How is it going to make money?

The door charge wont cover it.

Non drinkers drink sweet feck all low/non alcoholic drinks

Place will go under unless it serves decent food early to try claw some money back.

The bouncers only let in their own drug dealers and the owners charge them a cut for the arrangement?

Ye know, the same way the rest of the clubs do it...

Clearly you've never bought a coke in a pub. Massive markup and only a small amount goes to the taxman. Add in the reduced cost of security staff and cleaning bills and you have profit.

Nobody will have the courage to talk to someone they don't already know

Tehachapi · 07-07-2011 08:01PM

They should open something like this in Ardoyne.

Dry shites me hole. Bit of a sad attitude that anyone who's not a drinker is a dry shite, tbh.

Toiltets will probably be worse than an ordinary nightclub,...even more drinking and drug-taking goin on.

What I'd prefer to see is a place that stays open late and does food, coffee, ice-cream and has a bar for a universally enjoyable night out. Its very popular in southern Italy and I'd love the option in Dublin. I like a few drinks, but I'd also like a burger or pasta, a seat and a table, a coffee at the end of it and an opportunity to talk to the nice girls without having cotton eye joe roaring in my ear (lots of time in culchy dishcos). I'd also like to stay out as late as I want, smoking outside at a table sobering up while I'm still having craic.

Yeah but they've the weather for it, any time I'm abroad, the main thing I notice is people drink, eat and socialise outdoors, with good food.

This fúcking country never stops raining to the point that RTE/weather now uses the "mixed bag" for there forcast these days, try to plan around that..:pac:

Not going to happen, our drinking style is geared around getting hammered early to cheapen the night. Drink prices are too high due to government and club owner greed and also the shaming lobby groups like meas and the Legion of Mary (they're like a Roman legion only with rosary beads instead of swords) making the government curtail promotions, advertising and raise duty. If the bars and clubs have later opening hours a lot of people are not going to have the drinking stamina for a night out.

Go to Kilorglin for puck fair next month where the pubs barely close over the few days and you'll see what I mean.

Only if it's trance or techno, NO raver would go to a normal night club and do pills to have the worst come down ever......that's why there would be fcuk all at a stupid non alcoholic "disco".

It's basically a nightclub for vegetarians.

I get where you're coming from, it's a bit like going to a brothel for a hug. Always worth a visit once though.

Eve_Dublin · 07-07-2011 08:44PM

There'll be no canoodling in corners of THAT discotheque! No sirrrr.

Imagine a night cub for vegans ,they can't eat anything that cast's a shadow.:pac:

zuroph · 07-07-2011 08:46PM

Can you imagine the war the first time an English stag accidentally ends up in there?!!

craggles · 07-07-2011 08:47PM

Any teetotaller who isn't a dry ****e will go to a normal pub or club and still have a fair bit of craic so long as they have mates who aren't cunts.

Therefore, place will be 50% dry ****es, 50% people who are pilled out of it.

mikom · 07-07-2011 08:52PM

Alcohol Free Nightclub......... can't wait to go to this.
Then after, a visit to the orange light district to get myself a hugger.

tolosenc · 07-07-2011 08:58PM

Most of the replies here are so typically Irish. Whenever I go out and don't drink, I get asked why, the look of horror/confusion on people's faces is palpable when I say that I just don't want to. As long as this place doesn't fill up with pill heads, it could be good fun, and can stay open as late as it likes!

Ally Dick · 07-07-2011 09:02PM

Does alcohol free mean that the place will be drug free as well ? :eek:

80+ replies with maybe two calling teatotallers dry shites but you go ahead and see what you want to see.

Dravokivich · 07-07-2011 09:33PM

Hmmm as they wouldn't be selling alcohol, would would their door policy be with regards to ages?

The Vegiclub
A club thats famous for its corn on the cob.

So if theres no alcohol can there be no age restrictions into the club? coz like if thats were all the underage girls go....you've got yourself a pretty bangin nightclub right there!
