What kind of place do you normally like?

for a bit of a change, if you wanted it, would recommend a pint in the High Bee on oliver plunkett st, have to keep an eye out for it, its upstairs just across from clancy's.

Depends on what type of place you like though.

No you're not, because chav is a british word popularised by... overpaid chavs. You're a wacker. Denying you're a chav is the second sign of wackerdom. Bushing is the first.

Down by the weir in the Lee fields is always a good spot. Friend of mine also swears by the region at the back of Dominos, Washington Street.

Favourite story of his goes as follows. One night, him and a few friends were gatting at the back of Dominos, when a middle-aged man well-dressed in a suit and tranch coat wanders up. He pulls a can from the inside pocket of his coat, pops it, and starts drinking with the. Doesn't say much throughout other than pleasantries, and when finished, says "Good drinking with you lads" and walks off.

The Gateway

Is The Gateway the oldest pub in cork city?

dahamsta

I sincerely doubt it, where did you hear that? I've seen the Oval suggested as such - it was the last brewery-owned pub in Cork, but that's all I actually know about it - and just now on Google the Spailpín, but never the Gateway.

One of the funniest things I've seen is one of those brown signs pointing to that pub behind (and part of) the Queen's Old Castle, calling it a Historic Pub. Except it was fake, they made it themselves.

actually yeah, i read recently that it is! Its from the 1600's! cant remember the year exactly but its on a plaque on the wall. mighty impressive and only a stones throw from my doorstep (top of barrack st). nice pub too.

Femelade

yeah i know one of the guys thats leasing it (the gateway)at the moment, he claims its the oldest in cork, never been in there myself.

Balmed Out

The Gateway is Corks oldest pub followed by Mutton Lane oval (was) up there too. The Gateway can also lay a claim to being Irelands oldest pub if you insist on the pub being a pub continuously, the oldest pub in ireland was a shop or something for a little while

Femelade

interesting.............

There's a field/park at the top of Patrick's hill that's supposed to be good for drinking in (as in, no hassle). On a nice day it's a great place to go and chill, nice views etc. Not sure if it'd be any good in the evenings though...

Femelade

oh i know it! and i saw too girls in bikinis there last weekend....for all the guys that might be interested...

Wouldn't that be a different kind of bushin', though?

Ok, ok, I'll get my coat...

Is that not illegal?

Fysh

Very probably. I'm just pointing out that a few people I know who live nearby go there and drink occasionally and say they never have hassle from anyone for doing so.

Yeah, well, what would Judge Dredd say to that? Huh?

I, uh, I....oh, I don't know. Get sylvester stallone to put that helmet on again and maybe I'll hazard a guess. Luckily for public drinkers, the gardai aren't quite as fascistic as Dredd...

Sly as Joe Dredd was the worst example of casting I ever came across. Arnie is Dredd, period. Jesus, Sly doesn't even have a chin; Joe has two of 'em!

...which somehow conspires to remind me of that bit in Last Action Hero where Arnie and the kid go to the video store and see the signs for Sly Stallone in Terminator 2.
