    No, that's another AH thread. Keep going, you'll find the Dublin forum eventually.

    Ah but coppers thread could pass a After Hours thread especially since its frequented mostly by country folk either living in Dublin or up visiting, along with the Dubs who go there. So the majority of people will know of coppers.

    Ive been there a few times and havnt scored but im not the type of person to actively search for somebody to chew the face off. One time i went there and watched boxing all night. I dont think the place is designed for me but i do enjoy a good perve. I prefer the mid week nights.

    I've never got the extreme like or dislike of Coppers. It's like any other busy nightclub really. There's a lot of snobbishness and reverse snobbishness in action in any discussion of Coppers. This sort of shíte is a good example:

    Eh, no. It's a load of red-faced cops and fat nurses from Leitrim lurching around to crap tunes looking for the "shcore". Worst gaff ever.

    There are obviously large amounts of people from Dublin in there. It is one of the biggest nightclubs for the student population in Dublin.

    I don't really like nightclubs, but I'd much rather go there than Diceys or Krystle. Although at the end of the day, it all depends on where your friends want to go and I'm getting to the age where I'm past the age group Coppers is for. But If I were an undergrad again, sure I'd go there every so often.

    I like Coppers. Have only been there half a dozen times but it was good craic every time- and I was driving one night I was there so whilst it's not as enjoyable sober, it was still grand. Most nightclubs are hard work when sober anyway.

    Around that neck of the woods, I'd rather go to Coppers than Krystle or even D2. Yeah it can be a bit nuts (and I cut my finger on glass there once), but it is what it is and it's not the worst. It's not pretentious and most people will chat away to you there.

    Actually haven't even been there whilst single but I still would have had my choice of a few lads who were willing to lob the gob. And believe me, I'm not the type that normally happens to- so yeah, Coppers is a good place to go to meet someone... just probably not someone you'll end up with for longer than that night.

    Yes, I have scored there. It was fun for both of us and neither of us were left complaining. The drink was cold, the music loud and danceable and there is a lack of pretension about the place.

    Would I become a regular? No. Do I like heading back once in a blue moon for what I know will be a good night out if I make it work for myself? Fúck yeh.

    been going there for years... weekly, no doubt a string of fatherless kids wandering bout the country... and I accredit it all to Copper Face Jacks, birth place if the '10 to 2, you'll do' and ' 10 to 4, your some whore' catch phrases.

    I spent my UCD days in Copper's, spent countless weekends there since and the amount of crap that gets talked about the place is unbelievable. Yes, people are drunk, yes the music is loud and obnoxious and yes people end up scoring during and after the course of the night.

    But so what!? It's the weekend and it's a nightclub -people don't go out to spend their evening knitting in a corner. If you want quiet conversation, go to some pub founded in 1916 or stay at home.

    The reason my friends and I still go to Copper's is partly a throwback to our college days but also because the boisterous craic that takes place is all part of the charm. There are far too many places where the too-cool-for-school stand looking aloof into their pints and Coppers is a welcome relief from that kind of pretentiousness

    Yes, been there once and got "the score" that one time from a gentleman from Meath, predictably.

    Its the only nightclub I've ever actually liked. Grrat craic on a Championship Sunday. The amount of sh*t I talked over the years in the smoking area upstairs is phenomenal. Great spot.

    Can't stand the place myself. If they'd only make some rules about keeping some kind of pathway open so you could actually get from room to room without some eejit bumping into you and spilling your drink, it would be great.

    But seriously, how can anyone really have fun when it's SO packed? You can't move! It's impossible to get around in there without wrestling half the crowd first.

    The one time i went there i got chatted up at the urinal and had a fat girl grind against me not noticing my visible disgust. Also it cost a fortune and and the bouncer was a kyunt, needless to say not going back.:p

    Not a bad place in my opinion

    I was there after a works do and a chunky little bint with a fat arse and a fairly solid rack took a fancy.

    Apparently from Westmeath, but despite the fact I was not too interested she
    persisted and we ended up in her place in the Wintergardens or something there in Pearse.

    Mad for the baton she was, didn't need much strumming before she got the slop on and in fairness took everything I could offer in her stride.
    Heavily thatched around the clunger.

    Went home with me bell in flitters and in fairness never developed a crust or a bloom,so it was a clean night.

    Think she was a garda based in a city centre station, but never saw her again.

    The difference between being drunk and sober is that when you're sober it takes ages to get anywhere and drunk you can stroll around in dense crowds like it's an empty room, so really, Copper's is doing you a favour by letting you know how drunk you are. All part of the service!

    Good spot when you go there underno illusion about how you want your night. Tis a place for drinkin and scorin and nothing fancy.

    Was mistaken for a Clare hurler in there before so I gave her some timber

    Oh and if the bouncers decide you're not coming in, just toddle off to Krystle or something -do not stage a public protest to entertain the entire queue, like the very drunk D4 head who screamed 'Man I could focking BUY YOU!!' at the bouncer while 100 people cringed for him :)

    Have been on several occasions and the only issue i'd have with the place is its absolutely jam packed to the titties.

    Everyone in the place is there for the craic and don't take anything too seriously which is the main thing.

    I find you can have a chat to a girl without her looking at you like you have a head on you like the elephant man and a joke with the lads without one of them looking like he's going to smash a glass off your face.

    If the bouncers say no, f*ck off someone else though. Your not getting in. Its never happened to me, but I've seen them question mainly lads the most random of questions at the door and then not letting them in. The only similarities it shares with most other bars and night clubs around the country is that in typical fashion, the bouncers are bell ends.

    Um, what?! :confused:
    If you're questioning whether that happened or not, it really makes no difference to me. Lots of people found it hilarious at the time so I thought people here might find it funny too -location situation maybe! :)
