The Dragon is probably the least sleazy joint. And I heard something about speed-dating there one night a few weeks back...
Ugh, that's my least favourite bar, bunch of posers eyeing each other up. I feel like a piece of meat on display whenever I walk in there, I don't like it at all!
I love the G, I find it to be great fun!

Yeah I'd agree, it can be great fun. Wouldn't be mad about everyone who goes there though.Ugh, that's my least favourite bar, bunch of posers eyeing each other up. I feel like a piece of meat on display whenever I walk in there, I don't like it at all!

I've rarely been to the D on a weekend so I don't really know what its like then. But its pleasant enough for the odd cocktail during the week.0 -

I am a little bit new on the scene. Although I'm not looking for a serious relationship or anything, i am just not into flings or one-night-stands, which guys I've met think is surprising because I'm "only a boy" (at 24!).
Suppose I'm just looking for friendship with the possibility of more?? I've been to the main bar in Dublin, but i think that is just a "cruising" place. Not sure what cruising is but i don't think it's looking for friends!! That said, where do i look?
No such place exists! Well not in Ireland anyway… From my experience there all meat markets, so if it’s friendship you’re looking for, try going on line and finding like minded guys or groups!
Ireland’s still to small and provincial for it to cater for friendships in gay bars! Such is life. Best of luck im sure there are plenty of mates out there for you.:D
Cruising is what you think it is ......its guys looking for sex! You can’t be that much of a boy?!

You can’t be that much of a boy?!
Well I stayed clear of the gay scene for so long because I don't buy into gay culture... it did not and still does not appeal to me. Maybe that's because of the country upbringing i had, old fashioned and uncorrupted!
I am at an age where i would like to go out and chat and have a laugh with other gay guys, maybe seeing a few, so that in future i know what kind of guy to look for as a partner... It's so depressing to have realized that he may not exist!!0 -

*grin*
You'd want to be careful the terms you use, someone might take offence
I'd agree that you're old fashioned though, just because other people may have different views to your own and don't have the same hangups about sex, doesn't mean they're immoral or corrupt 0 -

I do agree the word uncorrupted is a little over the top!! Each to their own my friend 0 -

My God that takes me back to the days I was younger and well in the closet…:o
This was when "The George" was just the front bar and "The Loft" was upstairs consisting of small chrome mushroom seats and red and blue plastic rim lighting. Eighties or what... It was so small that you couldn’t swing a mouse in it. But as you stated guys would come on to you and if you weren’t interested and tried to be a polite in your rebuff, they still wouldn’t take a bloody hint.
This one guy, who looked like Peter Sutcliffe, “The Yorkshire Ripper”, every time I’d go in he’d just hassle me over and over. I’d leave early as I would have to get the last bus home, home been a small town in North County Dublin. One morning I woke up in my parents house looked out the window and who was sitting in his car on the other side of the road but this guy. I nearly died!:eek::eek::eek:
Sitting there in his red and black mini, with his long skinny bearded face peering out his car window……….. Jayus im laughing now but at the time I was so scared of him!! The creep followed me home the night before in his car. I was shi**ing myself and he stayed hanging around my house on and off for a fortnight. Following me when I was out walking, going to the shops etc… I solved the problem by talking to a few guys in the George one night, who seemed as if they were a good bunch of mates and they were much older and wised then me, they took him aside and had a gentle word with him and that was the end of problem. They were scary days when you first went on the scene, well back then anyway it probably has changed a lot from my youth. I never go near the places now or really since as I met my partner soon afterwards and were together 23 yrs later... he never did the scene.
I’d hate to go through all that now!! 0 -

Good lord, I've never experienced anything like that going to the George these passed 5 years lol! eek, that'd freak me out, but I think I'd just report the guy to the guards, that or run at him with a hammer and a crazy look in my eye
Well back in the 80's the Garda would of arrested me and probably kicked seven shades of sh*te out of me too or maybe not but I was too young to even speak to a friend/family of what was happening, looking back we were so vulnerable to any sort of pray or attack. Glad its 2008!! 0 -
