Anybody else hear that they are going to charge €15 into the place :eek:
Personally I cant see this place doing well, unless you live in Boroimhe its not really a handy place to get to. I can see this place open in a gush of publicity and it will die a painful death afterwards, its just not that accessible and any charge in fee will be its death knell surely.0 -
Thats the going rate. Tomangos and that other hole in the Harp charge 15 in. I'd say it will do alright. I just hope they dont let any scumbags in. I doubt they will tbh.Anybody else hear that they are going to charge €15 into the place :eek:

I think it's aimed more at people who travel to Swords for a night. I've met people from Coolock, Balbriggan, Blanchardstown, Drumcondra on a night out in Swords. These people will be getting taxis to/from Swords regardless and would prob just go there for the night.
The inside looks amazing but its just getting the right people in, or anybody in for that matter! It's a fair auld hike in heels.

Define "scumbags"? Dress code, age, or what?
=-=
From what I've read, this looks like it plans to replicate the success of Time? Big nightclub, not in main city and thus little competition from other "big" clubs (by big, I mean more of the size, as opposed to the name).
In Time, the private areas were just off the main section, so people could filter back into the private sections, but also dance in the main section. Not sure what the layout in this place will be.
/edit site came back up...
Looking at the site (it only just came back), I see people having no option but to get a taxi. I also see lots of people running across the duel-carraigeway to get to Swords village.
The "[url="http://www.thewrightvenue.ie/transport/]Special Taxi Fares[/url]" are a f**king joke. €8 to get there, €8 back, and that's before you count the €15 in? Saying that, €20 back to the city centre isn't bad, if that's what the cost will be after the nightclub... and not before it.
On the plus side, it's near a bus stop, but you'll have to splash out on getting a taxi home.
"Door Policy: 21+, Dresscode: Smart/Casual". As they list it I think they're allowed to stop under 21's in, but I see a lot of people shelling out money to get there, and then refused. Opening night won't be fun.
http://www.thewrightvenue.ie/2009/06/17/soft-opening-july-6th/ still has what looks like "filler writing".
The grand opening is tomorrow, the 10th July, it would seem.

Here is how to get to it by bus. It's 5 minutes walk away from the bus stop. The 41, 41b, 41c, 33 and the 33a all go by this bus stop, going to and from Dublin.

LOL. Thats the problem, they seem to think its some sort of "exclusive" venue, seriously, WTF !Arthur Daley wrote: »More than a 10 minute walk from Swords. I know what you mean about facing the door policy on this place. Being precious about door policy won't work in the world of 2009. It's not like it's situated in the middle of monte carlo no matter what they may like to think.:rolleyes:
PMSL! FFS, they must have got an unemployed estate agent to write up this garbage."Situated in Airside's south quarter" :pac:
Makes it sound like something other than the retail park it is.
Didnt realise those bins had the nerve to charge still, at a push I could believe Tamangos but didnt think people would be mad enough to pay to get into clubs, €15 is 2/3 drinks depending on your favourite tipple!Thats the going rate. Tomangos and that other hole in the Harp charge 15 in. I'd say it will do alright. I just hope they dont let any scumbags in. I doubt they will tbh.
Surprised there wasnt planning objections if theres a nursing home beside it? Id say the 2 or 3 guests that stay in the hotel beside it each night will probably end up complaining too when they hear people roaring at 2am & pissing up against the reception revolving door€8 to get there!! :eek:
I feel sorry for the people in the nursing home just behind it!
Its €4.80 to fart in a taxi these days so I could well believe it if they will charge €7-8 to get there from the main street. Do they think Swords and the surrounding areas are recession proof
I've no doubts it looks the part but I hope people bycott it for the pretentiousness its already sweating out into the B&Q carpark

I was in there last night and got a tour. There are quite a few bars and the 4 'cities' rooms were special albeit at €1500 a night. Expensive birthday party!
The best bit was the Scarface Suite at the very top. I felt like a Las Vegas casino owner staring down at the dancefloor from there. Everything is done to the best quality.
It was fantastic getting to go to all the rooms because come Friday most punters will be restricted to the first and second floors.
Brochure here:

That €1500 includes €750 worth of alcohol already behind the bar . My daughter works there

Sorry. Would it be the 33b? I get mixed up between the two, sometimes.
33/33b bus.
Yeah, I don't know how it got planning permission with the Wintrop so close. ...Actually I do. Think of a politician with the same surname!
The petrol station will start doing a roaring trade. Would not like to be that person working on their own when the club starts.
I'd say if you got yourself a chippy van and parked outside the venue or near it you'd do great business. I remember something similar when I went to Time.0 -

More negative dross from you.:(
Its a positive result for the entire area to have a club of this calibre open up.
Eh Boroimhe is not the only estate close by if you check your map of Dublin.
What about Drynam Hall, Waterside, Holywell etc0 -

There will be a metro north stop a couple of 100 meters away also which will link in a large catchment area.
If it survives the next few years it may become a lively spot but at the moment after the first few months novelty factor is worn off people I fear it will struggle. Where are the clientele with disposable income going to come from? It seems to me like the club will be in direct competition with Wrights at The Plaza (amongst others) during its infancy which is strange. It's also all very well having facilities for live music but unless you've got the two main promoters on board your going to get middle of the road crap which won't pull the crowds.
I can really see the area around this place being a danger for late night violence - nowhere for people to go after, all waiting on taxis - thankfully the VHI Swift Care clinic is nearby 0 -

Waterside is in "Malahide" FFS:p On a serious note, Holywell must be a good 20 min walk away, with Dynham Hall much the same. Waterside is an absoloute camel ride. Lets face it their target market is young ones and I cant see many birds with 6 inch heels on walking any further than back to the traffic lights at the airside junction. You are assuming all their punters will be more than happy to walk 20 mins +. Eh doubt it.
