df1985 · 30-06-2009 1:13am

id love if they had a proper house night on the saturday and maybe an indie/electro night on the friday or something like that.probably wont happen and itll be the typical rihanna bull**** like every other club.glad its over 21's though.

mp3guy · 30-06-2009 9:54am

Yeah, I'd prefer a proper electronic night rather than chart hits from the 80's onwards.

Apparently it's being aimed at all those lovely rich folk from Kildare with horses and whatnot.

hahaha yeah, like that will last for long!!! hahaha

Holsten · 01-07-2009 2:50pm

They had jobs up on the job websites a few months ago, I'd say they are all gone since it's opening this Friday.

~me~ · 01-07-2009 2:54pm

apparently sophie ellis bextor is opening it

K4t · 01-07-2009 3:01pm

Over 21s? They are missing out on a lot of business.

Is there any other night club in Maynooth, one that an 'immature' 18 year old can gain access to? :rolleyes:

It hasn't opened yet. It's opening on Friday. Let us know what it's like!

mardybumbum · 01-07-2009 5:34pm

Did anyone go to the interviews in O Neills.
I got a text off them but I never bothered my arse showing up. I thought I could get a job somewhere else. Big mistake.

Michellenman · 01-07-2009 5:37pm

The interviews for where? Mantra? I applied and they told me that the location for the interviews was in Cellbridge...

mardybumbum · 01-07-2009 5:41pm

Yep, Mantra. My interview was on a saturday in O Neills and I live in Castlebar. :eek:
Did you get the job?

Michellenman · 01-07-2009 5:49pm

I couldn't go to the interviews. This was ages ago that these interviews were on. How did it go? Do you know yet?

Ya it was ages ago as well. I didnt bother going as It was for the position of a cloakroom assistant. I figured it would only be a few hours a week and not worth the cost of renting a place in maynooth. Ah well.

ORLY?!

Wha?

Jessica xxx · 02-07-2009 9:32am

I sent them an e-mail last night looking for part time bar work at night, a guy i know has a contact in there so hes gona put in a word for me, so we'll see how it goes..... Fingers Crossed

Id say it would be a fairly cool place to work alrite. Anyone here have a job there starting 2mro?? :rolleyes:
I got a bundle of consessions last night of the guy i know, i heard its 30 euro in or something!!! :eek: :eek: Is this true?? If so My consessions will come in handy haha

Rumoured to be 35 for opening night. Sophie Ellis Bextor and some guy from Corrie opening it.
Still far far far from finished inside.

irish_goat · 02-07-2009 12:41pm

There's no way students will pay €30 entry fee no matter how fancy it is inside.

mp3guy · 02-07-2009 12:53pm

From the official Facebook:

"There are many rumours circulating that entry to Mantra will be €30+. Don’t worry! This is nonsense obviously. To clarify the offering that is Mantra... the Garden Bar is located on the 1st floor and that is FREE - yes FREE - in before 11.30pm 7-days a week. Cover charge to the Garden Bar (still to be determined) will only apply after 11pm on Friday and Saturday nights."

df1985 · 02-07-2009 1:40pm

10 in friday
12 in saturday.

had a look in yesterday.have no idea how they intend opening tomorrow.therell be lads workin through the night and all day tomorrow by the looks of things.

Holsten · 02-07-2009 1:46pm

I'll be getting there early then, cover charge... they can **** right off.

Says nothing about the opening night though.

Also from the official Facebook

Tickets for a regular Friday and Saturday night will be €10/12 in MANTRA. We are reviewing prices for the opening weekend and will reveal them shortly

Gear9992 · 02-07-2009 6:11pm

I heard you have to be 23 or older to go in during the weekend, is this true?

