    cool, good to know you're showing Six Nations matches. We're hosting a gymnastics competition in Shoreline on march 20th so i'm sure there'll be some dads on the look out for a pub nearby to the centre to watch the Ireland V Scotland match.

    We hosted one on Sat & Sun last weekend, so hopefully you might have got some business from that :)

    Have to agree with jobless, dont knock it on the head just yet...
    I was in the Chinese take away the other night and noticed a sign about poker up in the wicklow arms... Very similar to whats been posted by yourselves..
    Still think €35 is a bit steep...

    You should start up a karaoke night with a free drink for anybody who will get up and sing. I reckon there would be enough people for that, that you wouldn't get the same person up singing twice. It would surely bring a crowd in. And it'd be a laugh :)

    A pub I know used to do it, and they were pretty much out the door whenever they did.

    One drink one song?

    You would have the same people up on the mic all the time.

    Never been to a Karaoke Bar where it was free drink, actually the opposite.

    It was great craic I have to say. Few pints, game of poker, and the organisers were very sound indeed.
    I think it was 15 or 16 people that entered in the end.
    Will be going back next week
