    I hear The George is one of those queer little pubs in Dublin.

    Take her out to Chasers, just off the Kylemore road. It's a new 'superpub' that recently opened. Best way to describe it would be as a cross between Ron Blacks and Dandelion with a far more down to earth, chilled out, crowd.

    This is the kind of place where it's all about being seen so make sure you're dressed well as door staff can be a tad sticky. A little bit of ostentatious gold jewellery is the way to go. The dress code is usually business casual but there's a more relaxed sporty casual look about the place on a Wednesday night.

    Chasers will impress her no end especially its exceptionally helpful bar staff who can usually be counted on to provide a free bus service into town at the end of the night. I think the terminus is around James Street but you'd need to double check as sometimes the route goes out to Tallaght depending on the crowds.

    Best of luck.

    Take her to the bathroom of a Supermacs. Its the most romantic place in Dublin. Apparently over 45% of kids born in the last 3 years were conceived there.

    And remember to give a thumbs up to the Indian security guard on the way out!

    Take her to the Dublin City Forum. I hear that place is great for a first date. Google it and you'll get it handy enough.

    Hello, does anyone know if there are any sheesha bars in Dublin? Not where you buy sheesha but where you smoke them? I miss it so... :D


    you can smoke sheesha in the tea garden, it a really nice place on Ormond Quay, just down from the Morrison, unfortunely it's doesn't sell alcohol only, as the name suggests, tea.

    hi peeps, my friend and mise are having a joint night out for our 21st in a few weeks and we're looking for suggestions on where to go??? tried to reserve an area in dandilions but they don't accomodate 21sts (the cheek!) so somewhere similar to this place would be a good start....
    tripod was mentioned but a lot of our friends wouldn't be that into the dance scene....never been to velvet so not sure what that place is like....
    uber-stressed!!!!!
    :confused:
    any feedback would be welcome!!!

    OK, not an equiry, just a heads up..

    Venturing from my usual haunt I decided to pay the Darndale Hilton a visit tonight, they've recently opened their newly renovated bar.

    On entering I was mightly impressed, as were my usual section of fine beer's commando's..

    The place is really nice, with a huge big open fireplace and comfy seating.

    A Carlsberg cost me €5.10 which was a little hard to swallow (the price not the beer), but I thought - 'Well Martin, if it keeps the riff/raff away its worth it'..

    And thats all the good I've to say about the place.

    Its let down, and this is a bug-bear with me -by unfriendly foreign bar staff.

    Now I truely believe that nothing can replace the craic you'll have with local Irish bar tenders, "Here Mick, still us on another pint" kind of thing.

    Not in this place!.. At 23:47 we we hungry, so tried to order some grub/soakage "Can we order food place" .. says I... "Sworry, food finish 2 mins ago" - :eek:

    Now Campions is two minutes away and we normally get Jacobs crackers, mustard, cheese & ham etc to enjoy with our last round.. Oh man was I hungry now!..

    Stayed for another round or four then we left promising that although its really nice inside, it'll never replace a proper local & Mick at the bar!.

    I have to agree with you there Mairt. I only really enjoy a drink in my local. I never have to order - it's an automatic assumption. When I'm with my drinking buddies on a Thursday/Saturday night, the barman will know who's round it is etc. and when to drop the crisps/peanuts etc.

    When Mrs Wishbone Ash makes an appearance, they know what tickles her fancy.

    I hate going to other pubs but it has to be done now and again. The thoughts of these stupid Christmas parties crap coming up! :(

    Thanks

    It's that time of year where a pint by a fire is as good an idea as I can think of!! But what boozers have them still?

    Nealon's on Capel Street.

    Although there's a sign asking you not to stand directly in front of the fire you can still pull stools near enough to get that lovely winter time pint and a fire feeling! :)

    [note to self: Go to Nealon's for a pint after work!]

    Went there a while ago on a Saturday night to find that most of the upstairs tables had been 'reserved'. We had to stand there looking at empty tables until they deigned to turn up and fill them.

    What kind of retard attempts to book seats in a busy city centre pub on a Saturday night?

    And what type of manager allows it?

    Nice pub, but I (and a good few of my friends) will be thinking twice about ever returning.

    I never go upstairs except when I'm attending some sort of booked event. Downstairs FTW!!!

    Despite the <SNIP> thats one of my favourite pubs in the city.

    Upstairs in The Slaughtered Lamb in Swords have a fire, but its not great and certainly a far cry from the city centre.
