Waterford's Nightlife megathread

Aislingrivera

Personally I am delighted. Not for Waterford it's a terrible blow for the staff and the regulars but from what I can see they had it coming. They took all they could from the banks and from us the tax payer and I dont think they would be loosing any sleep if it was any of us who were in trouble. As I said they had it coming karma's a bitch eh lads.

It's hard to know what's going to happen next in the city.
Is there even room for another big venue, compared to a year ago the Waterford night life has dramatically improved, there is a lot of variety now, but I can see the cheap drinks being the downfall of a few of them.

its easy to sell cheap drink when you rent for a pittence and can walk away any time. the kazbar, revolution, the foundry, harveys all have morgages and yet have to compete with the likes of mason and shortt
which are owned by the banks.if were not careful waterford nightlife will be controlled by nama

Thing is though does whoever owns the places make a blind bit of difference to us and anyone else who goes out? I'd say the majority only care about their night out and care little for who is making a profit.

Except that you're wrong about the Foundry. It is rented too.

I don't know with regard to Oscars, but sale agreed does not equal sale complete.

There could be issues with financing?

Have to agree, it doesn't matter who owns it once a good night is had

Strange, they had a playboy night tonight and drinks were 2 euro, as was entry, i think they're grand for the moment for us, but i wouldnt be surprised to see the prices rise or the enrty fee be 5 euro all nights

Replace pot with urine and yeah good idea I didnt feel safe in the house so I got some protection just have to catch them doing it. The guards have been on the street while it was being done before so its pretty much up to me to try and stop it. I reported it and I was basically laughed at lol

In reality tho if i soaked them with water, you would be sure next time there in town they will do damage. I would prefer have a friendly chat with them.
