A survey few years back reveales that Coppers is the number 1 Dublin nightclub for selling vending machine condoms...a lot of posh waking going on..:D

Coppers as a pulling joint??

Yeah absolutely if quality is not a priority and you want to snog "Mags the thick ankled teacher/nurse/garda from Mayo":D:D

Classy. And you are proud of this why exactly?:rolleyes:

What exactly is there not to be proud of? The guy spent the night on the couch? Im sure the view is spectacular from where you're sitting.

3 girls went out, had a great night. One random bloke spent the night on the couch...

What part exactly do you feel i should be ashamed of? Clearly i dont see it.

I had thought of a smart answer to that whn I assumed "Min" and a tweetie bird meant you were female but thought better of it when it occured to me you may be a 6'4" rugby player in touch with his femininity!

Yeah that's prob why I didn't get laid that night - you were the only single girl there and you ignored my drunken mutterings and glazed over eyes!

No pun intended

Not much to be honest, being a person fed up of drinking living in a country whose younger population which has such a reliance upon alcohol to 'socialise', there's not much for me to do. On the continent and elsewhere the aim isnt to get drunk when heading out, I wish that was the way here. Hopefully we will grow up soon. Cant understand how people dont get sick of gettin locked most weekends to be honest.

And as for me? well being a person which a fair bit of intertwining between my social life and music, well im not exactly spoiled for choice in this city. Im in the process of totally admitting defeat and getting the **** out of this country asap. (still doing degree course you see)

class a clown. listen eriksen once a loser always a loser, moving to somewhere on the continent aint goin to change **** for you. LMAO

I think its a great laugh altogether. Only place in Ireland you are guaranteed to see someone doing the "dancing priest".

Place is like the afters of a traveller wedding. Crazy.

It takes in on average €9,000 a night. One of the busiest in Europe

This isn't true at all. It takes in far far more than this.

Its yearly figures were posted recently, its turnover is like 12million.
Which is c.30k when divided by 365

BrightEyes wrote: »

That is phenomenal takings for a night!

Its not great tbh

Mellor

pre-tax profit €6.6 million/revenues €13 million This is a 250k a week or 35k a night (spread over 365 days so actual figures are higher)

€9 million came from the licensed trade
€2.5 million from door receipts,
€666,200 from accommodation receipts
€251,000 from cloakroom receipts.

employment costs are €2.5 million btw

Friends? Now were getting a bit into 13yr old mode. I do, but ideas of socialising contrast to say the least.

So now I take it the Irish dont rely on drink, and im a sad loner for not embracing our false alcoholic culture. Also, your arguing against all this drunken ****e thatg happens in our typical night club, so the masses are in it for the odd tipple here and these and refrain from drinking more than enough beer. And yeah, i do acknowlegde, that you will counter generalisations throught 'now, not everybody' as you dont have much else to say.

But about why im doing this, well, its just that im pissed off with the falseless, needing, mundane irish public when it comes to socialising (in the popular sense). Do people not get sick of going out and getting pissed on a weekly basis after they hit 21 odd?

cheers,

Its a crazy crazy joint. It is full of knuckle dragging drunks. And thats just the women. The amount of alcohol consumed is ridiculous or maybe thats just the standard amount in every Irish niteclub. I hate the place but some people think it is Heaven.

I definitely think Culchies aren't happy unless they bar is completely jammed and they have to queue in its all a bonus.
E.g Coppers, McGowans, Flannerys and Rody Bolands

So any one going to CFJ tonight... I might pop in

df1985

my mates are in town and headin there later, cant go myself.

MIN2511

Am at home, contemplating if i should go out...

Very broke! But would love to have a good laugh which i always get in CFJ

Chucky the tree

Cant stand the place personnally, but each to their own. I laugh at the "get off your high horse" brigade though.

well I love coppers. Its great craic, theres less skinny blonde bitches in the loos who make everyone else feel whale-like, theres even LESS little ignorant and pompous d4 rugby jocks, and they play such classics as the hills of donegal and maniac 2000!!! What more would you want- the place is just a laugh... now dont get me wrong the price is a bit steep, the beer is horrendous and the men are like leeches. but its the most fun place to go in dublin for a good aul messy night out. I recently went to burn in Stillorgan and that godawful bondi in the city and spent the entire night fighting the queue into the ladies (You're so vainnnnnnn) or marvelling at the stupidity of the young d4 crowd... at least in coppers people you don't know will have the craic with ya! theres my 2c worth

And, you're pro coppers?

You can have craic with most people, it just sounds like you don't want to have any dealings with the "ignorant and pompus" dublin crowd. Get over yourself.

Jeez some people really do get hung up on things too easily here..

Coppers is/or used to be one of the few spots in dublin where you werent surrounded by pompous little gits/wannabes who think they are somebody because daddy/mammy had a few quid or drunken scumbags who'd glass you as soon as look at you..

You could simply go there with some mates and have a laugh.. that was the appeal of the place.. it wasnt stuck up, wasnt full of scumbags and sure if you were so inclined, could pick someone up easily enough as most people there were plastered drunk..

The reason its so popular with Gardai, most being from outside Dublin, is because its around the corner from Flannerys, another popular pub with the Gardai and they all used to get in for free, most without having to flash the badge.. so needless to say they always had a few mates with em, then their mates would go etc and suddenly you had a huge amount of people going simply because their mates went there. Hence the place being full of non dubs..

Sure its a dump, beer is crap and staff couldnt pull a pint to save their lives, but it works, so why fix whats not broken??

Too many pubs have what works but the owners get greedy and change things, suddenly the appeal is gone and so are the customers.. :rolleyes:

I'd say the figures in the other thread are very conservative..

coppers can only be described as an experience that has to be had. i've been going there for years... every night i'm out i hear the statement "we're not going to copper no matter what happens" but come 2am the homing becon is on and i'm suddenly in coppers...

the place is always busy... 99.9% of the punters are there to have a laugh and get drunk... i've never once seen a fight in there and there are very few pompus twats in there either which is always nice.

and being in one of the greatest sh!tholes of a city in the country its nice to be able to go out and know your not gonna be stabbed/shot/mugged/assraped...

but on the other hand variety is the spice of life... everyone is different so only you can make up your own mind about the place...

ooo and if i was the dude that owned coppers i wouldn't give a hairy sh!te what anyone taught of the place as i'd be too busy rolling around in ye're money

wannabepr

So Guys What Age Is Coppers??
I Hear everything from over 18 to over 20 to over 21?? Can someone set me straight?
