November Beers Meetup

wispyman

Hi all,

This thread and poll is for a November beers meetup. Anyone wanting to organise some other kind of event should make another thread for it. This way I think it keeps things simple.

Assuming that there is interest in this idea then we can agree on a venue nearer the time!

Thanks wispy, less complicated than my poll :D But why do you only have 2 weekends to choose from?

The reason for that was to allow plenty of time for voting and also to keep it simples (like the meerkat suggests)!

Anyone fancy going for dinner? With the dine in cork thing this week?

Cadyboo

Dinner next weekend, Saturday maybe??
Myself , Mudokon and Wispyman so far, anyone else??

Blitzkrieger

Are you all going for drinks after? I'm working weekends again so I don't think I'd make dinner

yeah!!:D

Right so where would people like to go, Ill write up a list of the ones in the city and we vote, if we cant get our first choice it will be the 2nd, or 3rd, etc.
Augustines Rest, the clarion.
Bullys.
Cafe Mexicana.
Clancys.
Cornstore.
El Vino in Elysian.
Fenns Quay.
Greens.
Isaccs.
Jacobs on the Mall ( went there last time)
Jacques.
Kudos at clarion.
Liberty grill.
Luigi Malones.
Mint at the Macau.
Puccinis.
14A.
Scoozis.
Boardwalk.
Flying Enterprise.
The Club Brasserie.

Now in my opinion for things like these I think it is best to go to a restaurant you would not normally go to, so you can try their food for cheaper.
So my choices would be, El Vino and Jacques in that order. So if everyone who wants to go votes asap and Ill ring tomorrow!!

LenaClaire

El Vino or Jacques sound good to me

Cadyboo

About 8

I probably wouldn't be able to make it out until about 10. Working weekends blows...

I'm sure there will still be plenty of action going on still. Come out for a few pints and help represent us East-Corkonians!

Cadyboo

Ok so it seems only myself, mudokon, jujibee and wispyman are up for sat night. You still all able to make it?

LenaClaire

Yup

mudokon

I'm still on for this, I seem to be coming down with a bug but should be okay by the weekend. Only have to make it through tomorrow and I can stay in bed to get rid of it.

I don't care where we go either. Good idea phoning early as the film fest is on this week too.

The flying enterprise will have a DJ and BBQ every week from this week on,:cool:

So Cadyboo tried to book restaurants today but a lot were booked out. She managed to book these 3 the following times.

El Vino at 6:30
Scoozis at 8:30
Jacques at 9:15

My choice would be Jacques as El Vino is a bit early and Scoozis is just burgers & pasta so a bit of a waste of the Dine In Cork promotion.

There is also room for one more person as the tables were booked for 6.

Wispyman, hope you get on and read this as we didn't have a contact number for you.

I don't think Cadyboo can do Friday and we have to keep her sweet as she organised everything.

If this is still the case I'd like to come, Jacques' menu looks interesting

Make a decision damn you. :P

Sounds good I'm putting you down as a vote for Jacques.

Wispyman pm'ed me and he is okay for whatever the majority want to do. I'd be okay with either Jacques or El Vino.

By my biased count it's 2 & a half points to half a point for Jacques/ El Vino. I may have to pull the wild card in for Wispyman. :P

Seriously though El Vino or Jacques would be fine with me.

What can I say banana and chocolate bread and butter pudding had me doubting my decision.

Jacques wins as Cadyboo will be cancelling the other places later.
