    There's no menu, but if you ask nicely, and don't want anything that's a hassle to make, you'll get one.

    Sex on the beach isn't a real cocktail if we're being honest.

    Made the mistake of going into the forum again last night.
    Paid 10 euro in at 1:50am, knew I would not get long drinking but sure what can ya do. Bought a drink on entry and sipped away till 2:05 where I went to get another and discovered the bar was closed. I went looking for the manager and demanded my money back stating that I had paid in for a late bar and thus should be entitled to a late bar. I was more or less laughed at. Was told some guff that a late bar only lasts up to 2am which meant one of two things, they were operating without a late license that night or they just wanted to close up shop early and get staff out quicker.
    There was a group of about 15 of us, none of whom will EVER be returning. Once again the place was dead, you would think that the few customers they had on a saturday night that theyd treat them with a bit of decency and respect.
    The disgraceful thing was there was still tills there so they could have served us but still refused to do it.

    Don't late bars only serve to 2 normally? They're open til 2.30, but that's to allow 30 mins drinkin up?

    Free in on club nights but next weekend there are two big bands in the club early so will be a fiver in. When the band are finished it will be free. (oasis tribute mad ferrit and soul reason)

    The music in the club I old skool and charts. The music in the bar is all classics.

    I went into crystal last night and also last Saturday night too. Each time I was wearing a light jacket over a shirt and was told I HAD to hand it over and pay €2 for it. I stated to the bouncer that I didn't want to hand it over and he could search me if he wanted to....his reply was quiet simple "if you don't want to pay the €2 charge there's the door"

    I paid and wasn't impressed but still had a good night none the less:rolleyes:

    That's a blanket thing in all the venues though. Remember all the bouncers in the town work for the same company.

    What's the problem? 2am is when they are meant to stop serving. You were only fooling yourself paying in at 1:50.

    Think so. But how come the ladies can keep their handbag? Its really just a way of getting more money out of people.

    I've had nights in the forum upwards of 50 times so far, and I've NEVER gotten a drink past 2am in there. Why ANYONE would pay into a place at 1:50am is beyond me.

    Been having great craic in Crystal and Shortts the last two weeks. Brought the lads in from Jackmead's on friday though and Crystal was closed. Bouncers didnt know why, but I headed into Shortts and drank my weight in SexontheBeach instead.

    So what is the official time a late bar has to stop serving on a friday and saturday night, is it 2.00 or 2.30?
    Was in shortts couple of times and they were serving away well after 2.00
    Do some places just decide to close it earlier to suit themselves rather than having to close at 2.00 a.m.

    well i was under the impression that it was 2am. But there are other people here who may be in a better position to confirm the time.

    I consider myself far too cool for cover charges, unless there is a band :cool:

    But seeing as almost everywhere will have a band this Spraoi weekend, what places will be charing to get in?

    Well first off, they are allowed to close the bar whenever they like. There's no law that says they have to stay open to a certain time.

    Secondly, several places around the city stop serving at 2am because that is what the licence/the Gardaí permit. Muldoons, Rubys and Masons, when part of the Tweedy Group were supposed to stop serving at 2am as well. Several places in Kilkenny have to stop at 1:30am (or used to).

    I've never in my whole life seen 2am closes, 2:30am everywhere I have ever been. My main point here is that if they were closing the bar in five to ten minutes then the fair thing to do would have been to inform me it would be closing and failing that refund me the money that I had paid. A pub should be no different to anywhere when it comes to customer service, I paid ten euro for a service they didnt provide, anywhere else you would get your money back.

    In fairness, even if they were closing it at 2.30, paying a tenner at 1.50 was a bit foolish and a waste of money.

    Of course I realise this but im not gonna sit outside the forum on the step with me lack when theres 13 of my gang inside am I? At the time i was happy to pay a tenner for 40 minutes of drinking, but paying it for 10 minutes was robbing me and no one can dispute that.
