    Hi,

    Just wondering if anyone's been to any of the 2024 gigs here so far and can tell me what the set-up is like inside WRT drinks and food options. Hoping there's going to be more than pints of Rockshore!

    Thanks,

    Paul

    I can't believe they're still pushing that rockshire sh*te. I have yet to meet anyone who likes it.

    Yeah was there on Saturday and had a few Rockshore. Not great but as a one of i didnt grumble.

    I was told the Guinness was actually alright but I don't like drinking Guinness outdoors..I know, weird, but to me it tastes different!

    Not much in food but it looked alright too but so many options around before you head in so i wouldnt bother either.

    Try Pablo's for a burrito if its nice fast food that works for you!

    Great venue though.

    Is it a 10:30 or 11:00 curfew this year does anyone know? Going to see Pillow Queens tomorrow night.

    Was there a few years back for Elvis Costello and it's a good venue

    In Cavan there was a great fire / Judge McCarthy was sent to inquire / It would be a shame / If the nuns were to blame / So it had to be caused by a wire.

    i was there last saturday for Glen Hansard

    The only food options i saw was a burger and fries place, and a chinese / dumpling place.

    The burger place had a couple of different of burger / pulled pork, with different options for fired (piggy fries, taco etc)

    teh chinese had spice bag opinion, springrolls, dumplings (didnt look too hard to be honest)

    queueing was a nightmare, probably 30mins as we hit iot between the support and main act, plus their card machine went down and they spent ages trying to fix it. Eventually they started to take cash payment.

    drink were usual rockshore lager / cider and guinness. They didnt canned mixers like G+T.

    They also did a very small strawberry daquiri at a whopping €12

    No soft drink in the main bar, had to go to teh food / coffee stall

    Better options outside beforehand.

    Momento (Italian) on Camden St, just across from the Bleeding Horse.

    because Diageo has a near monopoly on bar taps due to popularity of Guinness and can it as part of the taps requirement.

    Watching the po faced Pillow Queens in the coldest july I can remember whilst sipping Roskshore in a plastic glass is my idea of hell!

    That's it pretty much. And diageo decide how many taps each beer gets in each unit/bar in venues.

    Eating there is a mad idea

    The Guinness is good though. Maybe the best plastic cup Guinness Ive had.

    We need to boycott Rockshore as a country.

    Well it’s turned into a nice evening, not cold, and I’m not drinking Rockshore 😄 pint of Guinness is good

    That was Morgana - yes she was very good, great voice and stage presences.

    The PQs were great also - in awe of the side of the crowd, they didn't wanna leave the stage
