    I am going to be 18 next week and was hoping to go to the bodega next thurs to celebrate with a few friends but just found out that college ID is needed (which I don't have) and it seems to be the same for savoy on Thursday nights as well :/!!
    Can anyone suggest another place to go that is 18s wed/thurs/fri/sat night that doesn't require college ID?

    do you have a passport that you would be willing to bring out and keep safe?

    I've never in my life heard that you HAVE to have college ids to get into these places on a thursday night. is that not just to get a discount to get in maybe? never had any of that kinda thing when I was in college and I was out most college nights. Anyway havanas is probably 18s on a college night. I know the secret garden is always over 23s but the bottom floor is probably over 18s.

    You don't need a college ID for Savoy for definite and I'd be relatively sure you don't need one for Bodega.... Bouncers may ask for 2 forms of ID anywhere that allows 18's+ in though, so if I was you I'd have a bank card or something and then just try.

    From my experience, most places are 21's/College ID after around 10pm. Don't know about Bodega, however Savoy will generally let anyone in, even if it's 21's. (Unless you're male, not sure how that works.)

    A college id isn't even a valid form of id. The only valid id is passport drivers license or an age card. If the bouncer wont let ya in tell him you have a valid form of id, if u have 1 of them on you,. If he refuses entry get his badge number and tell him u will b reporting him to the PSA. Should change their mind pretty quickly

    It isn't a case of the ID being valid or not, week nights in Cork, particularly Tuesdays and Thursdays are student nights and its a house rule for almost all clubs (bar Savoy) to require a student ID. This is partially because there are reduced drink prices and reduced admission fee and management want to ensure its actually students availing of these offers. Its also to ward off 6th years coming in. Nothing to do with bouncers trying to be smart, its just policy for most clubs and threatening them will get you nowhere, except maybe barred for trying to be an ass.

    Would a pub interest you? I know its not your first choice but you have slim pickings without student ID, unless you'd consider going to the Savoy.

    It's not about valid ID. The College ID would be in addition to a valid for of ID. And at that, it would only be for huge college centered events that such things are done. The Thursday of RAG week for example.

    alright cranky head, keep yer hair on, I thought the OP was implying the need to prove he/she is over 18 as they said they will be 18 soon.
