Early House Dublin

sneakersotoole · 06-09-2013 6:59am #1

Anybody know of a good early house, where I could get a nice pint after a hard nights work?

Preferably somewhere which doesn't run the risk of being stabbed.

Metro in parnell St,Windjammer on Townsend St and the Boar's Head in Capel st...you probably won't get stabbed in any of them though.

Is Ned Scanlon's an early house?

The Master · 06-09-2013 12:18pm

Yeah, every day except Sunday

Lux23 · 06-09-2013 12:23pm

I would recommend the Boars Head.

Hilarious to walk by them on Saturday mornings and see everyone mangled outside.

Not a hope of getting served in the Windjammer if you're mangled.

They don't like the 'up all night' crowd in there at all. And proper order to.

Love2love · 06-09-2013 3:22pm

Yeah the Jammer seems to be a "regulars only" haunt. Need to know someone to get you in. Although, night after the trinity ball seems like its the place to be.

Lux23 · 06-09-2013 4:03pm

Is that bar on Little Mary Street an early house? I don't think I've ever seen it open in the evening, yet I've seen stuff going into it.

The Hacienda?

It opens alright but you have to buzz to be let in. It's not an early house.

What time do early houses open at ?

BowWow · 06-09-2013 5:36pm

Not 100% sure - but think The Waterside in Howth is an early house.

Nope. The owner is just selective about who he lets in - he checks you out on a camera and then comes out for a chat before he'll allow you in.

7 or half 7 I think.

I get what your saying there but having been served there in the morning when wrecked its probably not about the alcohol level but the "messiness" level.

Ah yes. I suppose that's it.

If you seem like you're going to wreck their heads then they'll tell you to fupp off.

Plumpynutt · 07-09-2013 10:49am

The Dark Horse on the quays
Molloys on Talbot Street is a bit of craic too

Slattsy · 07-09-2013 11:23pm

Avoid The Chancery at all costs.
I'd rather drink from the liffey.

athtrasna · 07-09-2013 11:33pm

The Galway Hooker in Heuston Station is a favourite of any shift workers I know

I didn't know the boars head is an early house and I get the Luas past every morning, I have never noticed it open. It's a great boozer, I like it in there.

Do many people be in early houses?

Slattsy · 07-09-2013 11:54pm

Is Slattery's on Capel St still going ?

Agreed. Packed after the ball, usually

It is.

Decent enough breakfast in there too.

There's a bouncer on the door in the mornings as far as I remember which is good, keeps the really sloshed people out.

Ah sound, this was the best of the lot of them imho. Always a nice enough crowd in it too. Been a while since i've been to any of them !!

Stay well away from the chancery, It's a awful god forsaken kip at any time.

Pass it most mornings, normally one or two outside, doesn't seem so bad?

It's when you go in you realise the mistake.

Not sure. I imagine the only time the cops go in there now is to drag people out! :pac:

Years ago yes, and only after being in the four courts across the way, Seen to many nasty fights in it over the years to enjoy a pint in it, but it's one of my Da's locals so no choice sometimes.

Saturday morning is like a zoo in there with all the all night party people heading there.

Must check it out...I remember that place Out on The Liffey...was a gay bar at the weekend but during the week it was full of people who looked like they just got released from prison and were having a few wraps to celebrate.

No, there aren't any open on a Sunday. The only place you could get an early drink then would be the airport or a private club maybe

Amirani · 12-09-2013 9:13am

What time do these early houses typically open?

Slattsy · 12-09-2013 9:39am

7am, some are 8 though.

Marty McFly · 12-09-2013 1:50pm

Opening time can vary all depends on the day really.

Why you say that? I wouldn't be a frequent visitor to early house's but do work shift work and have on a few occasions gone to an early house after work and wouldn't have had anything bad to say about them. There grand for a pint.

Haven't been to an early house in years, but if my memory serves correctly (but lets face it, it probably doesn't if I was in an early house) there is most definitely fun to be had in there, and lots of it too.

I used to drink in Slatterys in Capel Street. One evening (about 20.00) I was sat at the bar with a pint of Guinness in my suit (worked around the corner in the law library). It was the day that the Minister for Justice was going into consultation about closing early houses. RTE news comes in looking to interview people on the matter. Bob (the owner) asked me to do it and put my point across.

I said no problem, gave my interview saying that it was good for people who work shifts etc (fruit market around the corner case in point). Anyway, the 9 o'clock news came on, and everybody was quiet waiting for the interview. The f*****s had edited it and made it out to look like I was in the pup at 07.30 in the morning, with a pint in front of me, in my suit - just before I went into work. Within 30 minutes I had about 60 text messages, from colleagues, friends and family asking wtf was I doing drinking so early in the morning before I went to work. The shame of it, and a couple of judges and SC passed comment as well.

Celtic Tiger · 12-09-2013 4:22pm

Always been curious about what kind of crowd would be in an early house. Not so much now but years ago me and my friends would often be drinking in someones house past 7 in the morning, but living out in the suburbs the thought of going all the way into town to check somewhere out was a bridge too far.

Anyone ever gone to the breakfast club events the dark horse put on every few months of a saturday morning? Djs playing and a cover charge in would definitely narrow the crowd but im curious if they get many people in.

There's something about leaving an early house at 3pm when you're completely jarred and it's bright outside and you see all the normal,non-drunk people going about their business....it's like stepping from one universe into another.

Ha ha I can relate to that, don't know how many times I done it when I was younger (and even not so young) :-)

:pac::pac: defo the weirdest feeling is seeing people coming in all suited up for lunch and your sitting there at 12:30 on the vodkas already, last time I done it after a night shift didn't get home till 1a.m the next morning, probably why it's best only done once in a blue moon.
