    I heard Shortts are doing the proper Mojitos (ie: RUM, mint, crushed ice, caster sugar, fresh limes, and tonic water), must try them some night, but they'd want to be fair savage to compete with my home made, fresh ingredient Mojitos!!!

    I hope this is true, ever since I got hooked on them in Coyote bar in Prague I have tried them all over town and have been let down every single time.

    Always end up on the mojitos when in there, proper rum based ones, rocket fuel !

    I've been going out in Waterford for nearly 3 years now, and I can honestly say I've never seen so many scumbags/travelers out as tonight.
    Foundry was absolutely full of them. Seen 4-5 fights broken up on the dancefloor alone.
    Then afterwards there was more war outside Subway/Hillbilly's.

    There was a strong Garda presence so they were obviously expecting trouble.

    ended up in the foundry coming near the end of the night after harverys:D
    wasnt as good as normal mostly students spending there well earned grand i believe. i dont know many scumbags/travelers who go to college but i know a few fellas who have the appearance of been rough simple because they do body building and boxing training..... seen a few fights but they got ****ed out i hope

    harveys wasnt much better walking in at half 11 seen the bouncers shoving people onto the rood through the emergency door regardless of traffic:eek:

    3 euros during weekdays (or sun - thu, I think). Fair play to the staff in there, great cocktails. I think I've been in there for one everytime I've been out the last few weeks.

    Without doubt they've been kicking ass with their cocktails since they opened.

    What kind of time does Shortt's get busy at on a Friday lads? I haven't been there yet and am heading out with some people from work on Friday week. Looking for somewhere to start, preferably in town. I was thinking this might suit? Like would there be a bit of a buzz there on a Friday night?

    Every where is quiet on a Friday night, you could be looking between half twelve and one, The Foundry might have a few in with their drink promo, if you don’t mind having a few with scum and kids, Masons must be quiet with the crowd across in their crowd across in the Foundry

    Yeah I suppose I'm not too worried about a crowd as there will be a few of us in it (between 5 and 10) but would like somewhere decent. The girl whose leaving night it is doesn't like Geoff's so that's the usual starting place out so just looking for an alternative.

    Not going to be near The Foundry though. The group ranges from 24 to about 44 so not really suitable! We usually go to The Front Lounge later on.

    Yep that's pretty much what I was thinking although I'd personally leave Mason's out of it.

    Think we might start downstaris in the Kazbar, then either head upstairs once the band starts or over to Shortt's, then down to The Front Lounge for a couple of hours.

    According to Facebook, everything is still €2-50 in The Foundry. Someone asked about the "FROM" on the poster.

    If you stick to pubs that have €3 a pint and then hit Harveys/The Foundry on drinks promotions nights, it's nearly cheaper to drink in the pubs than it is to have a house party (when you consider you'd probably spend €20 on a box of beer for a party).

    Prices would be great for pubs too, as already mentioned.

    The Exchange, up in Ballybricken is €3 a drink all day every day (as far as I know).

    Am I right in saying Harveys is regular prices on Fri/Sat but is €2 a drink (and a fiver in) every other night that they open (well €2 in some student nights)?

    €2 in and €2 a drink on a Wed in The Foundry. €2-50 on a Fri + Sat for a drink and €5 in. What about Sunday in The Foundry? Is it normal prices? I'm not a major fan of the place but you'd put up with it for the cheap drink.

    It looks like a definate switch in tactics
    It's a sutle but major change in wording.

    So I doubt it's ALL drinks €2.50 anymore

    Yeah it can do, but we don't really have a club here as it was part of a complex that closed down

    I'm not a fan of Harveys by any means but what I what will give them is the lack of scumbags in general that go in there. At least at the weekend.
