    Neither of them are in South County Dublin though are they?

    The North County Dublin forum only deals with areas outside Dublin City on the North side, shouldn't the South County Dublin forum be the same?

    Well, 92 in Leperstown can be a Good Night,
    Bondi Can be Good as Long as The Kids arent there, so Avoid Friday and Satarday like the Plauge, Wedensdays does Be Packed Due to the €2 drinks deal.
    Paps in Dun Laoghaire is to be avoided Like The Plague also, unless you fancy getting the sh*t kicked out of you Afterwards, Men and Women Alike.

    92 is good craic, despite how packed it can get.
    Haven't been into Bondi in a long time, heard its just packed with the kiddies and some nights are sausage partys.

    wouldn't ranelagh and rathmines count as being outside the city?


    edit: see what you mean about north country dublin, but it is different as there is green belts/seperate towns and it is much larger.
    there are no real southside equivalents to rush, skerries etc as it is one big housing estate all the way to wicklow on the southside.

    maybe when we see a charter it will all make sense.

    Anything south of Stilorgan would be outside the city of Dublin. So I would have imagined this forum would deal with Dun Laoghaire and other such places in South County Dublin.

    how are you defining south county dublin?

    Dun laoghaire/rathdown county council or south dublin county council area?
    or both?

    You don't have to hit Stillorgan if so, aren't Milltown and Booterstown outside of Dublin city too?

    eh anywhere with south county dublin as a postcode perhaps? (this is, no number e.g. Dublin 6, Dublin 8 etc.) milltown is dublin 6 btw! Sandycove, Dalkey, Killiney are all south co. dublin anyway.

    that wouldn't make much sense since that is an arbitrary system. that would leave out carrickmines, foxrock, stillorgan, sandyford, dundrum etc etc but include everywhere east of N11, so booterstown but not milltown, blackrock but not stillorgan, deansgrange but not cabinteely.

    for instance neither bondi or club 92 are in south county dublin by that definition.

    Ah Nemos... Don't think I ever stayed there late... but I used to eat their Spanish omlettes all the time on my lunch breaks... They even gave me a discount after a while.

    Actually, I believe that the Gardai went in one night and hardly anyone had I.D. so they shut it down temporarily

    lol, i could just see you in sachs melekalikimaka!

    i'd class the southside as South County Dublin, As mentioned before, there is no huge green belts, it does appear to be one large collection of houseing estates!

    Nemos, having passed it today, looks closed town, there is to let signs outside.

    it's being sold as a site I think, so buyer I'd imagine would build apts with pub below/no pub at all..

    Stillorgan is County Dublin, there's no number here. For some reason there is a slight ambiguity about Kilmacud though which seems to go by Dublin 14 at times (that may be down to the Upper Kilmacud Road though considering it goes as far as Dundrum). I dunno, I've lived here my entire life and I can't tell you the difference between Stillorgan and Kilmacud.

    I do know some people in stillorgan who call themselves county and some who call themselves D14. I thought that the N11 was the division line and west of it was a numbered postcode and east Co. Dublin?

    I always assumed people who said Co. Dublin were trying to be posh! Maybe it was just there is a dividing line somewhere in Stillorgan/Kilmacud area.

    I know where I am up past lambs cross half the people are putting down stepaside co. dublin and the other half sandyford D18 as their address.

    I guess it'll all be sorted next year when everyone gets a proper postcode...

    Its a good spot alright, the crowd can be a bit touch and go at times though.

    Yeah, its being sold as development property so its the end of the club/pub there I'd imagine. Bit of a pity though, there's been a pub/club there for as long as I can remember and its never really brought any trouble to the area.
