Clubbing

Nickibaby*

Just looking for ideas for clubs to go to on a Friday/Saturday night. I'm not from Limerick so the only one i'm familiar with is Trinity Rooms but I found it a bit crowded and looking for somewhere a bit less packed. Any advice?

zuroph

friday trinity rooms will be far from packed, town isnt very busy on a friday night any more. saturday night they will all be fairly similar in crowd size. other options are angel lane, Icon, smaller then is aubars and scarlett, older crowd is the sin bin and the tatler club(teds).

Angel lane is my recommendation and its in a good area with a few good bars and if the queue is too big the Icon nightclub is only around the corner.

90 % of so called clubs in Limerick are all pretty much the same besides Baker place which get djs from all around Europe playing house, funk, drum and bass, techno etc.

Dolans Warehouse do some great live bands and completlly different crowd from the other night time haunts.

Trinity do the odd good dj and live gig and play some cool grooves....everywhere else is a more or less a meat market, fills up from 1 AM to close, bad value for money and based on selling drink with music supplied by your local Jimmy Disco where you might as well have an ipod on repeat and not much variety in these places or value for money for the clubber so it depends what your up for.

well said, DJ scotch egg in bakers last thursday was ****in class!!!! rest of the nightclubs just have the same music, mixed in the same style that a 16 year old does in the local country pubs, although trooms does get some top notch dj's too.
Icon?? hellhole!

Yeah Trinity do get some great djs and cater for a good mixed crowd, at the end of the day we have a small population.

I miss the good old days of great house dj's every week in Dolans, the likes of kerri Chandler, Fish Go Deep, Kenny Carpenter etc. No club has come close to it since although Bakers is quite good, just doesn't fill the space.

Was in Trinity Rooms the other night. The place was a cresch. Felt the nightclub was some sting set up by the cops to catch paedophiles. I was vigilant.

Well its known most of the Market crowd went to Trooms after it closed, because they werent allowed into Icon!

Having a bad experience in Icon, i still would go there over Anal Pain, Trooms or any other for that matter!

But avoid the credit crunch and stay in a later bar, like Nancys! Or if you really want to go to a club, try Costelloes haha its only a fiver in!

There's not much to separate Angel Lane, Icon & T Rooms on music policy at the weekends, it's a predominantly young pissed up crowd. I prefer a late bar these days but will make the effort to go to Dolans if there's a good gig on.

zuroph

i find there aint much of the chart ****e played in t-rooms though. its the first thing i notice when i go to somewhere like icon. plus theres usually something funky going on out in the bar part

EDIT: interesting, it blocked out part of a word.

I love Costelloes myself much more than any of the other clubs in town.

More of them

Seriously though, the selection of nightclubs in Limerick is pretty poor these days.

Another thing I have noticed though is that since this recession hit us bouncers are not as fussy as to who they leave in.

Costelloes? Probably ok if you have absolutely zero interest in hygiene or fire safety. Personally (and from having been there too many times to count over the past 5 years) I would never set foot in there again. In my opinion, the place is filthy, the music is dire and the crowd have turned from a friendly group of alternative types to pretentious student ****. Costelloes can go **** itself, 5 euro entry or not.

Says the guy who didn't know where Lisburn was and had to google it. Good one Christopher Columbus! Mistakes happen.

Ditto. Absolute Kip.

ah now, havent a bad word to say about costelloes!!! you know what your gettin like!!

bakers being free on a thursday has completely robbed costelloes thursday crowd, you couldnt get into the underground after 1.

Elbi

Anyone any idea what Aubars is like at night?

puglover

Aubars is good, they've just renovated the club and the decor is lovely. Crowd would be late twenties & older, music is pretty average charts stuff at the weekends.

The club is free before midnight but do expect to pay 50 c to a €1 over the odds for your drink.

Elbi

Ya the drink is more expensive alright.

I heard a rumour the the Sinbin was closing, anyone heard the same?

Fast_Mover

Jaysus, hvnt been to Sinbin in two years..if anyone asked me I would have said place had closed down!
