Places with a theatre license can stay open.
e.g. Tivoli Theatre is open with David Kitt &Jape doing dj sets.

why, the pubs are closed for 2 days a year - is this really a big hardship? imagine, you might actually have to spend the day with your family and not in the pub :rolleyes:

Ste.phen

But on other days they can do both ;-)

it doesn't have the desired affect though - everyone stocks up at the offie and Good Friday becomes one of the main drinking days of the year.

All the best house parties are on Holy Thursday night & Good Friday. Much as I hate our licensing laws, we should probably leave this one as it is :-)

It's a pity they can't ban being nice to people also, we might actually end up with a decent society.

It's just one of those days that's terribly boring if you don't drink. I was invited to a party and I've no reason not to go. I can't believe the amount of people giving out that we can't go a day without drinking. For me it would be like not drinking on Christmas.

apperantly rira, reynards and viper room are opening at 00 01. Any truth to that?

Pub07

Anyone know anywhere opening at 12 tonight?

AARRRGH

I'm nearly certain the law is the pubs have to close until 12:30 PM the following Saturday (i.e. Saturday afternoon.) I vaguely remember reading that somewhere.

Do you really need to ask that question?

sohailc

ofcourse we need to drink otherwise this thread would not exist. My existence evolved around fridays and saturdays otherwise I have to work 12-14 hours a day in Sales...

Town was empty tonight, Temple Bar had people wandering around. And weirding there was a pub open on the Quays, somewhere along Aston/Wellington/Essex can't remember exactly.

Probably the Viper Room(s). It has a theatre licence and can stay open.

Probably about right when I think about it.

Just came across this thread now. I think it's awfull that someone didn't enjoy House-Party Friday! OP: how old are ye? HPF is the day you stock up beer, go over to a mates gaff, and drink for as long as possible.
