    Where are all the old Bruxelles metal heads drinking now?

    I used be one of them. Indeed i do drink at home and at gigs and various other pubs but Bruxelles can do one.

    There was still a late 20's/early 30's contingent in Bruxelles up until a few years ago


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,168 ✭✭✭Grahamer666


    When they started dictating to the DJ's what they could and couldn't play and hiked the price of their disgusting pints that's when i called time on it. I started drinking there when i was a teenager and used love the place. (I'm in my mid forties now).

    Will the halcyon days of downstairs in Bruxelles ever be re-created?

    It left alright. After the redecoration a couple years ago. Jukebox was removed and resident DJ's departed.

    It was an insult to have Phil statue outside the door :(

    Haven't been in quite some time but saw various social media posts, GnR press conference, fans drinking with Disturbed etc and it being referred to as Dublins #1 rock bar either they want to try appease that tag or just bluffin'.


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,347 ✭✭✭✭Grayditch


    Hard to keep up with the thread sometimes. It's on, it's off, it never left etc.. :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,967 ✭✭✭Pyr0


    I've been twice in recent months and both nights being a friday and there was a metal DJ all night, took requests and played them pretty much straight away, it was deadly!


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,347 ✭✭✭✭Grayditch


    I know that practically all the bars and clubs are doing a Black Sabbath "aftershow" on Friday including Bruxies. The DJ on there that night is very friendly.

    Yer man just likes to be especially negative and dismissive of the place!


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,889 ✭✭✭evad_lhorg

    You mean The Pint? That's long gone.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,344 ✭✭✭Wrongway1985


    On the Rox,Bruxelles has odd nights now only I think


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,347 ✭✭✭✭Grayditch


    Lafayette's on D'Olier st has Thursday and Saturday rock/metal clubs. O'Reilly's is Saturday only and some speciality night, after shows etc.
    The Gypsy Rose isn't um... an option anymore.

    On The Rox is long gone too. :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,347 ✭✭✭✭Grayditch


    On The Rox still has a few planned gigs with DME and others, anyway. https://www.facebook.com/pg/On-The-Rox-1452952008340978/events/?ref=page_internal

    No club nights I don't think, though.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,140 ✭✭✭Passenger


    They still do the odd small gig but as far as it being a Rock Bar, that is long gone.

    Ah, oh well

    The Gypo is awful these days, I noticed they did up the basement in Fibbers recently or at least since I was last down there.

    Lafayette is grand even times its not a particular night as such kinda has indie/mainstream rock playing which is imo more tolerable than your run of the mill boozer. Cassidys only a stones throw away too.
