    Im having my 18th birthday party in September and I havent got any ideas as to where I should have it!! The ideal would be a private room with dj, and bar and maybe some seats dotted around the place. Its got to be in Dublin ether close to city center (south side somewhere) or city center its self.
    Any ideas ANYONE!!!

    If I remember correctly, my parents found it difficult to find somewhere with a function room that would hold an 18th for me as there' be alot of under age people there.

    Maybe try D2, they have a small function room & bar to the side of it.

    Or why ot just have drinks in your house and then head out to a club in town??

    I gave this advice to someone planning a party, they were going to have it at home, but if you find somewhere suitable & you have enough time you could do the same. Just leave out the games. It might be too far, but Joe Mays in Skerries have a fair sized function room upstairs.

    Alternatively have you tried your local GAA club? I did a birthday party at the Whitehall one last year and it was pretty big. The eireann sports club near tolka park has a function room, can't remember the exact name of it but it was near tolka park.

    Here is what I told the other poster:
    How about a James Bond night? (looks down to sig!) I have all the theme tunes, and an excellent little gadget called a 00DJ! The James Bond of DJing! You could get all your guests to dress as different chracters from the films.

    Why not write various characters from the films, (check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Bond for the full list!) on post it notes and stick them out of the persons view, (forehaed/back etc). Then the person has to guess who they are by asking others questions. They can only reply yes or no. So they can ask am I a villain? etc.

    As regards to food, martinis are the obvious choice, but you could make pretty much any drink really. According to one site James Bond claims to 'Prefer the ordinary plain food of the country' He does like Vodka & Tonic or champange, you could replace that with sparkling wine from Tesco!

    In Live and Let Die, he eats little neck clams and fried chicken maryland. Obviously little neck clams are out, but you could get some southern fried chicken pieces from tesco again. Also he likes Tagliatelle Verdi when in italy, but of course this can't really be served cold - goes bit rubbery!

    You could do it like the ice hotel, lots of shiny paper, and cellophane. Or check out the link I gave for the list of bond information. Might jog your memory for the themes of the films. Alternatively as the last film was called Casino Royale, you could decorate like a casino. Chips, fake money, coins, cheap n tatty jewelery etc?
