    To be fair I think it's great having a choice espeically on a busy night, but the thing is this time of the year having so many late night venues in a small town means that when you go to one of them the chances are it's going to be quite and you can't help but wonder are there more people in one of the other places (probably not).

    Basically this time of the year is so quite haveing 4 choices dilutes the late night clubbing scene.

    Althought it will get better as the crowds come back later in the year

    As far as clubs are concerned it all goes mainly but not always according to age for example a younger crowd would go to the White Lady, with people over 23/24 tending to go the Bacchus or the Quays. Personally over the last year and a half I thought the Bacchus overtook the White Lady as it was a great place to meet people. In the White Lady it is quite awkward to meet people and get involved in other groups as it’s more like a hall these days with people walking up and down from front to back like headless chickens. There is nowhere to leave a drink and the seating area is cut off from the hoards of people wandering aimlessly around the place. The Bacchus was great as it was easier to mingle with people, better design and various seating areas dotted around the place in every corner.

    A pretty good spot to go pub wise is Muddy Mahers usually late on a Friday Night it can be lively with a pretty good live band.

    I’d also recommend Hamlets, The Greyhound/Market and Oscars when it’s busy.

    Stay well away during the Rugby 7’s!!!!!!!!

    I've heard bad things about Kinsale during the rugby 7's before, but I've never actually been there for it - Does it just get very busy or is it messy too?

    ^ Kudos on your username (love the Thin White Duke).

    I'm going to rename this thread, folks, similiar to the Macroom one. Feel free to start your own for other areas around the county :)

    I'm afraid it's messy and busy, there is mounted Garda on horses, men urinating in the streets (even saw one guy doing it into a girls shoe)

    The bars serve drinks into plastic cups, on the Sunday Night you have to queue to get into many of the bars, you also have to get an ID tag for the weekend.

    There is always damage to local property.

    Lets just say if RTE wanted to fill a 2 hour long Primetime special on excessive drinking and public disorder the May Bankhoilday in Kinsale is the perfect place to do it.

    I've being goig out in Kinsale for 10 years now and would be more than hapy to recommend it any weekend of the year except for that one

    I'll be working in Kinsale for a few months towards the end of the summer - any good active clubs or societies there that would be good to get to know a few people ?

    The Bullman in summercove is a lovely bar, and my favourite in or around kinsale. Muddy mahers is good for music and atmosphere. The greyhound is a great old style pub, not much in the line of comforts, but I think it feels right. Im not great for nightclubs, so cant comment on those. There are a few other bars in kinsale too, it depends on what you are looking for. Hamlets gets a good crowd and the atmosphere is normally good there.

    As far as night clubs are concerned

    The White Lady if you aged between 13 and 23

    The Bachuss if your 24 or older (go after 1am it doesn't fill up until after then plus better quality crowd than elsewhere, no trouble makers either)
