As geeky as this may be, after playing masseffect 2 I'd love to see a futuristic themed night club complete with ambient futuristic sounding techno playing, **** it it'd be something a little different no?

i never did that. Especially not in Tombraider. And i definitely didn't have lara Croft floating in water, swivelling the camera angle to & fro desperately looking for the money shot.

Chicks that put out on the first date. Chicks that swallow. Chicks that are happy for you to gobble their bits all night.
That would be a start.

Ever work in a busy bar/nightclub??

ColeTrain · 10-10-2010 12:26PM

The whole night club culture needs to be overhauled. No gimmicks as such but simple changes.

Turn the lights up a little bit, turn down the shi* music ( or change it up , fk popular music ) and lower the price of drink.

The way it is now, the only way you can converse with a cailín is either by going to a overcrowed smoking area or acting like a knob on the dancefloor, dancing to shi* music and looking like a complete spanner in the process. Also, there is nothing to do but 'laps' around the place, as you can't make conversation. It's a obvious ploy by the nightclubs to keep you at the bar drinking, as you'd rather get drunk as funk than standing around staring into space.

No coincidence either that the best part of ones night is back at a house before the club, having a few drinks with mates and getting the choose good music while engaging in conversation, something that's hard to do on a night out.

The whole thing isn't helped either by the amount of idiots that frequent night clubs but that's a different debate on society as a whole :cool:

Yep pretty much thats all they play and they even repeat them over again:p, Music for the skangers you mean.

Wasn't even talking about music for skangers although yeah granted, a lot of music they play is music for skangers too. Talking more about music that you already hear on the popular radio programs day in day out. The likes of music that girls growing up who listened to Westlife, backstreet boys, Celiene Dion et al would typically listen to now....pop music for want of a better word.

Can't stand going to places that don't play Rock and Metal

OK, different strokes for different folks but Rock and Metal is not my thing. I do take your point though that there should certainly be late bars and niteclubs that cater for your taste also as Rock/ Metal has a big following. I on the other hand am more into trance and even a wee bit of tasteful house and know there are plenty of people who generally share my taste in music, suppose it was what you might consider to be the type of music a niteclub should play too maybe. Think we'll both agree that there are far too many joints continuiously pumping out the repetitive commercial music for the masses sh!te though.

blow69 · 10-10-2010 01:24PM

The music needs to be turned down and/or changed. I mean, who actually enjoys music at that level on a night out? Surely most DJs out there are tired of playing the same crap, and I bet that's not the kind of music they want to play.

The smoking area should be a third the size of the club with a decent-sized bar inside and with sufficient temperature and ventilation. It's sad to say, but this is where the best times can be had. You can actually hear what people are saying and everybody is having a good time.

A different kind of layout or blueprint of the floor plan with cool (quirky even, but not gimmicky) features.

Drinks promotions every night e.g €3 vodkas. And they should get those showerhead type soft drinks dispensers. Stop charging €2+ extra for the 200ml bottle you throw at me and expect me to mix the drink myself. It's actually unbelievable how common this is in Irish clubs. In other countries they mix the drink for you and put in a little straw and maybe even a piece of fruit. i know, crazy right?

Is that too hard to ask for? I think not.

I would love to open my own club..

*adele* · 10-10-2010 01:26PM

Market research much?

Rabies · 10-10-2010 01:42PM

The loud music and over priced drinks are generally in venues that play house, electro, trance etc. A good majority of the people that go to those types of place are 18-24, some are social drug user, students and lower income. The drink prices need to be a little higher to recoup some of the cost. Dropping the price doesn't always necessarily encourage drinkers, its about the music. These people prefer loud music.

24yrs plus a usually employed, can afford a drink, but like the odd special here and there. Not much drug use, so alcohol is their vice. Drink more, like normal pub music (pop/rock/alternative) and like to chat and drink more than dance. There are very few pubs that cater for this in Ireland properly due to the early pub closing times.

Bars need to capitalise more on the early 9pm-1am Irish market to make money. Its there.

Rabies I feel that them comments are actually very unfair and factually incorrect. There is no doubt in my mind that a fair share of those who frequent the niteclubs who belt out the pop music crap are also social drug users and not necessairly are on higher incomes even generally.

