i would say just go to town
you will find your own way to some nice place.
Its very difficult to predict a place and then if you dont enjoy there there is disappointment. so the best thing is "go with the Flow"
you can have a bad experience at the best place in town
&
you can find what you are looking for, sometime in the worst place.0 -

Well judging from the lingo used in your posts I wouldn't stray too far from the likes of bondi beach/D2, etc. etc. etc.0 -
Is this a bird thing? I go out with one or two of the lads a load. Sure you need to, going with a large group is a pain in the arse- Ive seen nights where maybe 8 of us went where we would be split between 3 or 4 nightclubs because of bouncers only letting part of the group in.
As for Dublin nightlife, its dead, its gone, it doesnt exist. Went back to Tripod for only the 2nd time since it stopped being called the Red Box, it was utter ****e. Some of the blandest house imaginable, not one classic even spinned (prick of a DJ kept mixing bits of Born Slippy in for maybe 5 mins hinting it was about to get played, never did though
), yid have to be off your face to have a good one there. Sad stuff, I loved the Red Box years ago. Few months ago in Buskers we ran into a few Danish lads. Sound ****ers, we were having a banter with them about how we had just beaten them 4-0 in the friendly in Denmark (oh how times have changed ). They were asking what the club downstairs (Boomerangs) was like. I hadnt been in years due to the over 21s rule, over the years Id maybe managed to sneak in once and beg my way in twice. 2 times were great, one was utter ****e, but id heard it was an ok spot and one of my mates had a workmate who always went that he wanted to bump into, so e decided on it.
The Danes, looking somewhat bored, left by 1:30 and i couldnt blame them. Awful ****in cheesehole, i felt sorry they had spent prsumably a good bit of money coming to Dublin. When i asked the DJ to play a few classic 90s dance tunes (i wasnt asking him to dig out a copy of an Asylum or Sides set from 1995, just some general, well known stuff, Prodigy, Underworld, whatever). DJ replied that club policy generally dictates no dance music unless its current chart stuff
When im abroad and foreigners ask me is Dublin worth visiting I tell the truth. No, it isnt. Its overpriced, clubs close too early and the clubs are brutal. Maybe im just getting older and in the past i was high on the mere fact i was in a nightclub getting locked, but they seem to get worse with every passing year.Dub_girl_101 wrote: »I'm a chilled out, outgoing girl n just wanna have a mad night of fun!Dub_girl_101 wrote: »Yea also for the record...both 17...

I think I agree with you on this. The over all entertainment quality
entertainment = value for money is rubbish
Too much over priced.
that said i have never been refused entry into a pub or club call it a miracle. 0 -
smaller groups are always best; more than 4 and I find you have a problem keeping everyone together.
Girls are so funny, why would 2 be a big deal?? you will get more attention with just two. Guys will stay the hell away from a group of 10-15 girls 0 -

10 girls = More variety
so its a buyers market
its simple demand and supply rule

Danes are cool, met quite a few of them at this stage and such fond memories. Redbox was always a kip. I like doyles, I ran into a girl with Pale Fire in her purse, enough said. Over priced drinks though but lots of cheesy music.
Dublin social scene is depressing. If we weren't such alcoholics we couldn't tolerate such rubbish!0 -

mate that is an excellent piece.
Though on the economics thing; more supply would equal less demand and vice versaXavi6 wrote:Avoid town like the plague, if only for the length of time it takes to get a taxi on the way home.

So do they think two or three lads on their own are lookin like loners, or they only think the same when its girls? Thinking about it, the best nights have been when a huge gang of us manages to get into the same club, tbh cant recall one that wasnt a belter, ought to try it more regularly.
I can imagine the difference actually. Two or three lads- we go in, get a rake of drink in, chat up whatever attractive birds are sitting beside wherever we sit our drinks down and, if it either doesnt go well or it looks like we are in for the score on the floor, we down a few more drinks get locked and, if the music is right, try our luck on the floor.
With two birds on their own i can see your point- they probably spend the entire time on the side of the floor chatting about watever yis talk about (girls only seem to dance if there are 4 of their mates on the floor with them). Pulling is impossible due to the "Im not gettin a taxi/sittin in the club on me own!" card being played. Even if Im with only one of the lads and he pulls first, pfft, its like a footie match where your one nil down and have to get the equaliser before final whistle, its competition Try Heaven out in Blanch or the Vortex in Dunshaughlin. Both absolute kips but I've not had a bad night in either somehow!
Aye id a few fookin mad ones in Heaven back on the day, parties afterwards, fallin into the gaff at 7am as the sun comes up on a beautiful summers day (that last description, very obviously, refers to summer 2005 or 2006, and obviously not the rake of piss that was summer 07, there were more better days between mid September and last week than the whole of that bastard summer) Believe it or not ive never made it to the Vortex despite several planned visits. Ive been told it reeks of sweat Hwever theres at least 3 birds i knew through college who are regulars (or were when i knew them anyway), been meaning to fly down and see if i can run into any.Danes are cool, met quite a few of them at this stage and such fond memories. I like doyles, I ran into a girl with Pale Fire in her purse, enough said. !
Yeah they were bang on, too bad they didnt bring some blonde unattatched Nordic yokes with them As said, i felt sorry that they had come to such a hole and probably spent a fair few bob on flights and accomadation so they could go drinking in an overpriced city where most places are shut before 3am. Wasnt the first time with the Danes, i vaguely recall a session in the Temple Bar pub with a few maybe 3 years back where, intending to wow her with my admiration of her glorious country, bored her to death with my knowledge of Denmarks Euro 1992 victory that only came about because the Yugoslavians were being rather nasty in Bosnia and got themselves thown out/boycotted It was about as nerdy in a sport way as trying to impress her with a detailed knowledge of the Danish resistance during WW II.
As for running into a gitl with "Pale Fire" in her purse, I googled it as i assumed Pale Fire was a strain of weed Nobody would believe my LC credentials mentioned in my sig now 0 -

I guess it's cause your expectations are so lowBelieve it or not ive never made it to the Vortex despite several planned visits. Ive been told it reeks of sweat Hwever theres at least 3 birds i knew through college who are regulars (or were when i knew them anyway), been meaning to fly down and see if i can run into any.
It's an experience my friend. I've been to the StickyFloortex quite a bit and it's worth the trek. It's like a whole new world out there!0 -

Good point. In Glasgow i went to a place called the Archaos nightclub. Fair enough, it was dirty, ugly and full of very dodgy looking scobies mad out of it on what are known as "eckies" in Glasgae, but christ what a ****ing spot. It was more like a really big old building that had some lights and floor put in. It wasnt at all aesthetically/architecturally amazing, but it must be the craziest place Ive been in, birds dressed like they are going to the beach and who, as soon as they realise your Irish by the accent, act like David Beckham/Brad Pitt/whatever famous dude birds flick the bean about these days/ has just walked in. You dont even have to try there, if you have an Irish accent you are like a celebrity. Gorgeous lookin yokes and all, I used to find the Scots accent really unattractive (seeing as i used to work customer service, and every Scottish female customer was incoherent and sounded like she weighed 24 stone). A weekend there and i think its the cutest accent around, fackhin lav itIt's an experience my friend. I've been to the StickyFloortex quite a bit and it's worth the trek. It's like a whole new world out there!
Im re- tempted to head
Tell me, are a large proportion of Aussie birds Neighbours standard (i.e. the only Aussie women we see here are the crackers in Neighbours. Is it somewhat representitive?) Was considering heading over in the new year for a few weeks, get a tan in mid winter and have a laugh generally.0 -
