Yes, No, Yes

Damn damn damn.I guess that's Fantomas out the door for me!!

Mongo

Are they strict???

BizzyC

Dunno, when I was there they asked my age and if I had ID, but didn't make me show it.
Saying that though, people have mistaken me for a 25 year old since I was about 16.

Well actually sometimes they can be a bit anal and say 21s...go there often enough for gigs and that, but every now and again if ur going to the bar they'll say 21s...gashbags, nice place though, once you get past the pretenious wagons.

Could you not skank someones ID for the night...?

Creamy Goodness

i was there a couple of weeks back to see brendan benson, they id'd everyone at the door. but didn't matter to me as i'm 19

Yeah, I've been to quite a few gigs there and only once have I not been asked for ID.

But if you like Fantomas you might be interested in the show on in Whelan's on the same night, Wolf Eyes. Although they are a bit heavier/noisier/weirder than Fantomas.

There's one bouncer at The Village who i despise! If there's a group going in he does things like check everyone's ID, then smirks, then says "i think this place is a bit old for you don't you?" Grrrr!

I think that's only for the bar because I've never seen under 21's not allowed into the venue (provided they have ID of course). Not that it matters to me :cool:

Whelan's is just as bad, if not worse, than The Village in terms of ID requirement.

I have been turned away/forced to give hassle countless times at the above two places that, in the end, it's just not worth it unless it's your favourite band or something.

When i was going to whelan's underage, it was hard without ID. (i was going to gigs, not drinking).
Few years on, and i have to say they still do check.
Actually, now i do recall the last time i went to the village i got ID'd, and i'd say i've been ID'd twice in the last 18 months, so i wouldn't rick it if its going to cost you money.

John

Wow the reason I said about Whelan's was because in all the gigs I've never seen anyone being asked for ID.

Well he was still underage. What I meant about it not worrying me is that even if it's over 21's, I'm still old enough

lordgoat

i've been going to the village to gigs for the last 4 years or so and they've always been pretty strict with id at the door, i think whelans have mellowed a little bit or had i haven't been there in about 6 months mind... must do something about that soon
