Rock night clubs etc

ronano

I realise this should be in a different forum but you know, this forum would have a broader knowledge and of course you guys are cool!(buttered up yet?)

Anyhow i am looking for clubs that play 80's/90's rock,alt rock etc not heavy metal and also you know primal scream electro clash bs stuff

any ideas?

I'd say you'd have to start your own one. Such a thing is all too rare in this country.

ronano

Ok i promise that if i can't find one i shall create my own within 3 months! MARK MY WORDS!

It sucks tho, i have no great desire and when i have an actaul desire to go out to such an event its not there

Clubs only play stuff like that mid-week. Weekends and its chart crap.

ronano

hey im all about the mid week! tell telle tell where and if possible what actaul music bands etc, sorry to be a waster

kittex

I agree, more night like this would be excellent.

I went to a reasonable night in Temple Bar, granted that was back in February. Forget the name of the pub, big one on a corner, down past the Arts Centre.

They'll be sure to dilute it something fierce with 80's/90's, how to put this nicely, "not rock". I've found that every club I went to expecting a rock night played more Madonna than guns'n'roses.

ronano

thanks anyhow ppl

Fridays in Fibbers in Parnell Square used to be like that. Although it's a metal club on Saturdays.

But I aint been there in a while, so don't depend on my words.

The Porter House? The Turks Head?

Porter house. Live bands play decent rock mid-week. Best bar in Dublin, except for the prices.

Redz (and Q-bar) are savagely miss and hit mid-week but sometimes can pull it off.

No offence but dont go near fibbers.

My best nights usually start in porterhouse and then on to whatever the night dictates, depending on the numbers in town. Most my days off are mid-week.

havent been to it since i was about 17 either. Last time i was there, the beer garden was gone, it was full of twats..but thats par for the course for fibbers, the pint was the worst id ever tasted, and thier idea of 'rock' was to play the final countdown by europe.
I think that pretty much says it all about why you should stay away from fibbers.

Duckjob

Fibber's is a godsend when you were 16 and nowhere else would let you in, letalone serve you

Think Issac Butt's do and "Alternative Disco" on thrusdays or something. Never actually been, so I'm not definate what they mean by "Alternative".

Fibbers is still the dive its always been but there doesn't seem to be anything else around quite like it. The beer garden is back and it looks alot like a building site. The DJ seems to be taking his life into his own hands by mixing Rammstein with Justin Timberlake *shudders* Last time I got a pint there I got 10 cent back out of a fiver :mad:

Could always go around the corner to Dominion on Saturdays and hang out with the goths. They play some good stuff sometimes but its really cramped in there when there's a big turn out.

Suaimhneach

That's helmut. Lmao, the guy who mixed Rammstein with Justin Timberlake. Like I said, haven't been in ages, but they did have that on a friday.

Porter house is where I start most my nights now funnily enough. Great place.