Would be pretty stupid for a nightclub in a university town.

mp3guy · 02-07-2009 6:22pm

If you think it's stupid, it probably is, and subsequently probably untrue.

barleybooley · 02-07-2009 7:46pm

I don't think it's as high as 23 but I have heard a figure for 21.
From what I've been hearing, people are kind of divided as to how successful they think it'll be. I'd say it'll be packed with first years (who'll never have heard of the LA *tear*) come September and will have no problem paying in.

sickpuppy32 · 02-07-2009 7:51pm

it'll be packed the first few weeks no matter what, might even draw some of the "time" crowd from naas.

First years are what, 17/18/19 on average, the club is over 21's, no first years will be in it.

I'd say it will do crap, cover charge and over 21's, LOL.

mp3guy · 03-07-2009 6:32pm

Was talking to some staff there today.

They're gonna be strict on the over 21's rule until September, then they'll lift it when students come back.

It's €12 in.

Mrs Leigh · 04-07-2009 8:54am

Hi Guys I know its not what you have been talking about here but I was at the opening of Mantra last night and was shocked at the way I was treated I only had two drinks down stairs We went to go up stairs when we went there it was crowded so we waitted after a while with my husband we got to the door and this tall girl in a black dress looked me up and down with a sneer ie Im to fat in her mind to go up stairs and told me in her words that I was to drunk to go up the head of security seen the look she gave me and heard what she said and told her he was the f**king head of security and I was not drunk that he made the decision not her I was so angery and so hurt everyone seen and heard her I went up stairs and the music and lights died five times that we drank my third drink and left on going down stairs I met the manager and explained how I felt about what happen earlier he was going mad he wants me to go to them and have a free meal on them but that not what I want I want her to be sorry for what she did to me.
My question to you guys is what would you do if you were me my husband wants me to go to the papers also last night a lot off people were told the couldnt get in cause the were to old now I did hear that myself Im not making it up let me know any way what you think cheers

one girl had a power trip and was given out to by others. there is nothing to go to the papers about. Take the free meal, believe me, the management will make a point of it to the woman in question. She will be disciplined about the incident in question then.

Errr disciplined for what. Being of the opinion that the lady was drunk. Read the post as best I could bearing in mind the lack of punctuation, She has her own opinion of why she was refused. Doesn't mean it has any basis.

From what I read of it she wasnt let in because she was too fat, now aside from if it was a health and safety issue (blocking fire exits etc) I'm pretty sure that qualify's as discrimination, and she would be entitled too sue.

But i'd imagine its a bit of a drastic route to go down, take the free meal OP (sounds like you'd enjoy it anyway teehee).

barleybooley · 04-07-2009 8:43pm

Off to PI with you! Or Ranting and Raving. I want proper dirt and celebrity gossip from the opening!

Cool_CM · 04-07-2009 9:11pm

Looks like they're deleting comments from the facebook page, must have been a bad night!

Came up on my facebook that a few of my friends had been tagged while at Mantra so I had a look at them but there is all these people where in the way and I cant see anything :rolleyes:

Some had taken a photo of the queue and it reminded me of the queue for the LA on a Monday night during Rag week when I was in first year.

davrho · 05-07-2009 12:15pm

I went through from Lucan on Friday night to give Mantra a try and it was well worth the visit. Forget everything you ever knew about the old LA this place is on a different planet.

Due to the queues i had a few beers in O'Neills first then headed into Mantra around 00.45. It was free entry, the bars handy enough to get served in and a pleasant experience. The decor is as good as i have seen in Ireland and the atmosphere was great. My only problem was the heat but i have been told the air conditioning has still to be commisioned.

I stayed in Maynooth overnight and had a few drinks in the bar on Saturday afternoon. Again i was impressed. We sat is the gardens and it was enjoyable. I am not a smoker but the garden where comfortable enough. Most the mates smoke so this was a plus for them.

Well worth a try folks. I will be back for sure.

I dont think students are the target crowd to be honest. Forget the old LA drunks tag. Not a fecking hope of that crowd being catered for.

Getting home could be an issue with so many folks coming in to such a small town. Rumours are they are going to run busses from local towns to ease the strain. I did spot around 4 coaches parked at the college entrance with plenty of folks boarding them around 3am.
