Just be told that The Front Lounge is the name of a gay bar up in Dublin, so the new place will have streams of inquisitive customers in

I'd like to be able to buy a pint of peanuts. I think €4 would be a fair price. The bar could keep a big bag of peanuts behind the bar, and put in a few scoops into a pint glass.

If I was out with my friends I'd be more inclined towards a pint of peanuts, than buying those little bags.

Any photos of the interior? I'll prob give it a go next weekend.

€1 bag would come to about 1/4 of a pint anyway! Genius! If I was drunk thought I'd be sure to try and drink the pint of peanuts...
I'd describe the interior as Geoffs/Muldoons with some candles.

Although when I realised the bike was gone from the wall I was sad.

AdMMM

I'd probably try drink the thing!

I often get those Sahara nuts in Geoffs. One tub, or packet of peanuts just isn't enough for me. I feel sort of strange asking for 2 or 3 tubs of the Sahara nuts. I'd rather just one pint, and it would satisfy my salty needs for most of the night.

I'd say it would be cheaper for the pub than the individual packets, maybe more messy though. Also you don't get your fingers sticky if you drink the peanuts from the glass

My daddy told this is how peanuts were sold in olden days.

Down it in one

Gardner, there is a very good reason it was deleted last time. You can't come on here and start bad mouthing people (true or not) it leaves us all open for action. Please do not do it again. I have deleted the posts involved, any questions PM me.

south

many taxi's running last night or did they all go home ?

MitchKoobski

Looks like Ruby's is gonna be two floors. Spotted a big Muldoons-Esque stairs going from Ruby's Lounge up to the club yesterday.

ArtVandelay76

How,s the front lounge going since it opened, didn,t get a chance to go in there yet.
Anywhere you can see what bands they have playing in there at the weekends?

ziedth

^ there is a facebook page if ya search for it. I was in there with a few of the boards lads last weekend. It's was a great laugh. I'd say they'll do well with ruby lounge going down the old route of being part of rubys.

If you weren't prancing around the Forum in your suit, you would have heard us all talk about that on Friday

ziedth

Fine suit though

Earlcatherine

Okay im new to this so i wanna get involved
Im heading toa waterford for college next year.. so is the nightlife good?

ziedth

Now no, but by next year it'll be to being ok. College nights are always good so I wouldn't worry. Students are like the A-team stuck in a warehouse with a shell of a car, Ducktape and firelighters and they'll turn it into a nightclub

Chris P. Bacon

So the big sign says 'The Foundry' is opening up in March 11,aka Ruby's.

ziedth

Is that the name of the other place they own?

On another note, I passed Muldoons on Friday and poked my head in the door and they seem to be doing serious work in there.

Yeah that's the same name as the foundry in Carlow.

abouttobebanned

Strange decision.

Musicman2000

And will they be in for a serious shock when they open in Waterford, they better start sending a few bus loads down from Carlow

abouttobebanned

They've pretty much hired everyone from rubys so they'll let them know what to expect

I hate it already. If they wanted to open a nightclub called the Foundry they should have put it in Bilberry.

Who thinks of these stupid names? Its about as bad as calling John Street, the 'Village'. At least that one went out with Tweedy.

Why not give it a cool name, like "Dayshah's".

Sully

I would be thinking they kept the name because they target students - and there would probably be a lot of students who know the name.

Its also probably being used as a brand name - been in Carlow? Expect the same in Waterford. Hence, the name.

MitchKoobski

The Ruby's name is sinonimous with the centre of town, changing just seems a bad decision.
What sounds better,
"Ruby's has re-opened bigger and better than ever!!"
or
"The Foundry is now open!"

To be fair,Ruby's is a stupid name and The Foundry is too,the name i think should be decided on what kind of club its going to be ,like the sign says something about clubbing,so will they have top DJ's and if they do then something like 'Insomnia' would suit.

I agree Ruby's was a stupid name too. I think its ok to name it after what it is known colloquially as. So if it was a foundry in the past, it would make sense to call it the foundry. Insomnia would be a decent name.

Musicman2000

Its like chain clubs in the UK, they are a brand name, that why they are calling it the Foundry, It will be the same music wise as rubys, masons and escape, commercial crap thats their target market, another club for the kids to go to
