The Funky Box, Arklow.

New nightclub opened where Rascal's/Oscar's used to be. Was in there on St. Stephen's night, nicely surprised by the feel of the place.

At least it's something different from Sally O'Brien's every time. Anyone else checked it out?

Was there Friday night.. Didn't stay long, we were on a bit of a pub crawl It was ok i thought, but didn't really have time to have a good look round and it was early enough so not a lot of people in.....

Was it packed on Stephen's night?

I thought it wasn't until I went upstairs! Jammers up there but a grand bit of room downstairs. Also not as loud down there.

Planning on going here tonight. When it was open last, it was full of scummers, is it still the same? I was told they have an over 21's policy, do they enforce this?
Thanks:)

My first night out this christmas!

It's definitely different around this time. I saw quite a few lads being turned away at the door, was great.
As regards the over-21s policy, I'm not sure. But like BadGirl, I didn't see any youngsters either.

Hope you have a good night.

So basically same as before, just a different name?

Not as bad, a few of the worst weren't let in. Quite possibly the worst name I've ever heard for a nightclub, though..

I see it's been rebranded as Lynskey's... don't know if it's the same owner but at least they got rid of the name.
