Drunk in Mullingar...

silenoz

It's been a long time since I've headed into Mullingar for a drink or seven...
But after all the messin with college I think I've had enough of different parts of the country so I'm back to Mullingar -This is a very depressing time of my life, time to hit the drink.

Is Mullingar still a bad spot for a night out?

MuchSavage

yes yes yes and yes........

i get sick of it very quickly, suppose depends who you out with, but mojo's you'll get sick off, music in fence ain't great sometimes, temple bar.... was good when you were young, but too small......greville has good music and is good craic but nobody will go there!!

the druids is always good for a bit of craic, cross bar if your a GAA person,

Mullingar you will easily feel old in after goin to college..... mojo's is like a creche!! same stuff over n over every week.......

Mullingar ain't as good as the craic you would have when u in college......

B@ndit

So this is a depressing time of your life?
well believe it or not, you may NOT have learned this in college but drink is a depressive so best of luck with your drinking...

Mullingar is a great place, well except for weekends when you see hundreds of tanked up people making a nuicence of themselves after a night on the batter...

If you are depressed then see a doctor, else it looks like another student with no money moaning they cant afford to get pissed and may even have to look for a job.

excuse me if i sound harsh but i lived beside students in a housing estate in maynooth for 4 years and have no respect for them at all...

silenoz

Yeah, it sounds like Mullingar is pretty bad alright... You seem a bit agitated B@ndit. But I know you're right too, all the tanked up wasters make themselves known at the weekend. And yes, drink does cause depression, that's why it's best to refrain from such a level of drinking...

I have to say I think Danny Byrnes is a great pub, fantastic atmosphere in there these days. Apart from that I'm not sure, haven't seen any similar establishments in quite a while.

Cosgroves is good if you enjoy pool and rock music as that is wat is usually played (someone correct me if I'm wrong please)

ever since georges changed hands i have been drinking in CONS in the middle of the town, friendly staff and it doesnt get too packed (no smokin area though so you have to go outside)and i transplanted from dublin about four years ago.

As some who lives near the town - i can say it is a really bad place to go out- very clique crowd - theres such an agressive atomosphere in the pubs and clubs - thats not to say that I've seen that many fights there - but theres just something about it that I'm not gone on at all!

oldman29

Mullingar is a ****hole...FACT... get out of there ya poor fooker..

As a Cork person who has to visit Mullingar every second weekend, i think ythe Greville is OK. I go to Caffreys myself , its nice and quiet.

Hope I'm not putting my foot in it here, but I'm one of 2 resident Jocks for Le Louvre (Greville), and its usually a good night. Recently, new lights were installed, and a good mix of young and mature (not old) folk go there. You have the bar to hang around in IF you don't want to go into the club - 1 admission price for all (free before 11pm I think too).

If you're into modern music e.g. R'n'B, dance (but GOOD dance that you can DANCE to, not just hop around like an idiot!), and old skool stuff, then thats what we play in the Greville on a Saturday night.

Ok, so I'm unexpectedly stuck in Mullingar for the night......if you had one night to enjoy the town (nothing too young...I'm mid 30's), where would ya go ???

Beren

I think Mullingar is alright if you havent been there in a while. I head over there a few times a year and its always good craic.

Hey, I was just wondering about the Cross Bar in Mullingar.. I havent been in Mullingar in ages and want to know the low down in this place? What is the average age, whos running it, whats the atmostphere like etc?

Thanks!:p

nickevan

Crossbar is mainly for GAH (Gaa) heads as far as I know , hence the name "the crossbar" - but never been in it - could be wrong

Wooly Wooly

Crossbar in Mullingar is run by a couple of the Westmeath Football Players. Known as a GAA Place but ventured by all. Mixed age group go there. Have extended the Bar Area. Music on a Saturday Nite. Not a bad place to go know of worst places.....:p

I have heard what you play in the Greville. It is a disgrace. A DJ is supposed to be influentential, educational & original. Not someone who can't mix the formulaic crap taken straight from the charts & compilation cds. Learn to scratch my friend...

Found out from someone else it was the night of Saturday 19th. I was on holiday that weekend, and the guy who usually covers me decided to try his hand at using his new laptop for the gig that night. Needless to say his eagerness preceeded much experience before that night, so he got many a thing wrong! I won't name and shame him, but he knows better now!

The Crossbar mullingar co.westmeath is one of best pubs in the town,it takes in a mixed crowd of people from young to old day and night. the transformation of the pub from its original state to its present day is a credit to its owners westmeath footballer Brian morley and footballer and pop idol wanna be dermot mullen. the outdoor smoking room is one of best around and boasts an outdoor bar with plenty of heating for those cold nights, its a trouble free great atmosphere pub and cleanliness is second to none.Staff are also excellent and plenty to keep the ball rolling
Entertainment in the pub is always great at night with DJ Dermot mullen and jukebox harry i recommend this pub to any one with a bit of humour and not the ones that carry the sour puss on there faces 24/7 and could definitly name a few of those in mullingar.
FOOTBALL IN WESTMEATH MAY NOT BE GREAT BUT THIS PUB MAKES UP FOR IT ALL. pic of dermot:cool: pic of brian:D

riverdancer

One of the best actually is the best pub in mullingar to go to for live entertainment and craic great music live music on monday's wednesdays thursdays and sunday nites.

