    Will all the pubs and clubs be open in town on Friday?

    Don't think so! I think some late bars might open but would anyone be bothered?

    So you're going up north to the pub on the ONE day of the year (excluding Christmas obviously) the pubs are closed? :confused:

    Can you not think of something to do? Really?!

    There will be the usual places to get a drink if you're gagging for a drink on Friday, CG. Hotel residents bars, trains, theatres and private clubs. There are sometimes places that do events where they open at midnight although I haven't heard of any this year. All a bit sad really.

    Is it illegal to drink on good friday, or is it illegal to buy/be sold drink on good friday?
    Would you get extra screwed over if you were caught drinking in a public place?

    I'm far from religious. I don't agree with the pubs being closed. That said, I'll survive for one day. ;)

    Cinemas make a packet on Good Friday.

    I hear Cineworld in Dublin is actually showing The Long Good Friday too, just for the laugh.

    Someone should make a short film of the same name about the lack of access to drink in ireland on good friday.
    pm me for the address to send the royalty cheques

    It's curious how while drink drug dealers are forced to close on Good Friday the religious drug dealers, which make a fortune in their collections on the day, are allowed to remain open. These are the same groups who have been, mind you, so opposed to other businesses opening on a Sunday (when they are also raking in the money).
