    It's been a long time since I've headed into Mullingar for a drink or seven...
    But after all the messin with college I think I've had enough of different parts of the country so I'm back to Mullingar -This is a very depressing time of my life, time to hit the drink.

    Is Mullingar still a bad spot for a night out?

    yes yes yes and yes........

    i get sick of it very quickly, suppose depends who you out with, but mojo's you'll get sick off, music in fence ain't great sometimes, temple bar.... was good when you were young, but too small......greville has good music and is good craic but nobody will go there!!

    the druids is always good for a bit of craic, cross bar if your a GAA person,

    Mullingar you will easily feel old in after goin to college..... mojo's is like a creche!! same stuff over n over every week.......

    Mullingar ain't as good as the craic you would have when u in college......

    So this is a depressing time of your life?
    well believe it or not, you may NOT have learned this in college but drink is a depressive so best of luck with your drinking...

    Mullingar is a great place, well except for weekends when you see hundreds of tanked up people making a nuicence of themselves after a night on the batter...

    If you are depressed then see a doctor, else it looks like another student with no money moaning they cant afford to get pissed and may even have to look for a job.

    excuse me if i sound harsh but i lived beside students in a housing estate in maynooth for 4 years and have no respect for them at all...

    Yeah, it sounds like Mullingar is pretty bad alright... You seem a bit agitated B@ndit. But I know you're right too, all the tanked up wasters make themselves known at the weekend. And yes, drink does cause depression, that's why it's best to refrain from such a level of drinking...

    I have to say I think Danny Byrnes is a great pub, fantastic atmosphere in there these days. Apart from that I'm not sure, haven't seen any similar establishments in quite a while.

    As some who lives near the town - i can say it is a really bad place to go out- very clique crowd - theres such an agressive atomosphere in the pubs and clubs - thats not to say that I've seen that many fights there - but theres just something about it that I'm not gone on at all!

    As a Cork person who has to visit Mullingar every second weekend, i think ythe Greville is OK. I go to Caffreys myself , its nice and quiet.

    Hope I'm not putting my foot in it here, but I'm one of 2 resident Jocks for Le Louvre (Greville), and its usually a good night. Recently, new lights were installed, and a good mix of young and mature (not old) folk go there. You have the bar to hang around in IF you don't want to go into the club - 1 admission price for all (free before 11pm I think too).

    If you're into modern music e.g. R'n'B, dance (but GOOD dance that you can DANCE to, not just hop around like an idiot!), and old skool stuff, then thats what we play in the Greville on a Saturday night.

    Crossbar is mainly for GAH (Gaa) heads as far as I know , hence the name "the crossbar" - but never been in it - could be wrong

    Crossbar in Mullingar is run by a couple of the Westmeath Football Players. Known as a GAA Place but ventured by all. Mixed age group go there. Have extended the Bar Area. Music on a Saturday Nite. Not a bad place to go know of worst places.....:p

    I have heard what you play in the Greville. It is a disgrace. A DJ is supposed to be influentential, educational & original. Not someone who can't mix the formulaic crap taken straight from the charts & compilation cds. Learn to scratch my friend...

    Found out from someone else it was the night of Saturday 19th. I was on holiday that weekend, and the guy who usually covers me decided to try his hand at using his new laptop for the gig that night. Needless to say his eagerness preceeded much experience before that night, so he got many a thing wrong! I won't name and shame him, but he knows better now! :D

    The Crossbar mullingar co.westmeath is one of best pubs in the town,it takes in a mixed crowd of people from young to old day and night. the transformation of the pub from its original state to its present day is a credit to its owners westmeath footballer Brian morley and footballer and pop idol wanna be dermot mullen. the outdoor smoking room is one of best around and boasts an outdoor bar with plenty of heating for those cold nights, its a trouble free great atmosphere pub and cleanliness is second to none.Staff are also excellent and plenty to keep the ball rolling
    Entertainment in the pub is always great at night with DJ Dermot mullen and jukebox harry i recommend this pub to any one with a bit of humour and not the ones that carry the sour puss on there faces 24/7 and could definitly name a few of those in mullingar.
    FOOTBALL IN WESTMEATH MAY NOT BE GREAT BUT THIS PUB MAKES UP FOR IT ALL. pic of dermot:cool: pic of brian:D

    Mullingar is a great town to live in and go out in..i;m there 5 years and i can't wait for the weekends to come so as to hit the town. anyone who says mullingar is boring blaa blaa, has a clicky crowd etc..blaa blaa thats a load of rubbish. ye obviously don't know how to go out and enjoy yourselves and don't have friends. if ye don't like it, then please stay away. mullingar has a huge selection of pubs with something to suit everyone. i stand firm on this. students, stay in college if thats the sort of immature lifestyle you prefer rather than maturity and becoming an adult. mullingar is obviously much too grown up for some of ye...
