So from what I understand, standing at gigs is a no no.. but dancing in a nightclub is ok.. or am I wrong??
It's so hard to think places will be allowed back open from the 30th Jan esp with having the 'high case numbers' as the reason to keep the restrictions going. The 8pm closing is some balls and the image of people falling around the place at that time of night is insanity
Mid January word will come out that 'nope not yet lads'
What's is the 9th January date that seems to be mentioned ?
Have you seen the hospital numbers recently? That is what counts, is it not? Not bloody cases, Christ!
Some people are just plain miserable and wants others to be the same, very sad
Have you seen the case numbers recently?
Peoples health is more important than getting the shift in an overpriced pub with music, that is the simple reality of today.
I'd love to meet my friends for a pint, but its not really a wise idea at the moment. Keep safe and sensible.
All political posturing. “Look at us, we’re alpha males, we’re in charge!!! We’re shutting down venues that under 30s socialise in while the hospitals fill with people over 70.”
And mugs buy it.
When will nightclubs reopen in this country now, and will there be any left. Noboby in government seems to care but Dublin is going to be a very dull place if there are no nightclubs left for people to goto
well done NPHET
Yeah right. Most of the Germans, Spaniards, French who work in these places are a- poorly paid and b- tight as a nun, whether well or poorly paid.
The idea of any of these people paying 15 quid on a door and sinking 13 7 euro pints is simply not realistic. Most of them are too miserable to get a bus, that's why they all cycle.
the covid becomes more dangerous on the stroke of midnight, new cinderella variant from the Kingdom of Faraway
If a lot of them do it won't that defeat the purpose of the restriction? Wasn't the point of it to get nightclubs, or the vast bulk of them, to close without closing them directly? Or is there a specific anti-viral rationale to the closing at midnight thing that I'm not seeing?
rep of ireland fast becoming like one of those undesireable nations or regions of the world where most people avoid, north korea, rural alamabama , dodgy african nations, where theres all manner of odd ball regulations, defenitley not a place people would want to holiday to or migrate to. id imagine hse heads and nyphet would be happy enough if they could bring in curfews all year round, or a time limit or drink limit to hospitality.
surely no big deal considering 94% of adults are fully vaxxed
@PTH2009 yes you are correct, they can't use the PUP this time because they have already spent so much on it and the ECB is about to raise interest rates next year with inflation roaring.
Last year they didn't care about money, now reality has dawned, also all the new tech companies in Dublin with theiryoung international workforce will be getting sick of Dublin with no nightlife. One of the big selling points of Dublin was its nightlife they are killing the goose that laid the golden egg with their stupidity and shortsightedness
Midnight (so you'll have time for 1 extra drink before the TDs send you home to bed).
Yeah but you need an antigen test result or covid cert to get in after 13th December.
Is it 11.30 closing for all from tonight?
Is Northern Ireland fully open with nightclubs? i want to head up a few times in december
True and no way will NPHET/Government admit there wrong, instead Hospitality is getting a brunt of the blame once again but why aren't industry representatives asking for 'proof' hospitality is causing the rise in numbers ?
Me thinks there petrified because were entering party season and they know they cant use the PUP this time round
The government is really pissing off the young people with these restrictions. We have the same rate of infections as Poland now who only have 50% vaccinated and everything open most of the summer. Where is the payoff for getting so many people vaccinated? we should have opened everything earlier in the summer when the over 40s were all vaccinated, the same last summer, the UK is already passed their peak and numbers dropping off now.
The government and Nphet are all wrong now
I think some are already planning to open at 8 now, they had been closed for so long and now only barely opened that the novelty of going to a nightclub again has not worn off. If anything these restrictions are only making people more keen to go because they are afraid the government are going to close everything again.
The government moves and talk of restrictions are actually having the opposite effect they are making young people more determined than ever to socialize when they can.
Coppers is actually opening from 6 every evening
See a lot of nightclubs opening from 8-12 should be fun. Perfect for a Sunday sesh
Reality is they won't be open, Martin himself admitted this effectively shuts them.
how many nightclubs will open from 8-12, i would think if coppers was open from 8-12 most weekeend nights it would be busy, out around 5:30 after work on a friday , few pints head to coppers at 9 , dance, shift home by 12:30 lovely
Wonder are they gonna start calling off gigs again. Had been eyeing up Dara O'Briain in Castlebar in January
Are pubs actually back to normal hours yet ?
Seems to be a mix of last orders 00.30 and out by 1am in most of the late bars frequented
Can someone post link (website) to these tickets to nightclubs ? (Not for this weekend, but visiting soon and need to understand how works). Maybe Dicey Riley’s or Whelans. Thank you.
tickets are only required if dancing is permitted.. thats my understanding of it anyway - but i am open to correction on that
Yeah i heard that Coppers place was going to the wall recording record losses before the pandemic hit.

I don’t know anyone going to clubs aside from one cousin who’d do Tamangos every few weeks, he lives 5 minutes away and it’s popular with his teammates from football... he doesn’t miss it
pubs have been more in vogue the last few years it seems... one club not a million miles away was charging 15 euros in on Friday / Saturday nights... so the guts of 3 pints before you’d buy a pint... taxis plus entry fee 25-30 quid before you buy a drink..
