Mad times is right......i can remember one morning in the ASYLUM & a very early morning shut down of the Rave & their was a load of garda in the place but we kept on going from upstairs to downstairs & back up again not really giving a toss about the garda presence at all looking on the floors for anything we could pick up on the sly & then exit the place.......you see by the time the place was almost emptied with only about 100 people left we presumed that they presumed everyone had dithced everything cause they wernt doing any body searches on anyone & people were just getting their sh.it togehter before they left so why not grab a few yokes or lump of blow before baling out........really didnt give a fu.ck about the garda them times.

I rememebr another mate of mine from walkinstown (Froggy RIP) was nicked with 50 pink mad bastards (shi.te yokes) up around SIDES but still came into the ASYLUM later on when he got out & had a blast.

Another mate of mine (Doyler RIP) used to cycle from tallaght all the way into the ASYLUM fairly regularly at 5-6am if the Narcs had run out at whatever party they were at just to buy a whole load of yokes & cycle back to tallaght eyes like saucers......how in the name of jaysus he never got pulled is a miracle.

yeah i remember that nite all to well unfortunately for all the wrong reasons as i was one of the ones who was lifted that nite,. Dickie Rocks daughter was down the station crying her eyes out, just my bleedin luck id a bag of 30 yokes (and my own personal stash) that i was supposed to pass onto someone else who hadn't yet arrived int he club when bang the music stops, lights go up and pigs everywhere, before i knew it im down Harcourt Terrace station in a cell and im coming up on 2 yokes (i double dropped about 15 mins before the raid) horrible nite, the pigs ripped the piss out of me something terrible they knew i was mad out of on yokes and tried to put the frighteners on me, ever since then and a few other bad experiences i despise the garda vermin.

But anyway yeah in general the Waterfront/Columbia Mills was deadly mostly Friday nites (thursdays were decent too)

Was only in it the once so.....was floating around town looking for somewhere after a pub i think & heard this and it was only just out i think,

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQUIBJ_jYTU

The big pounding bassline drew me in & i had a fuc.king class night as we went back to my gaff & slaughtered a bottle of gin & whiskey before the next day came round & we then retired to the cherry tree in walkinstown to melt into the furniture.........ahh they dont have pubs like that around anymore where they welcome the mad out of it heads with open arms cause they know you will be there for the whole day parting with your cash.

This tune epitimoses The Waterfront/Columbia Mills for me, one of the all time great Techno tunes.

I would have associated this with the ORMOND more my self but yes one of the all time great tunes alright.......i remember one night in the ORMOND it must have been on the two decks as it was played & mixed into each other for about 15 mins.

If one tune reminds me of a time or place,this tune is the one that i think of when remembering the Waterfront.It just sticks out the most!

Ahh dont worry Seany......dont think you would be that upset if you had seen it just the once......i only frequented the place twice as far as i can remember & bunked into it one of those times but it didnt have that cutting edge feeling to it like the Raves did.......it was more a place for the pretty people in pretty clothes to go & be confident that they wouldnt get dirty or sweaty........there was a few Ravers alright but it was more of a feeling of a Nightclub i got off it than a Rave & there was far greater things happening just down the road to be pis.sing a night away in a posers club (sorry if i offended anyone)

Thats absolute bollix - yeah you were less likely to get stabbed or a shotgun stuck in your face but to suggest it was somewhere to look pretty is horse sh1t. Pretty much every Saturday night in there ended up like anywhere else decent at the time with the best in music, drugs & DJs. Much of the crowd there on a Saturday tended to be in the UFO on a Friday anyway... maybe they arrived looking somewhat respectable but they certainly didn't leave looking that way. I vividly remember the feeling to be on the dance floor there with the best techno banging out from the likes of Billy Nasty... stink of vicks and olbas oil and the floor absolutely heaving with 'ravers' who did not give a sh1t what they looked like as they were off their heads dancing.

Yes it was more of a club but that does not take away from the atmosphere experienced and the weekly DJ line up in its peak from 94 to early 96 speak volumes of the quality of nights that were had there. Maybe you were there when the Club FM crew took over and drove the place into the ground.

Dirt bird

Have to agree with scubadevils,temple of sound was a great club with best names in dance music playing weekly with great local djs.I can remember when they had there first birthday gig on they took over most of the ground floor of the ormond hotel.There was a savage lineup inc.felix da housecat,phil perry,eric powell,rocky and diesel aswell as few others.There was no other club in dublin doing what they were doin at that time.

Yeah those nights where they opened the full hotel ground floor were unreal - I remember some blokes playing bongos around the reception area and tourists in the process of checking in while people hanging out chewing the faces off themselves! - mad actually that the hotel allowed that, not great for potential business for people staying there.

Eric Powell played some great nights there... I remember Rocky & Diesel the first time they played were unreal but the 2nd time was really poor, to the point where lots were asking Ken (the manager) to get them off - the music was just too light.

I have to agree, whilst the Temple may not as been as intense as say Sides or the Asylum i cant recall ever having a bad night there and there certainly weren't any posers (the POD was the place then for posers)

I think this is old ground gone over again here & as i have said time & again im sure people had great nights wherever they were & i mean no offence but it just wouldnt be anywhere close to the top of my list of venues from the past.....i mean planty of people have said on these threads that the ASYLUM was a knackers hole full of aids ridden heroin junkies & viscious scumbags & also that i personally must have my brain fuc.ked from to many E's & i probably have aids from sharing needles in the ASYLUM etc etc etc etc...... but hey people are free to express whatever they like it doesnt bother me in the slightest because it doesnt take away from the experience's i had, enjoyed & remember. Sure if we all agreed the world would be a very dull place & it only adds to the banter anyway:)

Mmmmm....I am still a little unsure now cause i know for sure i used to go into Columbia Mills on saturday Nights & Francois & Timmy would be playing & we called it the WATERFRONT, not sure at all about UFO but that still leaves ALIEN unanswered as to where that was or if it was the same place

I always knew it as either Columbia Mills then the Waterfront. I thought UFO was another place but then heard it was another name for Wasterfront/Columbia Mills
