    Folks,

    I have just retuined to Dublin. When I was here before I used to go to Sachs Nightclub. There were always more mature women there. Sachs seems to be closed now. Where do women over 40 go for a night out theses days?
    Bojangles?

    I got molestered several times one Saturday in the Arlington, it was crawling with oul ones.

    tbh I only saw one 40 plus woman in the place worth a belt, and unfortunately she wasnt one of the ones who slapped my arse.

    Bojangles under Dicey Riley's for definite...but don't go there before midnight...and I find it helps not to be completely sober ;)

    There is no best pub or club in Dublin because it has enough people and pubs for different groups to frequent different spots, as opposed to smaller country towns where they all just go down the local or what have you.

    As a Trinity student I quite like Doyles, music is good and if you go there during the week you might actually get to sit down and have a chat (though you're still competing with the music, it's not as bad as a nighclub). All the rockers seem to love Fibbers, I can't stand it though. These days I'm preferring pubs to clubs, it's better to have a chat with friends over a few drinks than to go out dancing (especially since I'm on the ol' ball and chain). The major downfall of pubs though is that they never offer drinks promos, which means that they're just too expensive for students to go out for a proper night's drinking save on occasion. Cheapest night out in Dublin is probably CitiBar on Tuesdays, pity it's absolutely crap. And of course it all depends on how much you plan on drinking.

    Hate people talking about how great Coppers is, it'll be two long years before I experience it :(

    Eugh. Coppers is a disgusting little hole. It smells like manure, has a horrible athmosphere and gets the general "run as fast as you can away from this dump" vibe down to a T. The only reason I'm thankful for it is it keeps it's usual clientelle in there, and not where I'd rather have a few pints.

    And no, I'm not saying Fibbers is any better. Replace manure with fresh human faeces and sweat, and bingo, you can apply that discription to it.

    Hmmm... are there drinks promos there? Because CitiBar is similar, always full (of students) on Tuesdays even though they all say they hate it... in fairness CB is a crap club it's just the cheapest night out on Tuesdays with €2 drinks.

    coppers dont do any drink promos, but just shows how popular it is that it is packed every night of the week.even students with little cash go all the time.when i was in college we were there most weeks on tuesdays or thursdays. lately its more popular than ever.the queues in the past while have been crazy.

    Wouldn't wanna put anyone off going anywhere, go there and see for yourself. Of course, any night can be a good night if you make it good. Maybe we were all just sick of the place after going there every Tuesday for a year. Its main problem is that it's very small and can get very crowded.

    Well I've never been there before so just looking for a change of wallpaper, and the €2 drinks is a bonus.:D Is it €2 on all drinks ye? And a tenner in?

    Turned 18 just under 3 months ago, most of my mates are 18 less than half a year aswell, so we're a young bunch. Do they accept driving licenses as id?

    Depends on the bouncers. Before I turned 18 I'd usually get in without being ID'd at all, but then one time I showed a fake ID which had gotten past several bouncers, and it was confiscated. Though that was probably because I was wearing runners and not shoes. Definitely don't dress like a scanger.

    Yeah, tenner in, €2 all drinks. Of course doubles will be €4 etc.

    I'm nearly 100% they can't, fake or not. They can contact the guards but you don't have to wait around as you're not on their premises.

    Why do they charge a tenner? The last time we were there we got there @ 7pm and some people from the group went out to get pizza they were gone for 45min tops and the bouncers made them pay a fiver to get in again.....

    a bouncer is not allowed to "confiscate" things

    i saw a bouncer once confiscate some guys hash when he caught him rolling a spliff

    they have no right to do this kind of stuff

    door people are paid to control the entrance,not confiscate property

    My old mate's girlfriend, who was from Malahide, always called it Gibs in an excruciating D4 accent.

    I vowed never, ever to go there as a consequence.

    Haven't ever gone out drinking in Dublin on 1 Jan, at least not that I can recall. But anyway I took it pretty easy last night and am planning to make up for that today. The thing is I'm not sure what is open today- do most places tend to close? Anyway I would appreciate any ideas if anybody knows of anything on, or even which good pubs are likely to be open. Ideally "good" would mean at least some of the following; city centre location, good booze, dark interior, no skangers, and hopefully a scattering of pretty girls. Or is that asking too much?
