    Myself and a few mates went clubbing there Saturday night and can i just say it was awful. I have no idea whatsoever what we were thinking, but I drank plenty of Sambucha and "danced" the night away.

    Just a word of warning avoid this place at all costs.

    Indeed there are many venues like that in galway that make the skin crawl. Horrible places with plenty of stuck up pretentious clientel (Sp?)

    I second that, wore bright white runners in once.... not even a flinch from any of the bouncers.

    Won't be going back in a hurry though, only kind of entertaining, Thursday night during the college term..... kind of.....

    I went there once, ordered a pint of Smithwicks to take my mind off the horrible music and ugly, irritating people, and promptly gagged on what tasted more like fermented washing detergent than anything else.

    Shabby, shabby little dump.

    I used to love 90's night there on a wendsday nights during college, fair enough its pretty much a dump and anyone remember when the downstairs bar would have a rotten smell of sh1t, something to do with the dodgy drains but besides that it used to be fierce craic most nights! Is that 90's night still running??

    People who go to either for any length of time either don't know any better, or had the "good taste" centres of their brains removed from accidents or other medical reasons.
