Why isn't any club open at 4 in the morning?

Fuck sake I'm in the mood for drinking and going out and I'm on the last of a few too many little Heinekens and it's not doing the job well enough!

If no place is open should we organise a boards rave to sort everything out?

What I like about mainland europe especially Brussels or Berlin is that it caters for folk who'd like a few quiet, civilized beers at whatever time of the night.

What about grown up people who can handle their ale, don't want to binge drink or gyrate around a nightclub listening to chart dross ? Why do we all have to go home or go to bed when we're told?

Because those eejits you've mentioned are the reason nobody else can have nice things.

It's Ireland. If the pubs/nightclubs close at 4am, everyone will leave at 4am. Your not going to have people suddenly becoming sensible and leaving 2hrs before closing

Yeah, very annoying. A few years ago places were open later, till that very annoying new rule that we all had to go home once the clock struck 2.30 and off licences had to close at 10pm came in. I remember there was always somewhere else to go for a drink and a dance - and then it all changed. I was complaining to my dad about the ridiculous new 'rules' and he told me that when he was a youngster dancing wasn't allowed on a Sunday. Hard to believe today's restrictions would be wild freedom back in my dad's day.

Ha those late places still stay open until 4am (or 3:30 anyhow)

The sad thing is alcohol consumption would probably be far more if it was as available in Ireland as it is here in London for e.g. Let's face it we're a nation of p*ss heads. There are 24hr booze shops within meters of my house and bars that open till all hours at the weekends. You really do drink more if you're a booze hound like me with all these temptations, and I've had to try really hard these days to knock it on the head.
I still disagree with the Irish laws on principle though.

Indeed... Some people may want it but Irish people cannot handle it.

And the rest of us have to put up with the noise and dirt.

there's a club in Belfast that opens at 2 of closes at 6. They can only serve water though which is why its been nicknamed the comedown club. . .

gobnaitolunacy

Because we can't handle it as a nation.

The ppl on the continent can behave themselves but here it would be A & E mayhem/streets flowing with puke (more so) and stomach pumps all round.

In Derry bar closes at half 1 and kick out is at two, ye love going out in letterkenny because its open till 3!

Barna77

If this is the Eu and Brussels/Berlin are telling us what to do, I say bring on European opening hours, clubs open to early hours. Ah I miss those days of drunk people mixing with commuters at 8am....

Well, you still get that here :rolleyes:

I guess it's a utilitarian approach. There are many nights it's gotten to 2am and I've only been out for two or three hours and am raring to go. I'd love to have an all night place open then. There's also nights it's gotten to 2am, I've been out seven hours and am raring to go. It's a good thing there's no where to go then.

Although the times I have been looking for somewhere to continue the night I've had a fairly good time in a 24 hour cafe.

Ever consider going out earlier.

I've already been taken up the Grand Canyon once today, that's plenty thank you very much. Here's a pic if you don't believe me

24hr bars or off licenses work over seas.
It's the mind set of people that use and abuse it need to change.
Not sure how Ireland would take it, prob a drunken mess for a few months or years, then it would settle.

Where To

If there was no closing time I'd never get a woman, I have to rely on my cunning and wit to woo maidens, and the best time to do that is after the pubs have closed.

I always forget about this rule when I go back to Ireland.

I usually just go to the pub for a bit and then go to peoples' houses when I'm back home. Ireland really needs to loosen up on some of the rules.

The people in charge know what is best for us.

Good question. Why isn't there?
In fact, why can't I buy alcohol when I want? Be it at 7.30am or 4.30am? Be it in a supermarket or pub? I'm an adult man. I have the right to choose when to drink.

It would seem the government knows whats best for me and everyone else in Ireland ... "Don't drink before 10am!" - But then drink as much as you want :rolleyes: Can't help but think of the word "freedom" with this..

Good question, good question.

I'm out of Heineken but I've found a few cans of Carlsberg . It may be piss, but at least there's alcohol in it! :pac:
