I hate the med bar. too packed, music is crap and it's full of older people trying to be young. Theres no harm in being old - I am for example - but trying to pretend you're cooler than you are? that doesnt work. Maybe that isnt really what the Med is like, but any time I get dragged in there, thats the impression I get.

so where is your watering hole?

i rarely venture out unless i have to. too many other little projects to be doing

Thanks for the feedback guys, sadly its all bad feedback. Not what i wanted to hear but anyway......


It looks like managed well it would be a good spot i am in the market for a nice place where the family can go on a sunday for nice lunch etc and was also hoping to corner the market for live music and different theme night for the function room.

The underground pub could have been used for student nights but it seems i wont get that.

If the night club has been known for patrons who dont get into the foundry or other places well its always will have that brand of client

I do not want to be refusing cash either but i have been in the hospitality business for over 12 years now and a friendly pub atmosphere is what i am aming at

i always went to the temple and saints and sinners and the edge before that even and im allowed into the foundry, its not just people that cant get into the foundry, people from carlow town go to the temple and people from co carlow and further go to the foundry, thats my opinion

Little Venice, in Haymerket is prob the best place in town for food imo. Then the med or barracks for beers after.

I was in Levritts and Tullys Friday night, Tullys was good alright, a nice few in it, there was 10 if even in Levritts

I was in Cedar Square(smoking area dinn ri) Friday nite. There was a guy playing guitar and singing. Didn't get his name but he was very good. There was only about a dozen people in it, but looked like it could be a good spot with a bit of a crowd. Best smokin area in the town anyway IMO

Sherrifs never re-opened after the keg room blew up if I remember correctly. :eek:

Like Leverett's, I suppose out of all the places to go. No pub in Carlow will beat Dalton's in Tullow on a random Tuesday after the indoor soccer or something like that. Good music on and abuse and beer flying! What more could you want?!!

to clarify

sherriff's bar was sold to the new owners of crotty's bakery (closed) it was intended that the entire combined properties was to be converted into a shopping mall with 2 street fronts... this never seemed to happen once the economy collapsed. the pub's license was sold seperately.

the last night of sherriff's was a great night when joe & henry (sheriff's last owners) locked all us regulars in and told us to drink the building dry for free

there is no can bars in town anymore.:(.
And selling foreign drink you could sell cheep and cater for people that don't want to go out on the town anymore due to price etc.

tavern still sells cans

Anyone know the best place on a Tuesday night? Probably not much happening, does the €3 drinks in Leveretts draw in the students?

SIX PACK

Don't even think the €3 drinks from Mon to Wed draws many in. Was there last tues nite at 23:00, there was only 10 ppl in the place. No Atmosphere at all. I guess people don't have the disposable income anymore. Most students go to O'Briens, get a box of beer & go have a house party. I know my friends in college don't get any money off their parents so there struggling to even pay the rent.

tully's is good. finnegans had the best pint in the town before it went and turned into halifax

The Tavern is the best pub in Carlow, beer and music second to none.
Irishmans to watch a match though!:)

Scraggs not for me its a kip. The Barracks or Dinn Ri is where you,ll find me on a sat nite

Was in the Med two weeks ago on the Friday night and got a free Vodka and something else. I think the name of the drink was a mule.

Was in Scraggs last Saturday and got a free pint of Ice Bud which i pulled myself (it was a promotion, i didnt steal it) and another free one which the designated driver got.

These are my two favourites and will continue to be if they give me free drink

I got a free pint of Bud Ice in Dinn Ri beer garden. I poured it into the flower pots. Its complete pi$$ water.

eh, well in fairness, the rep came over to a table that was COVERED in Tyskie and offered us that $h1te. Clearly we drink good beer

I had one mouth full out of it and tossed the rest. Muck!

ottostreet

I'm the main DJ from the Med, so glad ye think the med is crap for music! i completely agree with you. not much i can do about it though. nice pub but on the rare occasions i head out in carlow, id normally head to leveretts.

Some of the pints in there can be dodgy at the best of times. Just out of curiosity how did the flowers react when you poured the pi$$ water on them. Im guessing they withered before your eyes

The evergreens weren't green anymore...
