    Meh. I still goto the odd gig in Fibbers, mainly when my mate is playing, and one or two other bands. It's a hole, but compared to Bruxxies it's a good laugh. Cheaper drink, and more eye candy.

    Long long time ago.Must be about 10 years or even more.Management wouldnt pay for it to be investigated so they shoved bottles of air freshners into the hole until the smell disappeared.

    No Stage. Just a small space beside the Pool Table. Unlikely to be used for gigs they say.

    I quite like the gigs I've been to in fibbers, usually get a good atmosphere

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    Fibbers at the end of O Connell Street has held some pretty good gigs on their small stage, hopefully the new place will have a few gigs

    In my opinion, fibbers on Parnell street is the best venue in Dublin. The sound has improved immensely in the last while, the beer's cheap, it's in a good location and there's plenty of space.

    Only bad point is the positioning of the door to the beer garden right at the side of the dance floor, but I suppose that can't really be helped.

    speaking of rock clubs/venues...am i right in the assumption that the old voodoo lounge has been replaced by that card club for good? kinda liked the lounge as a venue for small metal gigs…

    Was there last night for a few brews with an old mate.
    Good spot overall, nice staff, good beer not too dear. All round good place, except when it gets packed, not too great when it's packed, but then again nowhere really is.

    Definetly a good spot to drop into if you're ever around that neck of town.

    @Angry Troll, yes the voodoo is never coming back, it's an internet cafe/card club. I was talkin to the old bouncer outta the place, he misses it too :(

    Was in there on Saturday night. Great craic. Good cheap beer and sound people.

    Also was pleased when the stupid hair metallers' playlist stopped (it was ALL Manowar FFS!). Was followed a few hours later by some Down and Dying Fetus so I was happy....But by then I was drunk and would've rocked out to anything.....cof....within reason.

    They have a local beer on tap, Murrays. Nice and only 3.30! They're doing pitchers of Staropramen (spelling?) for a tenner. And Guinness all night was 4.20. Bar staff are bang on and even though the place was quite full I was never waiting ages to get served.

    Was in about 2 weeks ago on a friday or saturday, can't remember which. I enjoyed myself, it was great to have a jukebox that has some class tracks on it, ya can't beat two pages of Morbid Angel and Emperor ! The place was clean and well kept too.

    They didn't have any drink promos going when I was in, as said before they were selling a Czech beer called Murrays (:pac:) for 3.30 which was alright. Bar staff are sound, a mix of new guys and staff from the old fibbers who are bang on. There was enough of a crowd to have a good buzz about the place too which is always welcome !

    The jukebox reminds me of the one in bruxelles.. but with only say 90% of the tracks.

    The bar staff seemed sound indeed and the place has a real feel of bruxelles about it.. which i presume is the market they are going after

    Somewhere inbetween Fibs and Bruxies would be nice - I don't wanna listen to Manowar all flippin' night, I avoided Bruxies for that reason :rolleyes:

    Well from personal experience its to weed out the scumbags (the other fibbers is 21s also), its just to give the bouncers the opportunity to say no if they dont like the look of you (ie if youre in tracksuit and trainers say)

    Yup. They didn't pay their music license, so they're no longer allowed to play music there.

    Aye, and it works a charm. And I know a few 18 year olds got into Fibbers, so it'll be the same in Fibbers2.

    As I said its not over 21s, its "Over 21s" (sarcasm is difficult to type) .. only when it suits them. Scangers and scumbags not allowed in but emo kids are it seems :P

    Last night was my first time in Fibbers 2 and i gotta say i was very impressed. Arrived in just after 19.00 for a few pre-gig pints and it was pretty quiet. Was back there by 23.15 after the gig and the place was hopping. Loads of people there,a wide variety of tunes on the jukebox and service was very swift. Top marks from me.

    And the best thing,easy,they're not robbing bastards like bruxelles and you just have to walk out the front door for a smoke.:D:D
