I can think of easier ways of getting a pint of piss and not pay €3 for it! :P
On a serious note though, a bad first time experience anywhere isn't gonna be appealing either, i'd say gather around a couple of mates and try Bruxelles again just for a couple of hours.
That way you can lose some sleep and then say you tried. 0 -
Bruxelles, without a doubt. Good location, great people and metal, what more could you want!
Fibbers smells like piss and it's full of emos. Not even €3 a drink could entice me to Fibbers.
After saying the above....I ended up in Fibbers on Sat night :eek:
It's actually not as bad as it used to be. They have MANOWAR in the jukebox!!
Bruxelles is way better though. 0 -

Hahaha, who knows! My mate that I was out with, doesn't really like Bruxelles. So we compromised and left Bruxelles at 12 or so and went to Fibbers. :rolleyes:
I'll be back in Bruxelles on Saturday though 0 -

This is true. I would have preferred to stay in Bruxelles for the night though.
Oh and what the hell has happened to Eamonn Dorans in the last year? They play dance and hippity-hop crap now
Such a shame. 0 -

Doesn't take away from the fact that it was a great place...
Haven't drunk in Fibbers in years, other than before a few gigs. Drink in Bruxelles when I can be arsed going out, but tend to start in the Foggy, have a few reasonably priced drinks & then head up to Bruxelles sometime after 11 or 12.
Was in on Saturday night & it's €6.70 for a bottle of Budvar in Bruxelles... That's just madness.0 -

The jukebox is just a little more varied, it also depends on the day you've gone in.
I tend to avoid there now, their alcohol selection has gone down the crapper in the last two years, even mixers are a chore now. I asked for a JD and coke and they flung a pepsi at me?!!
Ever try drinking JD and Pepsi?! Listerine would make a better mixer!!!0 -

It was a good place. McGonagles was a great place.Was in on Saturday night & it's €6.70 for a bottle of Budvar in Bruxelles... That's just madness.
I got shafted up the ass for 13.50 or something for a JD and 2 cokes in Anseo the other day! Apparently the JD was 5.20, which meant that each Coke was €4!!
Under the normal run of things, i'd have refused it but I was with a mate. Won't be going back there again!!
Anyway sorry for taking this and running, I've never really gotten too shafted with the prices in Bruxelles, that said, i haven't had a drink there in months either. Must make a return soon.
Hrm, hey Cathy, what you doing this weekend? 0 -
A little? That's an understatement. The place has gone to ****. It's a pity because it used to be a really good spot. Ah well.ShawnRaven wrote: »The jukebox is just a little more varied, it also depends on the day you've gone in.

Their selection has gone down and their prices have gone up.
JD should only be served with Coke. Pepsi and JD is just wrong.
Haha I'll be in Bruxelles on Saturday. Might see you thereShawnRaven wrote: »Anyway sorry for taking this and running, I've never really gotten too shafted with the prices in Bruxelles, that said, i haven't had a drink there in months either. Must make a return soon.

The week i'm having, i'll most likely be the one pissed drunk at the bar holding up the building! Cos i'm being driven to drink, the cast of Bruxelles can watch me drown 0 -

I cried when it closed down, I actually did. First week in 1992 I believe, but I could be wrong. I think i went about six months of nowhere to go at night time before Fibbers became Fibbers. Good as it was at the time, It just wasn't the same.
I missed being able to do my leap to the stage, anyone that ever saw the stage in McGons would know the significant difference in the size of the stages! 0 -

It was the only venue in Dublin that would allow you stage dive,seen a guy missing the crowd completely and bouncing off the floor,he was a bit dazy but still happy
Drank cider with Deicide outside the door before they played and then of course Tom Hayes Rock discos.Just a load of stuff as come to mind from reading this thread,thanks everyone

Bwahah, was never that silly! The stage in Dorans was always good for diving too, sound out of there always was and still is pretty crap.Drank cider with Deicide outside the door before they played and then of course Tom Hayes Rock discos.Just a load of stuff as come to mind from reading this thread,thanks everyone
Pretty sure we had a McGon's discussion not so long ago and Tommy himself was on. Guy was a hero at the time.Jesus I'm getting all choked up here thinking back
