    I went in as well for a look and i liked it though i still prefer street 66 and pantibar and dont see myself becoming a regular in pennylane. Its very small and rather expensive at 6:20 a pint. Staff similar to pantibar all young male Brazilian. The uniforms look a little strange mustard tshirts and dark green aprons. A lot of people stayed for one drink and then left. Hard to know if it will be a success.
    Charged E3.50 for a micro soda water - what used to be called a baby mixer, 125 ml I think.

    Not encouraging repeat business there!

    Noticed a slightly older age group there.

    The hub dame lane

    You might feel a bit past it at prhomo though, when I was around 22 I started feeling too old for it. I think Mother is a better night overall.

    The Hub is not in Dame Lane, it's on Eustace Street in Temple Bar (where Mother, Prhomo and Sweatbox all have a night each). It's off Dame Street at the Apache Pizza corner. Dame Lane is a different location behind the Mercantile where Stags Head etc is.

    Is that not a standard mixer.

    Mixers in general and bottled water, glasses of fizzy soft drinks are extortionate in Dublin.

    The prices would put you off drinking them!

    Babes... Phromo's been shut down for months. Love how knowledgeable about the scene that the gays on here are that there's been multiple posts about Prhomo on this thread since and no one's mentioned this yet.

    Really? I wasn't aware. I do apologise and I promise in future that I will more enthusiastically genuflect to the scene queen gods. Lest I be publicly chastised for not having my finger on the pulse.

    No need to slag people here.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    I'm actually quite surprised how very tiny it is. Licences are so expensive that nearly every pub in the city is bigger and I don't think there's any this small 'new' from the past 40 years or so

    If the licence and fitout costs aren't hanging on them heavily this should be quite cheap to keep running. One major reason we've so few gay venues is that you usually go big to cover the cost of a licence and big venues need big crowds. Cities with cheaper licencing can have multiple smaller venues of different types and atmosphere much easier and often don't have a George size club