I actually take issue with them comments too. I'm 29 (probably a bit old for the whole niteclub thing really) and can well afford a drink and the odd special here and there. Thats not to say I like the idea of paying €5.30 for a bloody bottle of Smirnoff Ice either though in a niteclub (as I did recently when getting a round in). I actually tend not to buy drink in a niteclub if possible due to the extortionate prices. Might justify it if there was no charge at the door but to be charged €15 entry and then squashed in like sardines. It actually wrecks my head to hear the likes of that under my umberella, fat man scoops in the house, in the house etc in a niteclub no matter what the volume. Like this is the type of crap you will hear any day of the week on 2fm, today fm etc so how is that meant to be special? Think I might be a bit at odds with you over what normal pub music is. Also think its fair to say that niteclubs are not the place to chat regardless of the type of music or volume. Maybe they probably were at one stage but don't think they are the correct social setting for chatting to people to anymore. You may say thats just me but I feel there are a fair band of people out there who are on the same wavelength as me all the same

I wish more 18-24 year olds were into house and electro

I swear in the so called "popular" clubs for this age group they just play Now 75 on shuffle..

Music needs to be mixed up majorly. Should be more themed nights, so people can go to what they enjoy. On saturdays, there should be a decent mix and not just the ****ing top 10.. Drinks well obviosuly they are ridiculous. I honestly would much rather pacing myself and spacing my drinks throughout the night, but instead I generally get plastered before I leave the house because I don't want to cough up a fiver for a long neck..

I also prefer the Spanish system where clubs don't open until 2 and don't close until about 7, this gets more people leaving at different times and stops the "Abra Kedabra/Supermacs" rush at 2:30, but it probably wouldn't suit Irish culture. (can't imagine what state people would be going into a club at 2)

eatchicken · 10-10-2010 04:52PM

I'd like a night club where the women outnumber the men. I swear that there is too much testosterone with the odd woman here and there in a typical club especially true of Fitzsimons.

I know they're only trying to make a few bob, and we're really good friends with one of the guys in a club here, but most of them are just plain rude/annoying when they expect you to give them money because they gave you a bit of loo roll. I'd like to go for a piss without having to feel guilty every time I ignore the human bog roll dispenser.

This^

I never feel motivated to go 'clubbing' and what pisses me off is the presumed stigma attached "If you don't go clubbing you have no life" etc.

WTF like. I don't like dancing, I don't like **** music, I'm not the kinda guy that enjoys getting shit faced then sexually harass random women , I don't wanna have to drop pills to enjoy myself and I fucking want to be able to actually have an conversation with my mates if I have to spend so much money to get drunk.

Bollocks, I mean eye candy is great and all but thats the only postive with so many other negitives , house sessions are just far more enjoyable.

Can't understand people who say that's 'weird'

I work in the industry and know how the market works. Have managed clubs (house, electro,DnB, Dubstep, Fidget, trance), disco bars (commercial house, top 40 and commercial electro) and also have managed bars and restaurants(retro, rock, pop, alternative). I have covered the spectrum of ages, know crowd, spending habit etc.
My earlier statement isn't covering everyone, but does cover most. Next time you're out in a proper club, take a good sober look around and come back to me.

Ireland needs later closing or staged times. it reduces queues for taxis, less street fights and slows the rate of drinking. But the side effect is you think about drinking longer.

in other countries the customer doesnt mind about waiting the extra couple seconds for barmen to do this! in ireland, the customers start shouting that the barman is taking too long and just wants to get served as quick as possible, imagine if everyone was mixing everyone in a nightclubs drinks, the customers would be going ape **** where as in countries they would not be and would relax when they are out.

and the piece of fruit, well every barman worth his salt will put a slice of lemon into a vodka and tonic or gin and tonic because any barman worth his salt would ask the customer on ordering these drinks if they want one in it, its a natural addative to these drinks.

OK Rabies I'm not sure if we would agree on what a proper club is in the first instance but also not sure if there is a common definition either. I think we would probably agree that there aren't too many of them if any in Republic of Ireland. I seldom be abroad so don't think I'll be in a proper niteclub any time soon. Not exactly sure what I'm meant to be looking out for either mind you. Assuming you are suggesting that a club playing a particular gerne of music attracts a particular type of clientelle perhaps maybe. But having said that though I don't think you are any more likely to get more social drug users in a niteclub playing proper trance and house music than one playing commercial tripe, less if any maybe. Ireland is probably not a good country to draw comparisons from as practically all clubs seem to cater for the masses and not a particular group or category. Suppose many of the smaller towns have only one real niteclub too or at least only one obvious choice where everybody flocks to after the pubs close so guess this is bound to be the case.

Lukker I think you made some very valid points in your post.
