Will we make this irish pub " The Barge" our headquarters then?
Anyone arrive there on the tuesday night?

i might e-mail them actually info@thebarge.it
any news of kick off time yet? our plane lands in ancona at 13:10 and we'd hope to be at the hostel about 330 (we're hiring a car). i'd imagine any bus would be leaving at about 5 or 6 to get to the ground a while before the match, assuming it's a 730 kick off. though if they plan to charge us more than e20 i think we'll just drive up and sort parking ourselves.
think the barge will be the place to be alright.
staying monday night in venice and travel to rimini early tuesday.
i will be in the barge next week on reccie mission so ill bully them into opening early and stocking up!

Some reasons for this could be that money is tight for many fans after the expense of Christmas, match is mid week and means getting more time off work, apparent underperformance of the team at the minute etc.......
Myself and my friend booked a few days ago. Travelling with 747 Travel and staying at the Grand Hotel de Londres in Rimini. We arrive on the Tuesday morning and return to Dublin late Thursday evening. Does anyone have travel plans matching this exactly? Anytime I ask at 747 Travel if there is much interest in this trip from their regulars they are cagey and say it is showing below average interest.
nice one mento , get them to put a band on the tuesday night as well if you can !!
Whatever about opening early it'll be important that they stay open late as well:eek: :DQuote:

I sent them an email a week or so ago to find out if they were open at this time of year, are they opening early on the Tuesday and Wednesday etc. but the email was returned as their mailbox was full. It looks like it's up to Mento to find out what the story is!Quote:

So its the Barge on Tuesday evening then. Anyone bringing the oul irish battle music!:D
It says on a web site that the barge is open all year round, but closed on mondays during winter. Happy days if true.
The Barge (13 Lungomare Tintori. Tel. 0541 22685) Good beer and a distinctly Irish atmosphere characterise this pub next to the sea, near Rimini's most famous bathing beach. In summer, look out for the Harley-Davidson parked outside.
or why not here....:eek: :D
Rose & Crown (2 Viale Regina Elena. Tel. 0541 391 398) Italys first English-style pub opened in 1964. Over the years it has become the best place on the Adriatic Coast to experience the elements of British culture. Nightly contests run the gamut from bingo to beer drinking. Live music every night (pop, rock, soul, country) from 10pm.
Marina Centro. Picture Miami, South Beach or Ocean Drive? There really is very little difference between these and Rimini. The zone between Beach 24 and the port canal is where the most fashionable places are to be found, especially in summer when most of them are open air. You can start from Key West, move on to the Irish pub The Barge, and poke your head in the Ombelico del Mondo or Coconuts, which is almost identical to the Clevelander in Miami with palm trees and sand. The important thing is to end up at Rock Island, which is a real institution; it offers rock music, beer, and a superb view in all directions from the jetty of Rimini. At this point all you need to do is be sure you don't fall in the water.

Rimini is the Ibiza of Italy so hopefully it doesn't close down to early. Not like that Irish pub in Stuttgart closing a 1am the night before the game. Anyway see you all there
yeah, hopefully none will go thirsty!!!

we have a couple of other bars which should do nicely.
Drunk now, sorry, Rimini beer is quality.
More to follow!!
This sounds typical of a resort town, shutting down for the winter. If there is a couple of bars tell them to stock up on beer. My Aunt gave me a horror story when they were in Malta in 89. They ran out of beer and had to get it shipped in. Don't want to be running dry! Thanks again for doing Recon Mento hope the hangover isn't to bad:eek:Quote:

Great job Mento, reccie turned out to be even more important as Foot.ie fans and loads of others could have had no central point to go to but now we know we have our best man on the job. Try to get or recommend only one place that can take a big crowd if possible as the craic will be better the less spread out and bigger the crowd.
There could be a good reward in this for you :) (Check your PM :confused: )
Hope the more to follow is info and not booze :eek: (shhhhhhhh..........)
we had several beverages in the bounty bar, amongst others, last night.
Big pub, excellent drink and the manager was very forthcoming.
He says he WILL open early on the tuesday and wednesday. He said monday as well if people are there.
Bars dont open till 7 over here but he will open at 2 and we have the run of the DJ box, so bring CDs.
We have arranged a sing song session for the tuesday and he said that the bar will close "when all the Irish want it to."
The rose and crown is decent enough and just around the corner, but if i had to choose one spot, the bounty gets my vote.
When guide is done we will get the PDFs sent on to everyone.
Off to San Marino now and then Bologna tonight, more booze,
Bye for now
PS, the pinte pub, across the road from the National hotel will open at 11 in the morning.
We bullied Paulo the manager into doing a deal. 3 euro a lager and 10 per cent off food.
Beers are 4.50 in most bars.
Good man Mento. You doing a great job!
If you need a dj I'll do it. Have a huge collection of cd's. I work in an Irish pub so they have a fair collection of irish music i can bring. I used to Dj in a few places in Dublin. cafe en seine, so su me(dragon Now) and the Capitol lounge. If you want me to do it let me know and tell me your music interests so i donīt miss anybodies tastes.
I'm sure I read that there was a hell of a lot of calls for Cliff Richard!!:DQuote:

Keep an eye on the GT BUS thread where requests are being posted. There will will certainly be more time to play them there as the bar will close "when all the Irish want it" - Thursday :eek:
Apart from the barge, wasnt there not another Irish bar in Rimini..Anyway good work Mento fair play..

Don't forget that Mento's negotiated "Irish on tour" opening hours in the Bounty, so let's make his headache worthwhile. :eek: :D
If we agree on the Bounty I think that we might recommend a Mod to amend the thread to alert people that the meet up is now in the Bounty
Mento anynews on the pub situation in San marino
