    It used to be the Viper rooms, it's a Metal/ Rock shop now.

    Friday and Saturday night they have a band on downstairs from ten to midnight, with a DJ from midnight to 02:30.

    All drinks are €4 until midnight, usual stuff.

    More live music upstairs.

    Its all on their facebook page.

    The Gypsy is a decent rock/metal bar. Check out the acoustic gig on Monday nights. Good combo.

    It markets itself as a blues and rock bar but sometimes the music is terrible. I mean i've heard coldplay being played. Don't generally head in myself.

    I'd be very surprised if you'd hear Coldplay in The Gypsy to often.

    Lots of Slayer, Megadeth, Sabbeth, Metallica etc played last night, but no Coldplay.

    Was in there last Friday for first time. Being more of an indie man I was pretty nervous about walking up to the jukey to throw on some Stone Roses, etc....I thought the Who would be a nice transitional first choice to ease the regulars in though.

    Right, no more beating around the bush from me:

    My band plays a mixture of rockabilly, country, blues, rock.. Johnny Cash, Elvis, Steve Earle etc.. Acoustic guitar, electric guitar, standup bass, drums.

    How would the regulars react to this?

    I can see myself going up to one of the bouncers there and asking 'are you Degsy or Makikomi?' the next time I'm there locked :D

    Some of them might throw their hands in the air like they just don't care!

    Does it open as late as the old Viper Rooms?

    Used to be well handy for a late drink on the way home.

    I was stuck for a late drink on a Tuesday night recently and had to head to The Turk's Head on Parliament Street. It was either there or the Czech Inn.

    I think 4 Dame Lane still opens late most nights but I hate that place. Sh*te music and really pricey booze.

    Yeah you'll get a late drink in the turks head and the czech inn..dame lane can go and get fcucked,i'd rather die of thirst.

    You'll probably get a late one in Doyle's college st too although i havnt been in for ages.

    are they fashion skins, left wing or right wing? They come in many shapes and forms.

    They go around with their shaved heads, combats, doc martins, threatening blacks in temple bar, writing graffiti, kinda funny as the impression I get off them is they were bullied in school and decided to fill a niche market:D

    These are the younger lads maybe 21 and under, there are a few older ones that you wouldnt **** with, but thats neither here nor there, never ever ever seen any sort of skinhead issue in that bar, the net amount of hair in there is quite impressive tbh :p haha.

    So to answer your question, without being 100% Id imagine they are right wing skin heads, never seen a commie skinhead:confused: they do come in many shapes and sizes (usually Medium to small) and I dont know about fashion skins, but since they have little function Id say yea :)

    Gypsy is the more friendlier Rock Bar IMO, its more middle of the road that the others. Rarely see any type of trouble there, which is more than can be said for a another well known bar.

    Original skins (of which there are some around) wouldn't be right-wing. Just into the original late-60s skin look and into ska and reggae music - sometimes scooters as well.
