Your local.

Thanx 4 The Fish

Well title just about says it all. What/Where is your local, why do you go there, what's the beer loik ??

Place :- Castlebar
Pub :- Mc Goldrick's

Reason :- decent, clean pub, has pool table, a couple of dart's boards, quite a bit of space and the beer is quite good

Prices :- A bit more expensive than the rest of the town but far cheaper than Dublin/Galway

jd

Dublin-Stags Head
Wexford-Generally Tom Moore Tavern - less often-Con Mackens

Pepe LeFrits

Mine keeps changing

Place - Goatstown
Pub - The Goat Grill
Reasons - 2 minute walk from my house, nice enough place. Fairly old crowd in there, people like Olivia Mitchell go there. Im not sure if thats a Pro or a Con though

Place - Dundrum
Pub - The Eagle
Reasons - Nearby to myself and most of my friends. Lots of young people. Also not sure if that is a pro or a con. Nothing else really, the place is a hole.

Place - Stillorgan
Pub - The Millhouse
Reasons - Er, um, dunno. I guess its sort of a half way between the Goat and the Eagle, nice(ish) place and usually a not too old crowd.

Big Chief

€4.00 is extortion for a pint.

Area: Portlaoise
Pub: Grellan Delaneys.

Very nice place. Great pint @ €3.25.
Crowded at weekends etc. with mixed crowd.

Area: Stradbally
Pub: Ramsbottoms

Nice place. Wonderful pint @ €3.15 [first one free for staff! ]
Mostly aged crowd but good place for bringing a few mates if your out just to drink.

Pepe LeFrits

No, €4.60 is extortionate for a pint.

regi

Place: Pembroke St, D2

Its two seconds walk down the road, and the staff are actually nice and friendly. Definately my favourite.

popjoc

Place: Keady , Co. Armagh
Pub: Arthurs Pub (known as Stans)
Why: Unique Atmosphere, some would call Dutch

Also one of the best new venues for live music in Ireland

Check: www.arthurspub.com


Popjoc

Place: plaza hotel New york
name: The Oak Bar
price: $9 for a bottle of coors light

But the atmosphere is very laid back and you don't have to pay for your beers untill you ask for the check* after seven or eight of them.

mm
*note to self,check the price of beers before taking advantage of this service again

damnyanks

Oh gee isnt that nice of them, they wait until you have had 9 beers so you can't remember if you actually had 8 or 9.

9 dollars a beer as well, what you playin at ?!

xern

Mayo - Harringtons in partry! Great pint great craic.
Leixlip - The six tits, or no, The 3 sisters!! wops

schrodinger

Closest pub to me that I like would be Gub Dandy's in Terenure but my favourite pub is Fibbers and has been for about two - three years now.

Yavvy

I like to drink in Q bar and 4 dame lane oh and Dakota too
but thay are all a bit ponsy.

I still look back at my days of drinking in the "open air inn" and smile

my local is the yacht in Ringsend which is a great pub for a bit of old craic but there is no eye candy to speak of.
If anyone lives in kilmainham and doesnt drink in Murrays ( bow lane ) get your self doen there. Its great craic.

Also I think the 40 foot in Dun laoghaire is great for a bit of ornathology. oh oh and that pub in Blanch "Whest" is great for pulling...slappers as far as the eye can see.

hussey

A1 (Ardlea Inn) in artane
or Barcode in fairview (lovely place, but can get some skangers)

Railway Social Club.
Comfortable, nice staff, good beer.

Cheapest pints in wexford
e.g €2.95 for a pint of bud

schrodinger

I don't really have a local where I live but when I do go for a drink anywhere around home it would be :
Gub Dandys in Terenure
Pints: Really nice, not that expensive compared to everywhere else.

Whereas my regular would be:
Fibbers on Parnell St.
Pints: you need a strong liver, 3.20 before 12 and 3.70 after 12

PH01

My locals are the pubs around Ballinteer -
'Taylor 3 Rock', 'Balinteer House' and the 'Coach House' - they're all just about OK but I wouldn't rave about them.
The 'Blue Light' is a good place in winter - a few nice pints beside the fire.

But these wouldn't be my favourites...

Crowley Bar in Bandon
Mulligan's in Poolbeg Street
Mahoney's Pub, Corballa, on the Sligo/Ballina road.
And Neary's off Grafton St.

The Buzzs in Carlow, a great place to go if yr fed up with the crowds of Dinn Ri. Did anyone hear of a place called 'The Connaught' in Charlestown, Mayo?

Thanx 4 The Fish

Have heard of it alright and have heard a couple of good things about it, is about half an hours drive from here but there is a private bus laid on some weekends.

didn't the name change to bacchus (sp?)

Redshift

The Deerhunter on glenageary roundabout is my watering hole of choice.

gazzer

Crowes in Ballsbridge (great pub for going to when we finish work on a Friday)

When i am in town i usually go to HUBA or GUBU or else downstairs in The Oak.

Where i live my local is the Shanty (Mulhuddart) went there for the first time last Sunday cos they were selling €3 pints for the duration of the Worthington Cup....bit of a scary place i have to say.

The upstairs is now called Bacchus, the downstairs was renamed to Aquarium (what a dumb name for a club!) but no one ever calls it that, it's always gonna be fibbers.

And yes, the pints are nasty there. Haven't been there in _ages_

pffth no, parnell st in dublin

Sarky

Galway- Sally Long's.

Good Guinness that costs 3.25, Good atmosphere of friendliness, friendly staff, and they also have no problems jumpoing over the bar to swiftly get rid of trouble, which is very rare as a result (one guy is big fellow, who used to box)

And a Jukebox with AC/DC, Zeppelin, Metallica, and Slayer, and Rock/Metal night on Wednesdays, and regular live acts.

For me, it's heaven...

lmarov

Can anyone tell me what the name of the local is in Bayside, Dublin?

I will be visiting with friends in August, and wanted to know a little bit about

some areas.


I am from New York and am also into Progressive House/Trance music/clubs.

Any place good we can check out?


Thanks for any input......:) My email is : lesliecro@hotmail.com

county

the bridge tavern/wicklow town
a lot of ex-pats drink there

the grey horse/manchester

£2.00 a pint and lock-ins most nights

bounty_hunter

Place: Dundalk, County Louth
Pub: The Spirit Store

Reason: The staff are absolutely lovely, the atmosphere is great, there's always a good mix of people there so you're never short of somebody to talk to, it's lovely and cosy and the seats are comfortable, there's a good selection of alcohol at reasonable prices and it's out of the centre of town so it's never flooded with idiots coming out of clubs late at night, etc. Also, the music is second to none! It's an excellent venue for gigs of all kinds, wherever your interest lies.

biko

Tigh Neachtains, Galway
Stout 3.60
Pro: very good staff, fantastic location and nice pints
Cons: arty-farty and often very crowded

Pepe LeFrits

This is one old thread.

In my new local, pints cost £1.90

therecklessone

Not local, but right beside the 41c terminus...

The Flowing Tide, Abbey Street.
Haven't a clue what I pay for a pint, cos its nearly always a round I'm buying. Can usually be found propping up the bar a couple of days running midweek, slagging the bar staff.

The Bayside Inn, quality place. Just at the main shopping area. There's also the Sheiling hotel which is just a short bus ride away. Howth is another place just a short bus ride away and it has loads.
