I know for a fact they bought muldoons and oxygen too! they told me in the interview for the foundry! 3 million they spent on it and omg it looks amazing in there and def cleaner then rubys!! lol

Everyone knows they bought Muldoons, you don't need to have had an interview to know that.

The place is what, a week old? Of course it's cleaner than Ruby's. Give it a couple of months though (and a couple of hundred students pissing and puking all over the place).

I like the way you said rubys was badly run:)The foundry has the same manager and assistant manager as rubys had:DWhat does having more cameras got to do with how well a place is run?A place could have a million cameras and still be run badly couldnt it?

Are you aware that there are forms of punctuation other than the exclamation mark?

Any of my mates who've been in there have had nothing but bad things to say about it. The most positive response I got was from a girl in work. "S'alright I guess..." was the best she could say.

Bad drink prices, no promotions, fights breaking out, stuff being nicked from bags and staff not giving a toss about it. I've also been told some poor guy got the crap kicked out of him for kissing his boyfriend in there.

Not exactly sounding like better quality place they're trying to force it to be.

what's the age group?


most places in waterford will only play the chart stuff I'm afraid though

The Basement is a regular dance club with the worlds biggest Djs playing and Irish ones too.

Forum upstairs never has chart stuff, downstairs at the Forum is the same, usually live music

Front lounge has bands and good music after it, Geoffs has no chart stuff.

So that leaves Harveys, Masons, foundry. Dignity and kazbar
.... Wouldn't call that most places..

I'm not getting good reports back either I'm afraid. Makes no difference to me I won't be going in any event. It's fair to say that it would be more polished then rubys was but Luke the lads say give it a few months.

Anybody got a quick idea how all the late bars are getting on say last night? Is anywhere looking more quiet then last time.

The Kazbar and The Front Lounge seemed to be pretty busy last night. Having said that, I was in The Kazbar early in the night and it seemed like most of the crowd were there to watch the match.

Harveys was as busy as any saturday was before the foundry opened.

I was in harvey's on friday night and it was dead. A bouncer told that "it'll fill up at one" but wasn't even half full all night. I was upstairs in mason's before that as had never been in there and can honestly say i'll never be ein there again. What a kip - we got plastic glasses with our drinks which i don't think was an environmental measure from the owners

I HATE plastic glasses. Outside of a concert there is no need for them. If I see a place using them I must admit alarm bells start ringing.

They seem to be asking for abuse on their Facebook page.

"who's looking forward to Dj liam tutty from beat fm tonight. Entry just 5 euro."

A Carlow company looking after a Carlow DJ. Nepotism much?

abouttobebanned

Just sticking with what they know. No law against that really.

kkdela6

what we must remember is that for every person that doesnt like the commercial chart music they play in these mainstream clubs, theres about 40 others that do.

the forum is definitely the best club to go to in town music wise imho. does anyone remember the indie club they were running in oxygen for a while before it closed down, think it was called panic or something?

AdMMM

They chose the worst possible time to run those Indie nights in Oxygen. If I recall, not only was it horrifically advertised but their first night was run on the final weekend of Electric Avenue being open AND on the night where Traffik were running their Traffikfest. Not only this, but it was late April, early May when they were all being run which is slap bang in the middle of college exams. Suicide to run such nights!

Mpower85

i misstyped what i wrote before! its a good spot thats all im saying! think its much better then ****ty escape!! hardly no one in there anymore !

Elbows22

I had to laugh at the way the took down comments for "Bad Language" but when one of my mates put up "The Foundry is f***ing class" they clicked the like button within 5minutes haha.

Also to take note that 80% of the good comments saying how great the place is etc is people that work there

Mpower85

elbows there were about 500 people in there on sat night! i like the place it isnt cos i work there!

Elbows22

there was twice that in Harveys lol

Mpower85

im sure ya!!

No law against it, and I guess I can't blame them, but the suggestion on this thread is that they will have done all their homework and if that led them to choosing a two-bob DJ from Beat FM, then I don't lend any credibility to their research.

abouttobebanned

Not research so much...just using people that they are comfortable with from their time in Carlow. What annoys me though is why they advertised the job. None of the DJs they have applied for the job and I know of at least 5 people who applied for the job, thinning it to be fair game, and didnt even get a mail or phone call acknowledging receipt of their application, if you already know what DJs you're going to hire, then don't advertise the job.

That in itself is a silly move as all the DJs you mention will have quite a network of friends and associates, and they will have heard negative things about the Foundry before it even opened.

Looks like there damage done already to The Foundry, its closed Tuesday nights from now on.
