    Hey lads.

    Anyone been to that new late night bar/ club, cocoon? Seen ads around the place, looks good. Hoping to give it a go tonight. Sick of trooms and angel lame. Great to have a bit of competition for them.

    Without sounding like a smartarse, you are aware its a gay bar right? its toilets are also mixed, so you'd be sharing toilet space with women (or men, not sure which you are)

    Its a nice enough place alright though

    Nice try, I fell for that once before, never again. The shocked face on the woman as she exited the cubicle will stay with me forever.

    the last time i was in a gay bar with my ex i was asked to leave because the bar man told me im clearly not gay.............................. was kinda insulting to be honest. i was there with mates who where.

    but now that im single it would be kinda pointless or confusing for my mates if i started going to gay bars.

    im not a biggot are anything i just have no use for a gay bar when im looking for women:D

    Thats a bit strange - wouldnt have thought it would have been an issue unless you were doing something wrong.

    Wouldnt go there if i was with mates (as you have said, whats the point) but went with my gf and her friends so didnt think much of it. None of the gays had any problems with me being there. Neither did the bar staff.

    I have to say, that was the worst night out I've had in such a long time. I didnt realise this was a gay bar at all. Now ive been in gay bars before with friends and i genuinely have no problem with the fact that it is a gay bar.

    I realised that it was after a few minutes inside. (Nice place b.t.w.) As we were sitting down with our drinks I was approached by two men.

    Imagine the shock I got when I was told "GO WAY YOU FU*KIN STRAIGHT BEFORE YOU GET YOUR SH*T PUSHED IN BY THE FILTHIEST QUEEN IN LIMERICK" :eek::eek::eek:

    I literally got up and left straight away. Im not saying anything bad about the bar itself because i was genuinely enjoying myself up until the incident. But I have never been spoken to like that before. I almost had a vom scare i felt so sick:(

    I went in there and I found all the guys in there very helpfull and accomadating, if you catch my drift.

    so glad i dont have to go to angel "lame" anymore scouring the floors for a whiff of a gay.

    angel "lame" has to have the worst layout of any club in ireland.. it has more twists and turns then a john grisham novel.

    I'd have just burst out laughing there and then.
    Plain and simple.
    How can you take somebody who'd say something like that seriously like.

    Speaking as a completely 100% hetrosexual guy, who has spent some time working in nightclubs that were gay on certain nights of the week, I can say that there is no need to be self concious, or afraid if in a gay club.


    Is there a chance that someone will hit on you?
    Yeah, if you seem available.

    Will they accept no?
    Yes of course!
    Same as most straight people will.
    Women having drunk men hitting on them in clubs have a much harder time.


    Will there be assholes acting like idiots?
    Could be, the exact same way as there will be in any nightclub, gay or straight.


    It really is as simple as if you act all self concious and paranoid, you will stand out like a sore thumb, and will draw attention.

    Don't go to a gay nightclub just to have a craic, or to say you've been or anything like that.
    But if you are going with some friends or anything, just act like you normally would on a night out with friends.

    It's just a nightclub afterall!

    You'd swear the way some people went on here that "gay nightclub" is a cover name for homosexual orgy.
    It's not. It's just a nightclub with gay people.
