    I can't believe no one hasn't mentioned the Dundalk Institute of Technologys very own pub. Perfect solution to a half day on Mondays..... and Tuesdays.... and well, every day of the week is a half day in that college when its your 4th year so you get the picture. Or having a quick few pints in the Malthouse before getting the bus right outside and having a sleep at 2pm on the way home. Twas great!! In fact that was the only thing I liked about the college

    Pheonix for best pub I reckon. Betty does a fantastic job looking after her regulars. Maybe she's a bit too cautious about non-regulars though :rolleyes:

    Courtney's for the footy and for some pre-Riddleys pints!

    Personally, Betty annoys the crap out of me.

    As ErinGoBrath mentioned, she is generally extremely cautious around anybody she doesn't consider a "regular", and treats them with great suspicion. Which I'm sure most people will agree is not a particularly welcoming way to greet potential customers.

    Then there are those who she just displays a blatant contempt for regardless of how long they've been around.
    Anyway, as I'm sure somebody will point out, if you don't like the service just don't go there. So I don't.

    Ah seriously she's not that bad :D

    It's just if you look a bit dodgy or maybe underage she gets a bit freaked.

    :v:

    And she does have a habit of overdecorating somewhat!

    Wow she's taking over Lockies? Never knew that. She'd have a micky fit when she see's all the heads coming in from Oriel Park.

    I'm still sticking by my guns though - Sweaty Betty for Mayor!

    Plus, you shouldn't be in distracting her staff bounty_hunter :eek:

    I wasn't! This would have been when he wasn't working. Jaysus, I could see her point otherwise.

    Sarge i'd edit that threat again if I were you.If the other Mods see it they'll be sniggering behind your back.Its a bit all over the place.
    Pighead wonders if anybody has sampled the joys of Wisemans on Bridge Street.One of the few pubs in town which have a pool table.Every pub should come equipped with a pool table.I remember back in the day watching live bands in Wisemans and shooting some magnificent drunken pool afterwards.It was a simple life but a great one.

    I think you'll find that most Dundalkians who value their lives tend to avoid Bridge Street if at all possible.
