    Most of the clubs that are popular during the week with the students attract their fair amount of scumbags the weekend, well gpo and coyotes anyway.

    In terms of a club best stick to cps,halo or the roisin, none of them are cheap though.

    As for pubs, could try mcswiggans if you drink guinness with 3 euro a pint...besides that can't think of any of the top of my head that do deals.

    Try Hole in the wall, is supposedly cheap and popular with the student body.

    Why not if it is a nice day have a few cans down at the Spanish Arch and then head from there. Will save a few shillings for which will be robbed off ya later with crazy drink prices.

    SallyLongs in Abbeygate St used to do Fosters for 3€ I think, and sometimes they have vouchers for 1€ in some kind of free city event guide (might have that at library?)They also have bands/DJs sometimes. I haven't been there in the evenings for years tho.

    Sallys vouchers are still available but only valid Mon to Thurs... They don't do Fosters at 3euro but have a house brew for quite cheap, it fills the gap...:P

    I'm a student but would not set foot inside the place during the weekend.

    Cuba and CP's best bet I'd say. There's no deals at the weekend like there is during the week. And if there's a place with cheap deals then it'l be full of scumbags so best to avoid. Have a few drinks in the house before hand then head out if you need to save on the cash.
