This bardge place sounds great from what I can find on the internet it is a live music venue also. But being winter maybe they don't have anything on. 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

**citizenerased** · 17/01/2007, 11:10 AM

yeah, hopefully none will go thirsty!!!

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

**Paulie** · 19/01/2007, 9:51 AM

Tell them to open early. None of this starting to booze at 9pm lark!

**AidoM** · 19/01/2007, 11:10 AM

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

)

Hope the more to follow is info and not booze

(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.

**Paulie** · 19/01/2007, 12:19 PM

Good man Mento. You doing a great job!

**joe_barry80** · 19/01/2007, 12:53 PM

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 don�t miss anybodies tastes.

So the Bounty it is then- great job Mento

Go for it Joe

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

**citizenerased** · 19/01/2007, 1:09 PM

Citizen,

I think if there was another Irish bar Mento would have found it

. As the man on the mission I think he's best placed to make the call and would recommend we take his advice. As I said earlier, one central point will mean mor people and the the more people the better the craic.

Don't forget that Mento's negotiated "Irish on tour" opening hours in the Bounty, so let's make his headache worthwhile.

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
