Copper Face Jacks..How does it stay open so late?

sasta le

Anyone know how this place seems to be the only latebar/club ive seen in the country that opens later than most

Altho the Gaiety Theatre i think had a 4am licence one time


Has Coppers a hotel licence or some old ballroom licence

Sergeant

Whelans is staying up until around 3.30 on Saturday Night/Sunday Morning these days.

Blame the guards for not shutting it down.:rolleyes:




it obviously has a special licence.

The government granted them an extra late license in reward for managing to keep all the arseholes of the country in the one place.

Why would Dublin Vintners try to contest one of their own being allowed to serve late? Makes no sense.

Makes plenty sense if what they are doing is illegal, anti competitive and unfair on their other members.

If Coppers can stay open till 4am and even later then why do all other places close at 2.30/3am?

CucaFace

I might be wrong here but is it not owned by an ex guard or something like that?

Someone once told me this was the reason why it was open so late.

I have also wondered how they get to stay open later than others.

But then again doesn't Bucks and other wine bars on Leeson street also stay open later then most as well?

You're presuming it is illegal. They might just have a licence that allows them to stay open that late.

That what im trying to find out

I didn't presume anything.

I think the legitimacy is what is trying to be established. I can understand why too, seeing that most other clubs don't stay open that late. Either they can't get the license or the have no interest.

It has been raided recently actually, just too many ppl there to take names and addresses lol. Some dude with red on his shoulders and lots of cops. I left fairly fast and didn't hear the outcome

I'd say if he had a connection to Coppers he'd know the outcome??? :rolleyes:

I heard that dublin is the only city in Ireland that Can get this sort of Late license, When i was living in Galway they tried to extend the 2am late bar but to no Avail.

I assume places just don't pay for the extra 2 hours late bar as they don't take the same income as they do for 12-2am.

The way its stated makes it sound like Coppers does get raided as in they are treated the same

nothing to do with guards, it has a licence same as bucks, leggs etc.. chip about the guards on a lot of peoples shoulders around here.

Don't they stop serving at 2.30am but stay open til 4am?

fwiw licensing hours in this country are a joke; ****ing everyone out onto the street at the same time when they're scuttered isn't the brightest of ideas.

Let pubs/clubs close when they want tbh.

tbf it annoys me too when I'm in the queue and see a group of 5/6 lads rocking up and flashing the Garda badge to skip it.

GPA heads get in for free + skip too afaik.

I was in Galway for my hen weekend recently we left the night club at closing time ( i presume about 2:30) went to the chipper and found coyotes still open on the way back to bed - went in and got served another 2 drinks - i think it was after 4 before we left so its not just coppers!

Corruptedmorals

D2 do this also, just across the street. More clubs should if possible, it alleviates the horrible mess at 3am if people have more time to drink stupid amounts in.

Why dont you ring them and ask them if they have a special license?
