    Fibber's Pint and Pizza for a tenner deal is great.They are frozen pizzas, but they're actually real nice. Their Guinness is great too.

    Couldn't disagree more. As a fervent stout/porter drinker, it's sewer water tbh.

    The Thomas House are doing a haircut and beer for €15 on Saturdays which is also a great deal. Their Guinness is one of the best in Dublin.

    For 25 bricks you could be sheared, fed and watered on Saturday. Not bad ;)

    Aye, something different I suppose. They have plenty of craft brews there too.

    Maybe I've just had so many bad Guinness's that Fibbers seems grand to me. Still nowhere near on par to TH Guinness. Although they sometimes do Shepherd Name double stout in bottles which would make me forget our very own black stuff in an instant.

    Was in Dublin last week for the Prong Gig in the Voodoo lounge.1st time there only issue was actually finding the entrance lol.Prong were brillant. We had a few pints in Gypsy Rose beforehand again a 1st the barman there was sound out.The following night i dragged herself to a gig in downstairs Fibber Magees
    she had a Coors which was rotten i had a Guinness no problem there went to change the Coors pint was accused of looking for a free pint the young lad behind the bar said he was afraid of losing his job.The pint was changed eventually.The Music which i went to hear was very good by the way.Overall a highly enjoyable 2 nights in rock bars and gigs in Dublin.

    Not sure if this is in the right thread or not but can anyone advise where to go for pre-gig pints in Belfast on Friday evening before/after Carcass in the Limelight? Preferably near enough as I don't know Belfast and will be on my own.

    The Voodoo or Laverys should do; Both bout just over 10 mins walk to the Limelight from different directions.

    Great selection of beer and decent music during the day, but I've no idea what the busy weekends are like.

    Nice place, certainly wouldn't consider it a rock & metal bar though. The metalist thing Ive ever heard them playing was Rage Against the Machine.

    The heat in the place is also outrageous, its like a sauna when its even a little bit full and gets very uncomfortable.

    Fibbers wouldn't be particularly busy on a Sunday. There might be a few heads around after the gig given it's proximity to The Academy however.

    Temple Bar or Camden St./Wexford St. areas should have plenty of bars with something happening of some description though not much Rock/Metal related. If you like your beers try a craft brew bar.

    Seen a post from publin.ie on Twitter earlier saying that the rock bar in bruxelles is gone, it's been revamped to look more like the rest of the pub. I'll link to it later when I get a chance, there was a couple of pics of it too.

    Been like that since the summer, it's going by the moniker Flanders Rock Bar now.

    I blame craft beer, it's popular with the hipster set and the bar is now chock full of it.
