Pav

celingfan · 07-02-2005 4:17pm #1

Anybody see the pav i think its ironic that its is reopened for LGB week and the place looks like a gay bar. I now once a most valued patron now will no longer drink there. The bit that made the pav was that it was a hole but a good unique hole unlike any where in dublin now its like a crap hole like Reds or Q bar what a load of discharge!!!!!!!

The PAv is dead, long live the PAv.

DrIndy · 07-02-2005 6:21pm

the new pav is weird - same staff but a flashier inside.

You always got nobs at the pav, but all you need are a bunch of rowdy engineers to drown them out.

Although its fair to criticise the inside (and I am not a fan of modern flash pubs) - its the clientele that counts and I hope the old regulars will start returning again.

Haven't seen this 'new look' pav yet. Must have a butchers this week. How bad is it?

DrIndy · 07-02-2005 11:03pm

its flash and modern, but only half finished with the side section for food closed off still, rendering it twice as crowded......

Personally I tend to hang round the SU shop in House 6.....

Haha, it's mad knowing that the person who's standing in front of you is by no means aware of your knowledge of their internet persona.

Kevin_rc_ie · 08-02-2005 8:35pm

Ah Denzilles! It's not that bad (or at least it wasn't a few years ago). The Gingerman or Mahaffy's were always my favourites.

Just had a sniff around the pav there. Did they actually spend 100,000 euro on that refurbishment? It seems to me that there was zero architural work done. So it's a lot of money to spend on cosmetics. The sofa is very, very, comfortable. They recovered the benchs and have cubic soft stools now. It's nice but jeez, for 100000 grand I'd expect to have a descent toilet fitted in. I heard some work was done on the ladies, this true?

If you gave someone a plot of land and 100,000 they'd be able to rebuild the pav for ya, how come this yoke is so expensive. I'd love to see the pav extended, go up another story and proper ramp accesss etc etc etc.

Yes, they were delighted at my performance. Oh wait, you mean the toilets.

lmao! classic

Kevin_rc_ie · 10-02-2005 12:57am

No ramp access and well said John2.Well said.

Agent Smith · 10-02-2005 1:37am

is the paper today ( i cant remember which one record or UT),
there's a article about the lack of access for people with special needs for the pavillion, intresting stuff.

uven the Centre for deaf studies has installed a ramp into 40 lwr drumcondra road, in lieu of the recent goverment bill,
for internal access, a lift has been installed,( great for the morning after the night you cant remember).

Of course buildings have to be assessed one by one around campus, i cant see where a lift would fit in house 6, for example, but in any new building on campus MUSThas access for people with special Needs,

Teleporters?

Agent Smith · 10-02-2005 1:42am

The Pav is a listed building they can't do that, any wheelchair access wouldn't provide access to the balcony, and a life would take up half the room. Also the Pav is a hole and I would object to college funds being wasted on 40 people to make it accessible, while cuts back are affecting every student.

Kevin_rc_ie · 10-02-2005 4:22pm

Ok, Thanks Boston for pointing out why they can't do proper restoration on the pav. But where did the 100,000 go? A I am right, DUCAC gave the Pav 100,000 over 4 years to improve the Pav. Unless a lot of work has been carried out on the places you can't see I'm still baffled.

Boston · 11-02-2005 9:31pm

100,000 is feic all considering what the Pav has made ducac. In building terms it wouldn't go very far. I would well believe what they did cost that. For the simple fact that it's a listed building adds so much cost the minute you try to do anything with it. Also 100,00 wouldn't rebuild the Pav, not in todays buildign market, maybe a million might do it.

Kevin_rc_ie · 12-02-2005 1:30am

boston just ur an engineering student doesn't mean you have a rashers about anything.

I dunno about the rest but what I've quoted there makes a lot of sense.. Since the pav gives all its profits to ducac, it's about time some of that money was recycled back into the pav. Doesn't mean I like what the did with it though, considerably the opposite infact.
