You should have added a "neither" option. Both are pants.

maybe i will, cause as you say it...tullamore is crap!:D

As a DJ in one of the venues mentioned above, I kind of agree with the "Tullamore is crap" feeling. I remember when I started 'clubbing' 12 years ago (started gigging 10 years ago), there were 5 nightclubs available to the adult population. Now, there are only 2 (with an increase in population too). The jist of the arguments about why it has gone to pot include the cost of drink, poor management by the respective managements themselves, poor opening hour structuring, amongst other things. The fact that there are only 2 clubs in Tullamore trying to cater for audiences that span about 4 or 5 different genres of music in less than a 2.5 hour period lends credence to the "can't please them all" mantra. What works for a majority means abuse given by the minority.

It sucks, I know...

I hate club soda. I think its a total smokers club. Which is no good when you go out with a group and your the only non smoker. 11.50 I was charged for a vodka and red bull too.

Having said that, I'm suspicious of the bridge house vodka. there is something not right there. One saturday night we were late going out, and headed straight to the nightclub, no pre drinking. 7 vodkas later and I wasn't feeling it at all.
The bridge have bouncers on power trips, some of them are grand. (I actually liked seamus casey! he gave me a kiss on the cheek haha) But most of them are ignorant bastards on serious power trips. Takes 3 of the big fockers to grab a 5'1, about 7 stone girl, when she was caught fighting. Jesus christ like, one was more than enough.

And even though they're strict like that, its still pretty rough. Me thinks once your kicked out, you should stay out. St.Stephens night 06 the poor DJ was knocked out with a bottle.

The dj's are the only thing that makes me go to the bridge, esp on a thursday night.
Bar staff are completely ignorant and rude upstairs, will wrong change you a lot, and whats with charging full price for that kick sh!te they give out as red bull?

Its like, ya know the stages...
-Sacred Heart School Disco > Rugby Club > Harriers > Bridge.


The only good thing loughreys has going for it, free before 11.

Tullamore has no choice if you like anything that isn't in the charts.
Any time I go home to meet you with family/friends, I always tell them to pick where they want to go. Aside from catching up with them, I have no interest in going out in Tullamore.
But to be fair, my taste is way outside of comfort zone of most people that would go to either of the clubs.:)

Quite a problem in clubland when you're outside of any of the major/big towns/cities in Ireland. I have tried my luck most Thursday nights in The Bridge House to play something old skool and off-the-beaten-track with usually positive results (I throw in Push, Shades of Rythm, Jam and Spoon now and again), but generally, as it is the only Thursday night venue in Tullamore, the genre has to be extremely broad for the range of patrons available on the night.

I'd love to do an Old Skool dance night, and not just the stuff that didn't make the charts, as I get lots of requests every Thursday night to play that kind of music.

Nah the one on sat nights is supposed to over 18's. They have a bebo page and all. I shall find the link.
Its supposed to be as good as the bridge tho, so maybe you're dead right seanie. Good bit out of town too isnt it. Wouldn't like to be walking for a bag of chips in a hoop from there.

No offence taken!

On Thursday nights, it seems to be an even keel of 18 to 25's and over 25's (who made up those age brackets for comparison before, I don't know). Music-wise, I play more 90's and some extra 80's now than I did say 6 months ago. It seems to be paying off. The trick is to encourage more people who would think the bridge house is "a young persons place" into one that anyone can enjoy, and come out and have a good time regardless. The test will be when the universities are back in session and the local youth go their seperate ways end of September.

Still, having noticed some patrons on these boards, if you have a two cents worth you'd like to throw at me, I don't mind...



...but don't throw too hard!

The new bridge is actually decent. Not that i remember much of being there, but it beats loughreys kip hands down. No longer is it the creche house.

A couple of years ago i would have said Loughreys every day of the week, since the Bridge House has been done up it is now easily better.

When the Bridge House closed to do the work all the young crowd last summer started to go to Loughreys and they have stayed up there.

I used to go to Loughreys at least once a week but now i have not been in about 6 months.

The Bridge House is good but it is not worth the €12 admission.

With Hugh Lynchs and The Wolftrap having free entry and drawing large crowds of people who aren't kids either of these options are much better right now. Hugh Lynchs always seemm to have stuff happening too, there is always some kind of promotion going on.
