Socialising in Dublin

[WeAreRovers]

open minded Kerry people

Ladies and gentlemen we have a winner in foot.ie's oxymoron of the year competition.

Desireless - Voyage, Voyage? Of course they only play it in gay clubs.

On a related note I'd highly recommend the 12"/80s box set. 3 CDs of top class 80's 12" remixes for a measly €23. You'd love it.

In Dublin :

Whelans is my primary location for nightclub.

Apart from that, Thomas Reads downstairs plays great music. I go to the International, The Foggy Dew, Fibbers (if I am waiting to go to a gig in the Ambassador), The Neptune, and then any of the small pubs along the way from Reads to Whelans, like the Swan, Ryans, JJ's for the quick scoop to kill the walk

Shocked!!! Gar says Whelans!!!

All these pints you have en route, you must be on an all day bender (Gareth is a very slow drinker)

What are you doing online, you not meant to be on the way to Galway???

[Gerrit]

Why don't you all go gothic and join me to the goth club on Saturdays ? You can borrow my eyeliner while waiting for time to go shopping at Boots...

[Drumcondra Red]

Eh, no!

100% Culchie then yeah? Are you a guard or nurse to complete the stereotype. The "crawl" you describe ranks probably as my living hell!!

Which Goth club?

[carrickharp]

Did you not spot the ginormous rainbow flag outside?

And I thought that flag was up because Carlow were playing in Croke Park

[Gerrit]

Which Goth club?

Dominion ! http://dominion.gothic.ie

And when I'm in Belfast I tend to combine it with a visit to local goth club Cornucopia : http://cornucopia.gothic.ie

[Gareth]

Looks like Fibbers but more space on the dance floor. Actually ha, one of my mates are in one of the photos on the site Small world

i can assure you, i have a better job than you. im a cultured culchie

[Gareth]

i can assure you, i have a better job than you. im a cultured culchie

You don't know where I work to make that judgement? and cultured culchie sir is an oxymoron

[paul_oshea]

no i dont but i am going to make a stupid stereotype and say because you are a shels fan you must have an inner city job. i dont know what you do, i dont care either, you dont have to be a culchie to enjoy that night, just the kinda person who doesnt take themselves too seriouslly and is able to let their hair down. not standing at the side saying, "jees do ye see them there, fooken eejits dancing and singing to that", thats the point i was making.

[Green Tribe]

Go Paul! Paul's a fine singer anyway......

[pete]

Did you not spot the ginormous rainbow flag outside? It's there for that very reason - to stop gobshoites walking in by mistake. Or so somebody told me....

Seen that walking past today...Tis big flag alright. I'd say the owners saw more profit in the pink euro than half empty Sosume.

Awh but dont you know paul that it is widely known for many years now that the very trio of pubs you mentioned are the shrines to country visitors to the city. Quinns for the pre and post GAA with a quick taxi past the inner city danger zones and off to the south side to Flannerys were it is well known to house the post-Copper's warm up and then when the time comes to maul up your lady friend you met in Quinns and nodded at in Flannerys, you scoot off to Coppers

As for your south side accent and suggesting I dont dance like a fool and that I take it all a little too seriously, I just like to dance like a spa to good music I just happen to dislike your venue of choice

And yes you were right, that is a stupid stereotype.

You got gothic friends ? Interesting, maybe -if he's often visiting Dominion- I've already talked to him

There's more than enough people on the dancefloor, though most just come in after midnight. Suits gothic folks now, doesn't it ? I'm not much of a dancer, I just socialise and listen to the music. Probably won't be on the pics therefor...

God I hated Sosume. How pretentious could one bar be....

btw i never mentioned anything about southside accents.

ya it might well be a country persons treck, but i mix it with the best of them

when I was in Dublin I drank in the following places:

McGowans in Phibsboro, full of out of town randy nurses... good scoring rate

Flames: right auld spot.

Fame: 80s disco every Friday & Saturday night.

Boomerang: useful if you want to get shacked up with a typical Dublin skank.

Fitzsimons in Temple Bar: full of dumb yanks
