6 lads heading to Waterford City

prettygurrly

your ultimate night out for 6 lads from Drogheda who love their live music and pints please. Will be in Waterford on the weekend of 6th/7th May, so any bands in pubs that you know are good and/or a nightclub that you would recommend would be great. Most of them are smokers too so decent smoking areas would be a plus...

Cheers

Jaysus 6 lads with a username like that? :P

Recommend Harveys for a good smoking area, avoid Mason's like a plague when it comes to smoking areas.

prettygurrly

that b cos my boyfriend and 5 of his mates are going on the rip in Waterford

we had a look at the website for the Forum Venue who are showing Australian Pearl Jam. Are they any good and is the Boho club that you can get into afterwards decent?

MitchKoobski

Ah the Pearl Jam lads were brilliant the last time I saw em, you basically hang around the same area. One fee gets you in for the night as far as I'm aware.

Hey OP, i agree on Harveys having a good smoking area but the group of six will have to pay a €2 door charge for Harveys.

If they like live music, would I be right to assume that they aren't fans of chart stuff? If so, best avoid Harvey's. The Forum would be a good shout. The bands are usually pretty decent. The nightclub plays good music. It has a smoking area which is not too glamorous but is big enough and easily accessed from the nightclub.

also the front loungue has some decent bands on their. and its a late bar

thanks for all your comments guys. the pearl jam band sounds like a winner so! I think the boys dont mind charty stuff but wud probably prefer the indie sort of music. i think if the craic is good they wont mind where they are

what are friday nights like...is it worth going into town or should they just hole up in the rezzy bar in the hotel?

Mick Electric

Yes, we have a double bill of great live music at The Forum Lounge on Sat 7 May. The Australian Pearl Jam are on from 9pm to 11pm. The first hour they play the full "Ten" album to celebrate it's 20th anniversary, followed by an hour of PJ greatest hits. Then a really good local Oasis tribute (Mad Ferret) play from 12am to 1.30am followed by Boho rock DJ. All for €10 and a nice smoking area too !

prettygurrly

cheers sounds good! thanks for the details...

oh also forgot to say their is nites on in the basement bar of revolution dont know what will be on the nite your around but its another option. i always have a good nite in their
they get in big dj's to include fish go deep, dave clarke, green velvet etc

nkay1985

If it was me, I'd go out on the town Friday night. It'll be a lot quieter and you'd get to sample a few different pubs in comfort.

Where are they staying? We could do up a little pub crawl.

they're staying in the travelodge on the cork road. they're pretty hardcore drinkers so they probably would enjoy a pub crawl...please send on your suggestions I'm sure they'd love it!

thanks for all your help. these boys dont get away together very often so i'd love for it to be brilliant for them. i shall be partying myself in Wicklow town that night...cant wait. tis nice to go home sometimes

TBH lads I'd give our city a miss as it's crap for night life and most of the pubs are not great, I'd go to Kilkenny it's a much better place to go out in.

As far as I remember travelodges have no bar but I could be mistaken? Its a 10 minute walk to town so i'd say a pub crawl is your only option. enjoy

its an old hebrew expession first documented over 500 years ago in its original tongue it translated from "obvivas toiol as tu obvivas"
but put in laymans english it just means, "your a tit"





the OP asked for suggestions in waterford not suggestions of other citys/towns to go too

Are you trying to be funny or sarcastic? I can't tell. :rolleyes:

This guy's a moderator? Seriously?

prettygurrly

thanks for all your comments and suggestions, some helpful some not so...

all i can say is the boys are really looking forward to the weekend and its not where you are but who you're with. if you cant enjoy a night out in your own town then thats a bit sad!
