Faverite Bars, Nightclubs...

DJ Flick 2001 · 18-05-2001 2:03pm #1

I was just thinking there to myself and just wondering what are the best bars or nightclubs to go out to...

so which one's are the best???

Bard · 18-05-2001 2:16pm

As long as it's not full of underage bud/cider swilling kiddies making total twats of themselves, I've no particular preference, although I would recommend "An Síbín" (O'Connell Street, Limerick) and "O'Donoghue's Irish Bar" (Hersonnisos, Crete).

The Bleeding Horse (Dublin) is quite nice too, and the beer in the Porterhouse (Dublin) is great and doesn't give you a hangover.

No mention of any Cork pubs??

I don't blame you, few pubs up here are anything more than watering-holes. The only difference bieng whether they fit into under-age, student, or misc. category.

That said, the UCC college pubs are quite nice, but don't touch the stuff they brew on campus, its so bad, that when you order one, the bartender waits until you've taken a sip to ask you whether you want to exchange it (no joke)

you can't be serious can you??

The place gets fumeagated (spelling???) once a month. Its an under-age heaven, the music is chart-only, the drink is overcharged, and it has no athmosphere of note.

Then again I got dragged in there too often, against my will, by mates, so maybe I'm just biased

Question Boddah:
Do you prefer The High Stool to what Quinns used to be like? (same owners, same crowd an all.)

Schwarzfahren · 18-05-2001 3:56pm

Best club in cork = Savoy, gan flippin' amhras! Henry's a close second ( for the music midweek )
I agree with nesf. But when you are out with 10 o' your friends, it's always where you end up.
The Roundy is a class pub, despite the rumours of it being a gay bar ( who gives a $hit? ) Bodega is one of my favs. also.

Bruxelles - Dublin.
Fred Zeppelin's - Cork.
Mc Garrigles - Sligo.
Valhalla (Fibber's) - Dublin.

But oh, no tears please, fear and pain may acompany death, but it is desire that sheperds its certainty, as we shall see...

well maybe i'm judging the place prematurely, i've only been there once as i go to uni in limerick (on a thursday night) but i got good impressions of the place...music very much to my taste...but maybe a regular knows better

Its not an "official" gay bar or anything. I like it 'cos it's gota well dressed up crowd, excellent djs, nice decor, lots of classy chicks. The people who call it "gay" are those among us whose attire for a night out consists of a celtic jersy, blue jeans and orange runners and a knacker 'tash. The other option if you get sick of the "posers" in trendy pubs such as this is to pay a visit to the well know crehes of "Tavern" or "The Maltings" and meet your younger brothers friends on a underage drinking spree. I'd like to hear what people have to say about less sterotypical Cork student pubs...

why does everyone make posts about the "best somewhont or other"? as if they can't find out themselves or have to repy on other people's opinions.

If i was a moderator, i'd lock these topics from post 1.

even though i posed one of these threads in the past i have to agree with you. it is getting fu<king ridiculous, people asking what your favourite bar, drink, scene from a film, band, guitarist, living guitarist, author. ffs.

Try not to become a regular, its a nasty experience.

I forgot the savoy, nice but can be strict about sobriety at times. The oval is good, as in it has a direct link to a brewery, so the pints are top notch, the bad news is that the brewery is Beamish and Crawford

Did I hear someone mention Dutch Gold, my student type cheap drink senses are on full alert

Horrible swill though, give me southy or a nice jd any day

omg your joking right? although i hope to god its changed in the last 5 years since ive been in there, dire kip full of scanky 14/15yr old women was my impression.

K,

Even though I live in Salthill, keep the hell away from here (unless your 12 or ready to start a complicated relationship), and go in to town.

Town::Pubs
----
McSwiggans
The Kings Head
The Skeff
The Quays (nice, but not for the pub crawler)
Buckfast Plaza (beautiful surroundings including drunken teenagers, regular Garda presence, CCTV, Air Conditioned)

Town::Clubs
----
Cuba (My favourite club, caters for a wide taste in music, crowd is perfect, women are perfect, WAIT!; women are always perfect, especially when you are not going out with them, LOL). Just walk her home and invite yourself in for "coffee". But don't make too much noise making the "coffee", because I find that [woman]'s parents don't like to find their daughter having "coffee" with a complete stranger @ 4am, on the kitchen table!

Right, Pubs/Club/Galway there ya go!

Bard · 03-06-2001 4:14am

What's that fine place around the corner from Patrick Street and near that wee hostel (and the one and only sex shop... not that I'd frequent that kinda joint) in Limerick?... "Quinn's"?

FINE pub, that was.
