    Friends aren't going out because they're saving for a wedding/house, or she's pregnant, they can't get babysitters, they've gone home for the weekend, got made redundant, had to take a paycut, or are end-of-month broke. Either way, I can't really go into town to drink on my ownio. I'll be sad and have a drink at home on a Sat nite.

    Crap music - usually R&B rubbish that I can't dance to.

    Pubs are less packed, so less chance of meeting people/fine things ;):cool:

    Price of mixers - my faves are vodka/gin & tonic or voddie and lime, but I am not paying 6-7 quid for such drinks, so I normally order a glass of wine.

    Seats - if I'm in high heels, I do not want to be standing all night.
    I need a seat!

    :)

    Eh I have to say that ALL pubs in Dublin are Shi*e and the further away from Dublin you go you'll find proper pubs which have

    1) Normal Prices
    2) Pool Tables
    3) Jukeboxes
    4) Areas for bands (So they aren't blasted all over tha place)
    5) Great selection of beers
    6) Toilets that ARE hygeinic and don't have someone in them selling stuff!

    Actually, table service in pubs would definitely be a plus. They do it abroad and it's so much more relaxing than having to queue at a bar for ages.

    I worked bar for a couple of years and before I graduated to working the taps n till, I did floor work, including serving drinks and collecting glasses in a pretty busy disco bar. It used to be the norm in almost any bar and I'm surprised that it still isn't in all but the most upmarket places...

    Excellent, White Feather. I was in The Gravediggers years ago and the old part is one of the best pubs I've ever been in. They even had Tayto Cheese and Onion and bikes stored inside the pub. It's time for a return!

    So, now we have two pubs in Dublin without a TV:

    Grogan's (South William Street)

    The Gravediggers (Prospect Square/Glasnevin cemetery)

    Anybody know of any others?

    It hasnt changed a bit ( the old part )! Dont think they are allowed renovate it. And if you feel a little peckish during the day, yummy food too!

    * Before anybody asks, I dont work for them!!!:)

    Too loud. I want to have a few pints with my mates without having to shout at them.

    Too crowded.

    Possibility of having to deal with scumbags.



    So, so much easier to just have a few tins at home and stick on a few dvds.
