I'd love to find a cork bar like fionnbarra's but with a rock/metal vibe.
Can any corkonians help?
Nope, the first post is more or less right for Cork. Freds isn't a bad place, might seem a bit uninviting at first but it is a relaxed place and you should have no problems in there. An Cruiscin Lan is very similar to Freds, usually putting on death metal gigs more than once a month and then various other types of music, metal and not, at different times. thb, I don't really like the place and would prefer Freds.
Iggy Rocks on South Main Street might also be worth a look. I'm pretty sure that is a rock venue, but I've only been there once and didn't really like it.
If you are looking for a club, Freakscene might be your best bet. They play a couple of mainstream rock tunes, but it is mostly an alternitive music venue.
So, Freds looks like the best of a limited bunch down here.
Actually, Malice, is there any chance that you could remove The Quad from the original list since it is sadly no longer with us.

Well happily I have long since moved back to Galway so I am relying on others to keep me up to date with venue details.120_Minutes wrote: »I know the OP is 2 years old, but are the cork listings up to date?
That's a pity. I gave up on Freds once they converted most of the downstairs part to a smoking area and The Quad swiftly became my favourite. I spent many happy nights watching all sorts of bands in there.Knifey Spoony wrote: »Actually, Malice, is there any chance that you could remove The Quad from the original list since it is sadly no longer with us.
I'll update the first post now.0 -

Cork wasn't that bad now was it?

I'm really pissed that it closed. It really was a great in supporting the local music scene in Cork and beyond and not just rock and metal. There seems to be no one else picking up from where they left off, which is a real shame. Plus, they are turning it into an overflow pub for the trendy night club above it. :mad:
The smoking area in Freds is a bit of a balls alright. The place is small enough already without sealing off one area for a small number of people.0 -

No, you're right. In fairness I enjoyed a lot of things about Cork.Knifey Spoony wrote: »Cork wasn't that bad now was it?0 -

I have walked into Sallys a few times in recent months and walked straight out again. Between skangers on the pool table, the stink of piss from the toilets and the DJ playing some charty pop horseshit presumably in an attempt to get a crowd in it has really lost its way.Been meaning to try Sally Long's in Galway.
Having said that, some other recent nights there have been great. A decent DJ or better yet no DJ so the jukebox can be unleashed and enough people to drown out the skangers and cover the smell from the toilets - sorted
.Copious quantities of alcohol may also help!
Neither had I until a few months ago. It used to be called The Stage Door but it's changed hands and the new owners seem to be making a conscious effort to get a live music scene going which I can only applaud them for.Denny M wrote:never been inside Muddy Maher's either.0 -

Happy new year, friends!
Anyone been to Venice? I'm going to visit this beautiful place in spring and I couldn't find any metal or rock bars on the metal guide homepage.
Not that I wouldn't survive a weekend without drinking some cheap beer in a dark scruffy pub but I thought it would be fun to take drop by.0 -

It's probably the best of the Rock Bars in Dublin imo. Does be quite busy most weekends anyway and once you can shout over the volume of the music it's decent enough.
Sweet the last few times I was there, the dj's tended to be very self indulgent, playing really obscure stuff, hope this has changed! 0
