i'm a typical Dub, hence why i forgot to stick that in! so i'm looking for places in Dublin City Centre

flogen · 07-07-2004 06:45PM

well I'd say somewhere like maybe Zanzibar, or The Sugar Club, as they're both comfortable places, and usually have music on. Depending on your taste, you may hate Zanzibar, or love it, and the same for Sugar Club. Also note the Sugar Club has alot of gigs on, which you may not be interested in....

Bruccelles (sp?) is a grand place for a few quick pints too... or outside in O Reillys at Tara St. dart station can be nice and chilled, a grand place for a chat...

thats just afew places off the top of my head, The Isaac Butt isnt bad either, but I think thats closed for refurbishments

not a huge fan of o'reillys - grand place but not the best area - and last time we saw the results

Its full of pricks and costs a fortune, but Sam Sara or Cafe en Seine are winners!!

you talking about o'reillys?

sam sara isnt bad...

cafe en seine isnt great... its a bit too 'super pub'.. no character...

Hogans or the Globe are good bars for what you would be looking for...

And Cafe En Seine doesn't cost a fortune????? €6 a pint last time I was in there :rolleyes:

yeah, crash, the area there is a bit dodgy alright, which is a shame.. the white horse around there is nice too, and you dont have to go as far down the quays to get to it...

(what do you mean by last time we saw the results...btw?)

wat de hell man? go to fuyawoarks! its deadly!

StickyMcGinty · 08-07-2004 03:46PM

best pint in dublin - the Harbourmaster beside the I.F.S.C. or the excise bar a little further down.

lovely spots, full off ifsc winkers, but the ambience and atmosphere is super!!

whichever place you pick you have to buy the poster a pint.... its in the charter ye'know!

Capitol on Georges Street, next Corner up from Hogans.

Really nice comfy seats, great for a chat and do great cocktails.

Everything you need to impress a woman.

sosumé?
the duke?

That's a contradiction isn't it? If it's full of IFSC wánkers there's no way ambience and atmosphere can even exist.

Wanker hangouts all - try Mulligans in Poolbeg Street, no music, but you forget to say what 'good' is.

silverside · 08-07-2004 05:03PM

wouldnt have anything bad to say against the Duke, though could see your point about Sosume/Dakota. If you can cross the river, I like the Met bar on Eden Quay and Panama on Bachelors walk.

Mulligans is really trading off its reputation as a 'real dublin pub' - but if you want a proper aul lads' pub try Kennedys beside Tara Street dart station, or the Flowing Tide on abbey street.

flogen · 08-07-2004 05:08PM

oh, good call silverside, the met bar, definitly.... upstairs is nice and chilled if you want to chat, and if you want a dance, you can head downstairs (you have to pay in there, mind you)

Let me clear this up, you don't think €6 a pint is expensive?

The George. The likelihood of anybody else hitting on your girlfriend will be minimal...apart from lesbians.

missy me · 08-07-2004 09:26PM

barcode is a cool disco bar or whatever the hell it is.theres an arcade so you can go have fun there or bram stoker museum.i like the place anyway!especially on a friday (it only opens from thurs 2 sun):mad:

silverside · 08-07-2004 09:30PM

missy me · 08-07-2004 09:36PM

Character??? What are you on about? You can't be Irish!
It is a pub...it has drink...and hot chicks if you're lucky..that's all the decoration you need. Cafe En Sein is bigger, so it can fit more of these in!

I dunno, man... its a dodgy issue... If a bloke hits on your girlfriend, you can get territorial, if he keeps acting the idiot, depending on the situation you might end up getting agressive. same situation with a lesbian, what are you gonna do... beat them up?? PC gone mad, I tell's ya...:D;)

Traffic on abbey street-very couple orientated atmosphere.

Handles on thomas street or beside christ church

Draupnir · 09-07-2004 12:09PM

Traffic? Are ya mad, its a knackers hang out. Bring your girlfriend there if you want her to get stared at by a load of skangers.

Grand Central, new place on the corner of Lower Abbey Street and O'Connell Street is quite nice. Its where the bank used to be.

Red Alert · 09-07-2004 01:09PM

Thanks for all the help so far. Was actually gonna think about traffic but if it's really bad then probably shouldn't!

Forgot to say that dancefloor is a must - she's only happy when she's up dancin!

Red Alert · 09-07-2004 01:13PM

One of the lads at work has just recommended trinity arches.... anyone else agree?

pubs/clubs to bring the girlfriend to?
