Stables Vs Scholars

Peteee

Which is your favourite pub??

mine personally is the scholars, its just a bit quieter i feel, pints are marginally better (thats not saying much mind) theres more talent behind the bar (at least on thursday anyway) tiger woods is good for the occasional laugh, coyote ugly

anyway, we'll be up there tonight! thats up in the pub, not up dancing!

Nukem

Em the scholars is better i think, but always seem to get p*ssed in the stables

kaimera

Stables used to be cool... back before they did it 'up' and made it look like an airport bar. Back in my day... *mutter**mutter*

Peteee

library restraunt ehh

dont think ive even been in the library this semester!

Zombrex

it all depends on the mood you are in ...

If you feel like getting hit in the head with a hurley and tripping over sports bags as you fight yourway to the bar surrounded by a rainbow of GAA tops, then I recommend the Stables.

On the other hand if you like your pubs empty apart from American students, while you still have stand because the 5 chairs they have are taken, then the Scholars is the place for you.

hope that helps :rolleyes:

Peteee

rofl

i'll pick the 5 chairs!

kaimera

aye pete...I concur.

Peteee

The stables is class, i was there once. I met a classy bird and i ended up back at her place.

Not really adding much here but...

Scholars for quieter nights: better music, nicer pints, less like a cattle mart. Also for food: breakfast there is the best breakfast in Ireland *drools all over self*. Best morning ever is waking up after a night out in time to get breakfast before they finish, then getting the big table by the door with the comfy seats - ahh bliss. I don't eat much dinner in college (too expensive) but if I did it'd be there.

Stables for getting drunk before clubbing. And nothing else. Food is crap, pints are only ok - not terrible but not the nicest - music generally worse, unless The Lollygaggers are there. The GAA shirts thing is true.

What about the *snigger* Sports Bar

kaimera

sports bar for the soccer - guaranteed to see the game && hear it!

Peteee

rofl, i was waiting for somebody to laugh about the sports bar!!

never been there myself

kaimera

never been to college either fs.
get in here now peter. the vacs will be packed and we have a meeting in 50 mins...

I used to kayak, back when I had time to do things, and the sports bar was handy for grabbing a pint after coming outta the Arena at 11:00. Apart from that, watched a match one Sunday when nowhere else was open, went to one or two table quizzes and that's about all.

Oh and I acquired a rubbish bag full of ice from there for our end of year party in May

if u want to see fine male talent in its raw state(natural is the best in my opinon) without the excess brylcream and hugo boss i would recommend the sports bar for all the ladies!!wouldnt recommend it for when you are going clubbing but for a quiet drink and some good eye candy definetly the sports bar. bad experience in the stables some fella put his stool down on my toe(i was wearing sandles not the best move) and broke my toe. Was hobbling for weeks afterwards and got no apology!!!scholars grand too though

klong

i think you're the only lady here dinoflagellates....

kaimera

i reserve the right to withhold judgement till further notice as to whether said poster is male or female.

dinoflagellates

i am a lady!!!!

Peteee

Scholars it is i'd say.

Jaysus it was mobbed last night. Never seen anything like it tbh.

redalert2

i think the scholars is really boring. everyone is hidden away behind big divisions. the stables is way more craic!

nokia7600

hmmmm for the raw talent it has to be the stables.scholars is always good for a laugh

Ah those were the days, start off the weekend with Happy Hour on a Friday evening after lectures with cheap pints and chicken and chips, stay there till about 8, head home to curragh birin, drink our nagins and then off to stumble about in the lodge Bliss. Then to finish off the weekend, after a rough saturday night, fall in the door of the scholars for the breakfast club on sunday morning. Sunday papers, a big dirty fry up and about 20 bottles of Lucozade each.

Stables is a hole - full of Jock GAA heads and bimbo GAA chasers

klong

and whats wrong with GAA types?

thror

Don't get me started

Nah only messing, they can be great people and I'm not against the playing of sports!

But when a big crowd of jocks are together, they tend to make a lot of people uncomfortable and self-conscious. Maybe not their fault, but I'd still prefer the more individualistic (is that a word?) Scholars.

Photi

Has to be Scholars, better food, better music, better staff and less annoying first years!

Mr. CooL ICE

The food in stables is generally crap. They do (or at least used to) a good bbq chicken with chips, but the scholars has way better food and pints.

The sports bar? Muhahahaha! I dare anyone to walk in there some evening, when there is no match on, past all the people in tracksuits drinking their carrot juice, and ask for a pint of anything without getting the feeling that the whole place has stopped to stare at you in disgust.
