    Well they are pretty strick on shoes apparently so no cons and no vans I presume so that only leaves dress shoes really, so if in for a penny in for a pound with the suit methinks.

    I'm hoping it will be like Capital, they will not let me on a normal night but for the last few Boards beer there, I've told the bouncer I was there if it and was let no questions.

    This is it!!

    But think I'll only get the €5 if the person who registers buys something within the first 3 days of registering :/


  • Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 18,381 Mod ✭✭✭✭Solitaire


    Can I have a final clarification on what you need to wear to get into Lafayette? Dress shoes mandatory I guess? What about the rest of you? Would a respectable shirt + trousers/not-blue-jeans get you in or would you be stuck needing a suit or designer stuff??!? :eek:

    Once you are not wearing a tracksuit and runs you should be fine.

    I'll probably be wearing Hoodie/TShirt, black combats and New Rock boots.
    Since I only have one suit and I'm not wearing it to the Reddit Meetup .

    Referral links? For a competitor of Boards Deals? Thanks guys :(:p
    (referral links aren't allowed on Boards in case you didn't know - they're advertising).

    The more I read about this LaFayette place, the less inclined I am to want to go. Any place with a "dress code" is an instant turn off for me, so I guess I'll see you all at the Wolfie Beers in July.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,746 ✭✭✭✭FewFew


    It was probably a poor choice of venue alright. But we'll see.

    Shiminay, I think if they give use hassle over dress code we will all just move else where at noted at the start of the thread.

    Ah, I thought the ref codes were a grey area since there is a few DropBox ref thread and similar on other sub-forums.

    There are some forums where they're allowed and limited to one thread (Health and Fitness I believe and the afore mentioned stuff on Drop Box).

    Anyway, I may make an appearance, my boots look reasonably passable for shoes :p


  • Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 18,381 Mod ✭✭✭✭Solitaire


    My Reeboks don't :o They look respectable enough from a distance being nice and black, until the light catches that silly little silver stripe on them and reveals the truth :(

    Ugh... looks like shoe-shopping for me tomorrow. Which is not fun if you have 8.5D feet! stupid sweatshops trying to save on material by making shoes long and thin!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,813 ✭✭✭BaconZombie


    Note taken.

    If they have a problem with boots as least you will have quality food wear on for kicking them up the whole....

    Has anybody been into this pub?
    Do they act that much like Nazis on the door or are people going by the name/site while tries to make the place look fancy?

    I went and had a brief chat with a doorman at the beers venue a while ago, he said that Sat nights are usually busier, therefore stricter with entry. Dresscode is smart to smart-casual (jacket and jeans with shoes is ok for guys, ladies if they want to:p), trainers usually frowned upon (even my black and dark grey k-swiss I had on were a no-no) and the minimum age they like people in there would be 23+...but they will make exception to that rule if there's only 1-2 of a group that are under that age.

    Hopefully that'll help some folks.


  • Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 18,381 Mod ✭✭✭✭Solitaire


    Ugh. My friend might not be going as she also lacks dress shoes and is even poorer than me :o

    Woooops!! I is sorry didn't know :o

    Yeah I know it aint the usual Noc thing but it's originally the Gentlemans Club beers and I just spread the word as I want all the nice folks I know over different forums to come to it and amuse me :pac::pac:

    But sure it's something different and if ye do decide to pop yer head in that would be great :D

    Oui! It aint a poor choice of venue....just somewhere different than usual. It's gonna be a grand night. Couple of hours of Kings then all them cocktails be mighty :p

    Ya don't need dress shoes though(well boys kinda do but girls have more choice)....does she have high heeled boots or thick heeled boots that can go with jeans to make them dressy then throw on a funky top.

    I dunno, strict on age and strict on dress-code = poor venue for a beers for a diverse set of people. It could all be great of course, but as a first choice I'm all like "say whaaat?"


  • Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 18,381 Mod ✭✭✭✭Solitaire


    It would probably be a class venue if they get off their high horse once you're in there drinking... it sounds more like the place is highly anti-chav more than anything...

    Well it's a new place which is trying to make a name for itself by not turning into a wino hobbo joint :pac:
    Plus the majority of folks in tGC club are kinda in their 20s and well above and it wasn't a first choice it was voted on in a poll :p Folks want something new!

    I simply put the word out so that if others wanna come they can :)
    They aint gonna refuse ones who are under 23 if anyone here is under that age just make sure to go in with ones older. Basically on a Saturday night they don't want the place filled with 18yr olds that's all, they don't mind the odd few. :pac:

    Those of us meeting for the Kings game in the hostel beforehand are all about 25 so folks can land in with us.

    Just bring ID folks cause they gonna be checking even if ye 30 ye may look fierce young :p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,448 ✭✭✭✭Cupcake_Crisis


    Well Im only 21 and don't wanna risk not getting in so which one of you old folks wantsto chaperone me?

    Yeah if you come to the predrinky then me and others should be heading in together with you :)

    Ah, just get some cheeky naggons for pre-drinks and then no doubt people will be randomly buying you drinks in the place. There'll be so many Tuddle cocktails floating about sure :)


    Cause Spoony will be 50 and still picking up hot 20 year olds. He has the gift.

    I remember the days when three cocktails wouldn't have me on my ear, I miss those days! :o:(

    And there's no way I'm playing Kings with spirits! The last time I did that with Team Drinky was the week after I had food poisoning. Spectacular sickness ensued :eek: The old adage holds: Vodka was a bad choice :pac:

    Besides, don't want to be half-drunk when we try to get past the Lafeyette bouncers! :eek:

    How is Tuds getting in anyway, given that she'll be off with another gang for half the night IIRC?

    Actually no I won't be popping to that other bar now, my ankle may be on the mend but it aint fully sorted and I aint gonna be walking about all over the show on it. Full intend to spend most of the night sitting! So shall be Kings then straight to Lafayettes to try and fit in 6 feicin cocktails......

    I have flashbacks of the blackouts.....not really the actually blackouts themselves but of realising I was missing many hours the last time I was on cocktails :pac::o

    I'm guessing you're not familiar with Cavan rules... pretty much every time you do something successfully EVERYONE takes a swig :D Its only when someone forfeits that they're supposed to slug the vodka... or stand in the corner. The second is considered worst because then you're not drinking :D:P Not to mention the amount of liquid that's needed for drawing a Number 2...

    Ahhh no see this is where Cavan goes wrong. No point chugging like mental or excessive. It's suppose to be steady the whole way through, half way there and ye drunk and so end up drinking more anyway, plus ya have more fun! Never feicin play it with Longford lads though....jaysus they are a bit mad altogether :pac:

    These days if I ever happen to get toooooo drunk(rare) while out I simply sneak away and don't tell anyone. SneakySneaky drinks....sneakysnkeay departure :cool:

    Its not excessive chugging, at least not when most of the drinks in question are 5.3% alcohol rather than 40%! :p And you need something to wash all that hard liquor or unchewed mini-muffin down! :D

    I don't know what was in it but I'd just met the young lady and felt I should pass on the offer. Still the drink was thrust into my face and after getting a whiff I knew it was something I didn't want to be a part of...and certainly didn't want it to be a part of me.

    Smelled like alcoholic feet.
