~Best place in Ireland to go out?~

Solarball10 · 01-07-2008 04:18PM #1

Right, me and a few of my girlfriends are planning a weekend away soon, and we need ideas on where to go! We're already from the BEST place to go out (Galway!

)...so where's the second best?

Steve_o · 01-07-2008 04:20PM

Muff, Co. Donegal....or Waterford City, both good spots!

Adam · 01-07-2008 04:20PM

Cavan.

But seriously, Galway is for the win. Stay there.

Holsten · 01-07-2008 04:23PM

Galway, then Dublin.

I'd say in Galway if I was you.

Run_to_da_hills · 01-07-2008 04:23PM

Clontibret in Monaghan, Its a Boom town, theres gold on the streets!!!

listermint · 01-07-2008 04:26PM

Kilkenny is pretty good. Go there.

That is all.

Thank you.

Solarball10 · 01-07-2008 04:28PM

People, PEOPLE! Place names on their own are no use....we need pub names, why it's a good spot, etc!

No more talk of Galway - we're sick of the place! :eek:

leninbenjamin · 01-07-2008 04:29PM

Galway's pretty sh*t tbh... lack of variety for those of us who live here.

CountingCrows · 01-07-2008 04:29PM

Sligo is full of hen parties recently.
If your staying West of the Shannon the Velvet room is probably the best nightclub around.

DonkeyStyle \o/ · 01-07-2008 04:29PM

go knacker drinking in Cork

Living in Dub at the mo, so to say that I'm sick of hen parties is a complete understatement!!

McMahons in Cavan Town so. Go on a Friday night, always a great band playing there! Even call to find out who's playing, and if you hear the names Blue Moose/Menace/J90/Glitterbugs/Royal Flush then BE THERE!

CountingCrows · 01-07-2008 04:33PM

Well if some of ye are in Dublin and some in Galway, Athlone sounds like the best bet. Couple of really cool pubs, makes a welcome change for the typical superpub in Dub/Gal

bill_ashmount · 01-07-2008 04:35PM

Dingle.

Great pubs, small so easy to get around and a disco that is stuck in the 70's which it is impossible to get refused entry from no matter how drunk you are.

Oh, also fungi.........

listermint · 01-07-2008 04:39PM

I changed my mind.

You can all come back to mine. i will provide dorito's and dips. May involve some dancing on your part

Sully · 01-07-2008 04:41PM

Waterford & Tramore.. good spots. Damit, aint you seen the ads?!?!

Dr Hfuhruhurr · 01-07-2008 04:42PM

come down to Athlone ladies. Great pubs.gerties browns, nuts corner and the oldest pub in the country Seans bar. also the lads have hugh balls

connundrum · 01-07-2008 04:43PM

We need to sticky this 'Best place in Ireland to go out'. It seems to be a weekly recurring theme at this stage.

Solarball10 · 01-07-2008 04:44PM

Listermint, as long you got cocktails, cheesy music, and a tolerance for very CRAP dancing we're there!!

I have a high tolerance for all stated. however i do not make cocktails im not tom cruise.:P Invite revoked:D

rossie1977 · 01-07-2008 05:02PM

athlone is a good spot on a saturday night, plenty of choice, the palace, prince, rayners, seans, gerties for bars and karma, bozos for the aul disca

sunday night the pubs next to the college ie charlie brown, blinkers and the scribes the college bar are usually packed.

its a very rough town though or at least it was when i lived there from 1999 to 2004

john street in waterford has loads of bars, clubs and chippers, in fact thats all there is on that street

Dr Hfuhruhurr · 01-07-2008 05:16PM

athlone is a bit rough all right...some girls i know get their hair cut in tool hire !!

chickenhawk · 01-07-2008 05:18PM

Velvet Rooms in Sligo is a good place.

JP Liz · 01-07-2008 05:22PM

Galway

Killarney

Killkenny

Dublin

Tinytony · 01-07-2008 05:22PM

Limerick is a very good spot for a once off night out. Has developed a kind of temple bar area down by the market with 3 huge clubs and 5 or 6 late disco bars all within a few hundred yards of each other.

And don't believe everything you read in the paper, there's very rarely ever trouble in around the city centre. I've spent years living in Dublin and Limerick and I can tell you which O'Connell Street I'd feel safer walking down at 3 am.

biko · 01-07-2008 05:26PM

Start off in www.crownbar.com
Then head south to www.thebelfastempire.com
Another few in www.laverysbelfast.com
If you still can walk go to www.thestiffkitten.com

chickenhawk · 01-07-2008 05:30PM

Actually Biko is right. Go to Belfast it's better than all the rest.

+1, stayed in limerick for a weekend a few months back, we walked to and from our hotel in punchs cross without as much as a whisper from the locals, saw a girl on o'connell street get really sick but thats as much "unsocial behaviour" i saw that wkend.

limerick is a decent spot, some good pubs and clubs, sunday night is a bit quiet (quieter than galway, dublin and waterford anyway)

D-A-V-E · 01-07-2008 06:53PM

id deffinately reccomend stopping over in Limerick if you havent stayed here before, temple bar type area down by the pedestrianised streets and market, handfull of clubs include Icon nightclub, the famous trinityrooms (www.trinityrooms.ie) and the brand spanking new club (angel lane), or dolans warehouse and bakers place if you like the live gigs. redeculious amount of shopping centres to choose from too..to name a few ennis road retail park, jetland shopping centre, arthurs quay chopping centre, parkway shopping centre, parkway retail park, childers road retail park, cresent shopping centre, city east retail park, eastway retail park, delta retail park, etc etc! enjoy!

Deliverance XXV · 01-07-2008 08:21PM

Kilkenny is a good spot if you are coming down for weekends etc.
It can be riddled with hens and stags though.

I'd recommend Galway, Dublin or Waterford for good sessions.
