used to go there meself.

ended up missing the bus back into near me gaf one night and started walking down the hill. arm in arm with a lovely.

this little car-van type drove past us, stopped and let us hop in the back, gave us a lift to sutton cross so we could get a taxi.

jaysis, remember the curry chips and all at the end of the night?

great place it was.

ever go to Jets out by the airport/swords direction?

The Saint Lawrence, afair.

It's a new posh looking bar now, type of place you'd expect to see Al.

ya locked the Torres thread before i got in!

only joking, i could never be mad at you....you're too friendly

Dub13

The bus back was super,it would only take us as far as the Goblet but its only a short walk to Donnycarney from there.If you did not pull in the club you had a good chance on the bus.I think the dodgy food was something to do with the licenses laws at the time if they sold/gave away grub they could say open a few hours longer.The Yacht in Clontarf used to do that as well.

Never went to Jets.

Dub13 wrote: »

yeah, I kind of though Al would have been a bit too young.

It's actually not that long ago, I used to go with a crew I worked with in a electrical retail shop beside the UCI in Coolock (I'm not mentioning the name on purpose, feckers aren't getting any of my free advertising :mad:) And I left there in 2005.

You ever go to the Blacker Dub13, the upstairs part, Hamunaptra?

Full of scumbags, but the bouncers were always on the ball with trouble. Used to have great nights in there too.

Skyy Bar.
Not my cup of tea at all.

only go there when my mate is dj-ing

Ah good time charleys, even I know that place and Im the exact opposite side of the bay!! I like howth. I tend to go on random aimless drives (i may curtail that after tonights episode) and Howth was one place along with the airport that I regularly hit.


Dub 13 do u want me to just send u my article as a PM? Will i put the title as the subject of the PM?

Dub13

Believe it or not I have never set foot in the Blacker,one of my younger sisters loves the place and is there most weekends.

I love talking about retro pubs.

For the younger lads has anybody tried the new Players Lounge in Fairview..?

Wooo Hoooooo!!!

I just won a 100 dollar iTunes/Appstore voucher!!!

Anyone know anything good (although I'll probably just ask Pandora).

iTunes has been giving me funny choices recently. I really like Asterods Galaxy Tour but I don't quite get the Ting Tings.... their music sounds like Ad Jingles.

you must have spent some time in The Ramble?

Only ever had one night in there, talk about a local shop :eek:

was in it a few times, after it re-opened, on me way to tolka park. it's the same on the inside as the old Fairview Inn used to be, except it has a few plasmas up around the place.

Used to always drink in the Goblet, as most of my friends are from around it, but it's gone to shíte since the smoking ban. They do sell pint bottles of macardles though, which is a huge bonus. Bass on tap too.

Also, Graingers in Marino was a fantastic spot on a Friday/Saturday night, thirty of us used to be upstairs all the time, practically took over the whole lounge, that was until that godawful Barcode opened.

Yes Des I used to drink in The Ramble a lot mostly before we went into town.Its a dive with young lads just giving up and staying there year on year you no the type,its kind of sad to see them turn into the old man when they were still in there early 20s.
