Evacuation of the bentley aka cuba

Robbo

Just standing outside the place having been removed at speed by some panicing cops. Seems to be upstairs. They've just pulled down all the blinds and turfed the staff out.

Commence panic. It is the end times.

galwayrush

Sounds serious...

Galway Advertiser just posted about it on Facebook.

What's happening?

paconnors

Can't post a pic here on mobile but a few cop cars and all punters told to stand over by paddy powers.

Megglet

Yeah, sorry about that lads!
Dodgy curry last night..

Pure Sound

People on the advertiser facebook saying its a bomb scare :eek:

drum!

I wouldn't be surprised if it was a gas leak.

Revolver ocelot

Whoop whoop its the sound of the police

Diabhal Beag

The whole Galway nightclubs-bombs situation has gotten out of hand if you ask me.

Samich

Massive bomb if people were told to stand across the road :pac:

Wompa1

Bombs! eh? Is that what the kids are into these days? In my day it was glow sticks and finger sex

Samich

Reports of Beats in Carbon Nightclub also :P

extra gravy

Hearing reports of bomb scares in Ballinasloe and Claremorris too. Seems like some lowlife out there has too much time on their hands.

charlemont

The Zetas must be looking to control the drug trade in Galway...

Seriously though I hope its not a bomb, That type of ****e is the last thing people need.

Because It's Ireland, we were allowed walk with our pints. Crisis averted.

For reference, I've seen similar instructions issued in Belfast.

Just passed there a few minutes ago. Everything between club k and tk max closed off now, including Vivo. Curious.

There's been bomb scares in 2 other niteclubs. Sounds like a hoax, or a grave act of terrorism.

From the galway Advertiser's facebook

To update, hundreds evacuated from Bentley nightclub, Eyre Square after reports of a shoebox bomb in the building. Reports coming in that similar bombscares were called in about nightclubs in Claremorris and Ballinasloe tonight. No reports of any injuries.

What stupid ****wits.

Seaneh

They should have waited until about 1.30 am to call it in, be far funnier with 1000+ drunk hysterical idiots being rushed out.

Samich

It's a hoax, club is reopening soon. Someone I know was talking to the guards.

Stroke Politics

Someone in the Wesht doesn't like people having fun.

Down with this sort of thing, it only leads to dancin', dhrinkin', and fornicantin'....

thanks for that donna samich

Bentley nightclub now reporting on their Facebook page that it was definitely a hoax and that they'll be reopening again for the night.

Bentley reopened according to its facebook page. Just a hoax

thesandeman

At least if it was for real there are members of the medical profession running the place so there would be no need for the 'is there a doctor in the house' shout.
Seriously though, I hate that kinda stuff. With modern technology I presume it should be easy enough to find out who the eejit that done it is.

Hundreds? About 40 were in the bar and upstairs hadn't opened at that stage. Gotta love the Advertiser and their passing relationship with facts.

thesandeman

looks like the Tribune/GBFM crowd are still doing a head count. No mention at all on their Galwaynews site.

Turns out it was only a Jägerbomb

BhoscaCapall

You see a few bombscares falling out of that place most nights truth be told

TheCosmicFrog

Well played, Bentley. Well played.

Redhairedguy

Jaysus, these Cuban militant puritans have gone too far.

According to the Sentinel, the PSNI passed the warning onto the Gardaí ... I know people over on After Hours were criticising the guards for treating it seriously. That kind of attitude beggars belief.
