Funnily enough the most melodramatic ones are big huge rugby-playing 30 year old men. Go figure.

Tis our melodrama and don't you be trying to take it from us.

I work in a pub aswell and its an old school owner my cousin is looking at taking it over in the future so have an interest in it

I f*cking love the pub.

But then again - I just go to good pubs, not those sh*tholes like Capitol Bar, Fitzsimons etc in Dublin.

Holes-R-Us.

Other than prices, don't blare that tv or stereo, its a turnoff!

Be creative, don't always stock Guinness, Heineken, Carsleberg and piss Bud. If you are going to stock these, clean your frickin pipes, too many ****ty pints have been served on these type of drinks in too many pubs. A pub with a good selction on tap or in the fridge shows creativity towards the customer in my eyes.

And have some ventilation in the pub, some pubs have no A/C and they smell of stale sweat no matter what time of day. A beer garden is a plus, nothing better than than fresh air while sitting out enjoying your pint rain or shine.

Yep, one of the best things about the smoking ban is pubs making an effort with beer gardens and covered areas, nothing nicer than sitting outside away from the loud music just chatting and laughing.

1) moved close to work. €25 taxi home from city centre.

2) going to the freezer, pouring vodka, getting back to my comfy couch without getting my drink knocked or toe stilletoed is a big plus.

3) always bog roll in my place.

Given the wide selection of pubs in Dublin, there is plenty of everyone. Price is the only reason i dont spend as much money in the pub as I used to.

Does any one else see a hole in this logic???

Size=everything

(1) close too early

(2) Don't play music and if they do its ****e

(3)If its a good bar its always uncomfortably packed

(4)Too expensive

(5) Most bar's service is really slow because they are only used to being busy Saturdays

(6) No door policy (on most) so you can have everything from ugly people to old men and scummers

Theres 6 pick any 3

The fact that almost every Irish pub has a male / female ratio of about 4 to 1.

The fact that almost every Irish pub plays the same **** music we hear on today fm day in day out. Mind you, youll hear people say 'jaysus, whats that ****in ****e' if someone has the balls to put on a song they like on the jukebox....

The fact that its rare you get a nice pint of Heineken or Carlsberg. Its common to see barstaff swirling pints around while pouring in an effort to get some bit of head on the pints.

Look i'm not being pedantic but thats the same reason being repeated thrice

The price is by far the biggest problem.

They close too early.

The service is often poor.

The music is so loud I can't have a conversation which is why I'm there in the first place.

Few reasons I don't go to pubs all that much, not all apply to all pubs.

Poor atmosphere/loud music.
Poor quality pints/inconsistant quality of pints.
Staff are incapable of pouring a pint properly.
Too warm.
There are other people around.
It looks like what a hick would like the inside of his house to look like.
I hate cold beer in warm glasses.
I would like some real ale.
The bogs are minging.
Live music annoys me.
Lack of decent smoking area.

Yup, classic. A bit of up and down action along with the swirl leaving you with a flat pint with a two inch head on it.

With all those risk factors it ain't worth paying what they're looking for.

Poor service, over priced drink and the fact that when enjoying a drink I don't enjoy being shoved around. Getting a seat in most pubs these days is a pain in the hole and if standing you are almost guaranteed that every one who passes will knock a little more of your pint out of you glass onto the ground.

So why'd you burn it down? Crappy toilets or you just didn't like the music?

1. I've seen what goes on in the cellar having worked in pubs many years ago. so Their are very few drinks #i would drink in a pub.

2.The toilets, I don't want to catch anything.

3. Opening hours, I can drink at home all night, I cant in a pub.

pikachucheeks

1. Staying in requires much less effort.
2. Not able to chat to friends due to the loud music.
3. Lack. of. talent.

On the flip side of that:

1. Its fun to get dressed up to go out.
2. You have all week to chat to mates
3. And there is in your sitting room?

IvyTheTerrible

1. Music too loud/crap
2. No seats and high-heels =pain
3. Disgusting toilets
4. Expensive drink, no decent wine
5. People bumping into you, spilling drink

Much prefer having a few drinks with my friends at home, you can listen to music you like, loads of space, good food, cheap etc etc
