcome to them. You should probably run along and have the dinner ready for your 'real man' anyway honey. Surprised he allows you to use the internet to be honest!

enjoy your nite.. try not to trip over his man bag

Sit up by the dartboard in kervicks, that's fairly exclusive.

All gone. Woodman re opened today. No live bands.

Rubys is dead. The foundry will rise in its place next march.

Revolution has a series of booths that can be reserved for a group. Not sure whether you'd need to book one on a night like tonight, but Flash would certainly be the personable kind of guy that would know how to treat people who have money to spend.

Waterford doesn't really have the market for VIP areas. I think that Oxygen tried a VIP area for a while. Then it closed down.

Enjoy your night anyway, it should be busy enough with all the Christmas parties that are on this weekend! I'll be gracing a place with my presence for sure, which means it'll be a barrel of (albeit nervous) laughs for all around me.

PS: Skinny jeans are for girls. End of story as far as I'm concerned. They'll be those things that everyone will look back on in 30 years time and wish they could wipe all memory of them because of how hideous they looked! Anyway, I have enough trouble trying to coax my phone of my pocket in normal jeans and would become nigh on suicidal if I had to wrestle with those things every time I got a text!

That's a great attitude, the girls are only looking for a good night out, and to spend a load of money in waterford, this is the welcome they get?

That and all the smartarse remarks from other posters, they make me sick.

The internet is serious business you know.

@Fadestgal: Welcome to the waterford city board, I kind of run things around here, if you need anything let me know.

I agree 100%. When it comes to jeans real men (like me) need their space, if you know what I mean.
