Pubs for quiet people?

Shtanto

Greetings Boardsies,

Is there any such thing as a pub that's basically a library? No noisy TV, implausibly massive audio system, 100^16" TV screen (see what I did there?), plenty books, and an affordable pint? And there'd be the odd night in the week when they'd play prog rock. The kind of pub you'd find riddled with civil servants on the prowl for like minded civil servants/people.

Any such thing? Do I have to open the place for myself? Or would it simply be quicker to pop a few sleeping pills and dream of it? :pac:

I work in a pub like that.

Neary's on Clarendon Street is a nice and quiet bar. There's no music played as far as I can remember.

I know a great bar, no loud music, loads of laid back chatty hot women, ratio female to male has gotta 2 to 1, drink is cheap, surrounds are warm and comfortable, lively atmosphere, friendly staff, comfortable couches and chairs around big tables that small groups are happy to share a drink and a chat over. hidden in plain view in the heart of Dublin city. The place is heaven and I plan on keeping it that way by not telling AH where it is.

Reveal this Mecca God Dammit! You can't tease us like this.

Ive just had pints and now started listening to Cygnus X-1....they would work a dream together. All that is needed would be some fine ales.

Im only 23 and want that type of night...blissful.

In Cork City centre there's a bar like a big living room in the Victoria Hotel .

Think thats closed about 5 years.

I can understand the OP though. Went to my local tonight and there was a 21st on with close on about 200 people in a pub that should only have 50 in it. To make matters worse the partys oul ones were trying to walk through the crowd carrying trays of ham sandwiches that nobody wants.

So few cans of bulmers at home instead.

All helpful suggestions there. Based on what I'm reading, it sounds like I ought to be in a hotel type setting of some sort. There are a lot of old man pubs nearby too.

In Cork City centre there's a bar like a big living room in the Victoria Hotel - I/we used to go there to get away from the bangin' music and pretentiousness - sometimes I'd go by myself after ghosting*

*ghosting is when you don't tell anyone and just head off.

You are looking for an old mans pub

There is one in every town in Ireland

Where are you OP?

Most small country towns will have at least one "auld fella" pub where there's no distractions and hard drinking and good banter and debate is encouraged. I love these places.

Aul' man pubs are brilliant!

We used to head to a place that was buzzing between 9 and 11 then people moved on to clubs and it was nice and relaxed. That's what you want sometimes.

Like a library most nights and plays prog. rock the odd night....mmm.. now why isn't there somewhere like this....

Muddy Maher's in Woodquay might have suited you, OP. It was a lovely spot.
Unfortunately they closed down due to the lack of business.

Theres a name for a pub like that with no craic and no atmosphere-
Bankrupt

Toby Take a Bow

Well, there is the library bar.

It fits your description nearly perfectly, bar the prog rock, but to be honest, the prog rock bit sounds horrible.

Have you considered heroin?

I hope you haven't because that would be wrong

Get a few cans and stay at home.
