Night on the Tiles

15-12-2010 3:10pm#1Hi Guys
Have just got settled in Waterford but haven't been out on the town yet.
What bars/clubs would you recommend for when my girlies come up to stay?
One of the girls was in college here for 3/4 months. She said Ruby's was good for man-hunting but I hear this is closed now? I have no idea to be honest.
Thanks in advance

Maybe not 'hunting' as such. Up for a bit of fun though
My girls definitely will be, man-eaters the lot of them

I'm guessing that from your comedy posting style, Dignity might be a gay bar?? 0 -
If its men yer after I'd stay away from the city centre pubs.
Hot spots for real men would be the following:-
The Candy Store or Bradys in John's Park where you can hear Eddie Rowe belt out classics like There Goes My only Fornation, Ajapay or On a Heel
Garveys on Ballytruckle
The Yellah House on the Cork Road
Paddy Brownes in the Lisduggan shopping centre
Ryans on Barrack street (use be Cha O'Neills)
Any of these will fulfill your needs - real men - real beer bellies:D:D:D:D:D 0 -

What's the age group OP?
19-23
Beer belly guys aren't exactly what I had in mind. If you can't fit in a pair of skinny jeans, you probably aren't what my girlies are looking for.
Don't bother promising a jumbo if you're only going to deliver a cocktail jimbo
Just two more sleeps before the weekend gets going

Could have sworn this thread was about tile shops earlier on!
Anyway, Nightlife in Waterford is currently going through (what we hope to be) a re-invention. The only nightclubs that are open at the moment are (in no particular order, lest I be accused of favouritism);
Masons - Aggressively targeting students with special nights (e.g. €3 Thirsty Tuesdays) with decent bands downstairs and a club upstairs which has recently upgraded their sound system to something that makes you feel like you're in the middle of an earth quake at times.
Harvey's - Historically expensive and for a while was one of the only places in Waterford to have a door charge. Great smoking area which also has a cocktail bar (Skittles come highly recommended). I'm really not a fan of the dancefloor though. Seems to be just stuck in the corner of the place and just looks odd.
Escape - An extension to the gastrobar that is Revolution. You can really make a night of it here with food being served until midnight (although admittedly I've never seen anyone dare order a steak at 11:55). They have some great cocktails here too and the club is just up the stairs. Have bands playing downstairs regularly too and when they have the entire place open i.e. Escape club upstairs, the Basement Bar downstairs and Revolution itself, it's very impressive with something for everyone.
The Forum - Located at the top of the town. Traditionally an Indie club on Saturday nights but has really found its feet since launching Decades in the Lounge part of it downstairs. Only open weekends unless they have bands on (e.g. Villagers last Monday night).
I've enjoyed myself on nights out where I've ended up in Dignity too. Pole conveniently located in the middle of the floor too so you can show off (or in my case, fall off) in style. Lots of themed nights there as well so if you want something different, it's a good bet. Not sure if they have a late license on weekdays.
The Kazbar and the recently opened Front Lounge (not named after the gaybar in Dublin ) also have late licenses on the weekend with the former trying to be all things to all people in a limited space while the latter is going after those who want to see a decent band and listen to decent music afterwards.
You'll also have The Woodman opening up this weekend, it's an old mans pub (and I mean that in the nicest possible way) but I always made sure to include it in any pub crawls I was on in town.
In the first half of next year, you'll have the new Rubys open, branded as The Foundry, and I'm guessing that the work they're doing on the pub across the road from it (formerly Muldoons) will also be nearing completion.
Finally, just as an observation and I don't mean to belittle our lovely little City here but why the move to Waterford? I'm trying to best to get out of the place!0 -

Hi Guys

Dignity - gay bar, popular with girl night out too
Kazbar - (across from Geoffs) large pub 3 levels of different music. usually crowded
Geoffs- great place, good mix of people but can have some pretentious / 'im too cool for school' people in there including the bar staff
I think rubys pub is opening up again after renovations this weekend. good live music usually
Forum - still in city centre but will probably need taxi to and home so make it last place if you decide (will cost money, not much, as its a nightclub), good buzz down there. However, Coronas are playing in one of the rooms saturday and its sold out, there or a couple of other rooms there though.
Basically, there is a good selection around john street village.0 -

dear lord... what has the world come too?? skinny jeans? really?!!?
a real man would not be caught dead in a pair of them!! they are for little boys that spend more time in the mirror doing their hair than anything else.. if you handed them a screw driver they wouldn't know what end to hold..
this has made my Friday 0 -

Tonight is the night
Hoping for a mad weekend. Usually is when we all get together though!
Thanks to those who gave genuine advice. Really appreciate it. I think I managed to figure out which posts were 'wacky' responses
Curious as to whether there's any place that's a bit 'exclusive'? Thinking along the lines of a VIP type area over a dance floor maybe? Don't mean to be snobby or anything by the way.
Oh, and Heathen... :rolleyes:
A modern man keeps up with fashion and can wear whatever is 'in' and be comfortable with it. If a 'real man' is one of those bearded labourers who like to show off their disgusting arse crack, you are welcome to them. You should probably run along and have the dinner ready for your 'real man' anyway honey. Surprised he allows you to use the internet to be honest!
