API BEERS: Help Pick A Date For The Beers!

Whispered

Dublin City Centre is the place - now we have to pick a date.
We can pick a venue when the date is set.

The more the merrier so please bring along a friend or partner.

I've picked the dates I'm available to go woooooooooooo!!

Come on folks let's have a funky night out. We all deserve a break

Handy information for when a date is picked:
http://www.abigailshostel.com/ <---stayed there recently excellent place and perfectly central. Taxi cars are right outside if anyone needs one and the Gypsy Rose bar is RIGHT beside it. The Grand Social is only a few minutes walk away so there may be no need for a taxi at all. LESS EXPENSE

Actually can this please be stickied Mods so that it doesn't keep getting lost onto other pages?

Whispered

I can't pick a date yet. Work rota hasn't been done up.

Ha! Was wondering

Whispered

I voted for my preference, but will most likely make it whatever night is most popular.

We need venue suggestions. ToniTuddle suggested here http://www.thegrandsocial.ie/ in an earlier thread. Any other suggestions?

There is also this bar which is near the grand social bar. More of a rock vibe of it but meant to be a really good nights craic!

I believe a former regular of this forum works the door of the Gypsy Rose. I don't know if that bodes well for a group of us getting in or not

Don't know if I mentioned it but O'Reillys ( aka SubLounge) is also very good. Cheapest pints in Dublin too on a Saturday night €3.60 :pac:
Cocktails €5
Pretty damn funky looking too
A good few Boards beers have been held there.

Now there's an idea!

Though some folks may be working on whatever day is picked and might only be able to make the beers in the evening time.
But if some folks aint and have spare time I see nothing wrong with that option of the zoo too.

Seeing awesome fuzzy animals...then go get drunk :pac:

I hope I'm not working that Saturday or any other Saturday ever for that matter! Drink before the zoo, and after

You believe that alcohol can and should be consumed during daylight hours too?

*proposes marriage* :pac:


So far it looks like the 11th of June is winning.
Plenty time to save up for it

Where is the api beers location

Whispered

That hasn't been decided yet. Probably something we should decide on and have it all done and dusted.

Suggestions so far have been the sublounge http://www.sublounge.ie/

TP Smiths http://www.thesmithgroup.ie/tpsmiths/index.html


http://www.thegrandsocial.ie/venues Grand Social

and http://gypsyroseclub.com/ the gypsy rose.

I've been in TP smiths but only at evening time for some food so I don't know what its like later on. I think the Grand Social looks good, nice and laid back, we could meet in the front for a drink then the young ones who want to go off dancing can while the ould ones have a more sensible evening :pac:

Any other suggestions?

Was just at another beers at the weekend we went to Longstone and Doyles which is only a minutes walk from each other...very handy!

Longstone we had good few pints and able to talk as no loud music.
Then we popped over to Doyles and had more pints and dancing and general talking though the music is bit louder there :pac:

Here is the location of The Longstone and Doyles is just on the corner where D'Olier St and College St. You can see Doyles from The Longstone.

As I said before there is a hostel Abigails on Aston Quay which is very handy as it's only a few minutes walk from both bars so no need for taxis

In saying that The Grand Social is an easy walk and the Gypsy Rose is right beside the hostel! :pac:

Ok bad news from me!
I won't be able to go to this beers as I've managed to finally get lucky and get some work over the next 2 weeks. Can't pass it up as I'm moving to Galway and need the money for the rent.

Hasn't been much movement in this thread but hope you guys still go ahead with this.

If any of you guys will happen to be around on the 25th of June that's when I'll next be able to be in Dublin. Will actually be my last time up there before I start fostering this little kitten! Gonna be in the Lafayette Bar there will be a general boards beers mixed between the Noc Forum and TGC forum and general other boardsies. It was a bit hit the last time!

Otherwise have an AWESOME time this weekend

Whispered

EDIT: Definitely wont be able to make it in. We just got notification of something we must attend on Saturday. Would much prefer to be having a nice night out though.

Are other people planning on heading in?

I propose for a pre (Friday evening) or post (Sunday Evening) pet expo meet in Marley park or Pheonix park. Granted it would be a dog walking thing and I know it's not till October but it seems to take that long to organise

:eek: I'll have you know I had a very good reason to not attend.

But I do think you're right and a pet based meet up makes more sense for a pet based forum?

Cherry Blossom

Oh, that wasn't supposed to be a dig at all :pac: It just seems sometimes it takes a long time for people to agree or come to a decision, so I thought people that might be thinking about going to Dublin for pet expo anyway might be on board. Well I'll be going on the Friday anyway and I'll be walking my dog somewhere so feel free to join in .

It was a dig. I always knew you had a mean side

A pet based meet up is a great idea. As well as the pet expo - As far as I know EGAR is planning a charity day in July which might be a good place for the west based posters (and those who will drive down) to meet up, if it goes ahead I intend to go camping for the weekend, so will be there looking like a filthy hippy and smelling of dry shampoo.