Mixed ages its all live at the hive here. Resident D.J. Dermot can sure mix the tracks to get u into the party mood. Cocktails and wicked shots its the place to go . Riverdance live at the weekends either behind the bar or on the counter top. Huge smoking area with bottle bar so whether your inside or out u are assured of a great nite. See ya there.

redbullandvodka

ur a legend

riverdancer

no you have the shakes and the moves no one can compete with u

pablo21

Excellent addition to Mullingar, Dermot and Brian have put alot of work into the place and it a great spot for the craic. And I've as much interest in the Gaa as I do in stamp collecting!

marlyman

pooooo, hughes is gone. i will miss it so much, missed the lock in on tuesday too. im raging. caffreys is the spot in town in the mullingar at the mo. its got it all, pool, snooker, multiple sports on multiple tellys, loads of seating, outdoor smoking that might as well be indor.

Racheal Green

So occidental, you dont like the night life in mullingar, cant blame ya, from out side mullingar, myself, in galway studing at the moment thank god, galways like heaven when youve grown up with a nightlife like mullingar..

Mullingar is a great town to live in and go out in..i;m there 5 years and i can't wait for the weekends to come so as to hit the town. anyone who says mullingar is boring blaa blaa, has a clicky crowd etc..blaa blaa thats a load of rubbish. ye obviously don't know how to go out and enjoy yourselves and don't have friends. if ye don't like it, then please stay away. mullingar has a huge selection of pubs with something to suit everyone. i stand firm on this. students, stay in college if thats the sort of immature lifestyle you prefer rather than maturity and becoming an adult. mullingar is obviously much too grown up for some of ye...

Racheal Green

God Monkey31, take it handy, glad to say that i have plenty of friends from all over westmeath and happy to let you know that there not too keen on the whole mullingar scene either, didnt mean that mullingar is all that bad just that it can be improved thats all. All it needs is a few good live bands and to have an older base club instead of the creche that is mojo's. Sorry but the last thing i want to come home to is a group of immature screaming 16 year olds, that wear belts instead of skirts and bikinis instead of tops. Just my opinion as a single hetrosexual. I can see how its such a turn on to so many lads thought.:)

monkey31

''Sorry but the last thing i want to come home to is a group of immature screaming 16 year olds, that wear belts instead of skirts and bikinis instead of tops''

fair enough - either do i - hence why i don't go to the places that the belts & bikinis go to either. regardless what you think - this is what happens in every single town, city etc..around the country. you can't avoid it - other than you stay within the university/student nightlife... however, from a different angle - the belts & bikinis wearers - dont you find them amusing to an extent? they look so ridiculous, uncomfortable, total slappers & at this time of the year - frozen to bits!!!!!!

Racheal Green

Ok wel you have a point there they do look totatly ridiculous, yeah but most towns also have elder niteclubs and who said i was totatly obcessed with the student nite life either..:) like the more mature student life actually,most of my friends are mature students , and even though we may sometimes act as naive students.We have a laugh more when were in a decent pub, niteclub, then followed by a few drinks in ours, then we ever had getting completely leggless and not being able to stand and slutting around like our other fellow students..:)

LittleKitty

Mullingars ok for drinking, drink is far cheaper then if you were drinking in Dublin and the athmosphere is pritty friendly.
One bad thing is that if your out for a night and you arent much of a night club person theres no real place to go that plays rock/indie music except the Stables and that closes early enough, theres no good clubs that play an alternative dj set.

Meadow

I havent been on this board in a while but since ive been gone it seems that the boards are being used for advertising??? I suppose if ya have to do it ya have to it.... So to the owners:D and:cool: , i hope its working...

redbullandvodka

ok meadow it january 2006 now your all withered away and the cows are eating u up in their paddocks maybe spring u will be reborn and freshin up a little bit. i doubt its advertising im doin for them but the drink is pure unlike all the other pubs and night clubs in town that u get the bad sickness out of every time u come out off them. now just to let ye all no theres a serious night club opening in the arts centre soon when it comes under renovation its info thats not supposed to be released cos i as a journalist for a local paper in the town might lose his job:)

You're right. I had it down as a work of fiction.

For a supposed journalist, you have a very poor grip on reality and an even poorer grip on the English language.

doc...

Kerrigans for a game of pool ... crane club for a game of poker ... kerrigans for a few more beers ... on to Mojos ... back to some random house party ... lots of Dutch Mould ... Typical night in Mulgaria:eek:

dts

Been here for 2 1/2 years and have to say I prefer the local village pub to Mullingar. If we do go in then the Greville is the best spot for people in there 30's

Mullingar isnt a bad place for a afternoon sesh watching the football mind.

Jerichoholic

Caseys is a great spot if you enjoy being squashed against a wall all night saying "sorry bud". Same goes for Danny Byrnes. How anyone can enjoy a few drinks in such an atmosphere escapes me. "sorry Bud"

Sorry Indeed!

planck2

Mullingar is not exactly the best spot in the world for good night life, but you know people are never happy. If your looking to go for a few drinks with your mates it 's as good a place as anywhere else, the problem is finding somebody who you can a have a decent conversation with and one has the same problem with everywhere else in the country

Maybe they are apologising in their choice of beverages? Sounds like a normal nightclub in any case...

Jerichoholic

Caseys is a pub! And the smallest pub on Earth too. I can see how Caseys gets so jammed, theres about 3 chairs in the whole place. Danny's has a capacity of around 80,000, but they let at least 200,000 come in. It's the worst pub in town I think.

HEATZ

mullingar is a arse of a place i had to live in it for nearly two years and hated it
used to drink in the ukon bar as thats where all the bikers went at the time (97/98)
been back a few times and it aint changed at all
