Worst Pub In Drogheda

shacko

I Drank In a Pub Called The Stags Head In Drogheda last night. It was Horrible, Horibble pints, Horibble decor, Horrible Ugly Inbred People. What a creul and Unusual place. Where is the Worst watering hole in Louth. I was in Winters aswell out near the bridgeford what a sh1thole. Must be where all the inbred knackers and theving cnuts from moneymore go.

klong

shacko

These looked even more inbred then most. They were robbing each other and the till blind. Anytime the bar man left they were straight in to the till, or pulling pints or robbing stock.

Sound like a nice high quality establishment for a few drink at the week end. Gotta remember to avoid that place if I’m ever unfortunate enough to go out in Drogheda.

Yeah I was in that pub the Stag's Head. It was once too often. Many of the tables are not much better than school desks. Mind you, you do have some OK pubs in town. I'm not an expert in such matters but I do know that Foley's (on the Mell road) is normally ok albeit by Drogheda standards. But surely there are a couple of decent establishments in the whole town?

Try "O Sheas" however it will be quite busy / loud! So if your looking for a quiet pint i dont recommend!

shacko

O Sheas yes thats on the upper main st. A mixed age group, upstairs is quite young, whereas the ground floor seems a bit more mature! But overall proberly the best option in drogheda!! Whatever suits fits thats wot i say!!!

Cant comment on the mariner as i was never there! Reds is another option somewhat similar in style to O Sheas though

shacko

Someone was telling me about McPhails ANd McHughs what are they like

I was out in drogheda a few times and thought it was great!

I went to o sheas (they are very strict on id so I don't know how they would let 12 year old in, WTF?) I think they are strict because the back of the pub backs onto the garda barracks.

I went to redz which was very nice. Cellers was nicely decorated also and has nice cocktails the crowd is very young though.

Bridie Macs was the other place I was in, it's in the hotel in the centre of the town. I found that nice aswell.

Maybe you could try some of those. Where u from urself?

Just wondering because my ex works there now.

o'sheas -dump for 15 yr old knackers on the weekends. **** loud music. During the week its bearable.

McPhail - loud poser pub. Alright beer garden. Good bands. Depends on a lot of circumstances to be good (sunny, empty)

The Mariner - not bad, older crowd, nice decor.

McHughes - ok. only front bar is open at the mo'.

solas - nice pub when you have a seat, crap pints but nice erdinger or anything else in a bottle. Great bands and comedians.

The black bull - bit far out from town but nice. This weekend is their celebrating the 1st anniversary of their beer garden which is lovely. Good trad-ish band on tonight "Harafish" free entry!

Gleesons - cheapest Guinness in drogheda €3.30 last time. huge beer garden. Good music. odd but nice crowd. unofficial late bar to the right sort...

cairbre's - best pub in drogheda, maybe even the world. Not sure if anythings goin on there tonight but on sunday night, tuesday and wednesday night there's singin and music. Traditional pub. brilliant craic if you're up for it.

Fusions alright nightclub-wise. Anywhere else is a cattle-mart but whatever floats yer boat

Nickibaby*

Where abouts is cairbre's? Never heard of it, might check it out next time i'm up that direction.

Was never in fusion but the people I went out with said that is was a dirty place. I dunno if that's true or false.

I was at that other nightclub 'earth' thought is was great!

calam

just ask someone in mchughes or sarsfields where cairbre's is if you're up that way. Its along the quays-ish.
Fusion is a dirty place but its more fun than the other places because it has a big beer garden where you can chat with other people rather than roar the heads off them inside!
earths a cattle-mart!!!arf arf ....but can be good of a thursday

Wow. :eek: That's pretty much my local. Never seen any trouble in there in years. Nice pub for a quick drink on a Saturday night before heading into the town. Gets a good crowd in for the football matches. Friendly bar staff etc.

Cairbre's is a traditional Irish pub with some good sessions. They used to have an Irish speaking night as far as I can remember which was good craic.

Redz. Not too bad especially if your a smoker as they took the roof off for us.

The Star and Crescent is a late nite bar that's not bad if your looking for a bit of music and late drink.

The Railway Bar. Up from the train station doesn't close ever! :eek:

Bensons Lounge Bar used to be a dive but I'd never go in so can't comment.

Black Bull Inn. Drink is muck and service is poor IMO.

Bridie Mac's recently got a face lift. Ok pub. Live music at the weekend. Not there in a while.

Bridgeford Leisure Centre. Kip.

Clarkes Pub. Nice if you can get a snug.

Mariner: Bit quiet at times and can be hit or miss because of this. Nice spot all the same. Great for the footie. Surprsed at the mention of trouble in this pub someone said earlier. Reckon it was a once off as I'd say this is one of the safest pubs in town.

Redz: Its the spot for smokers with the 'topless bar'. Downstairs doesn't attract the crowd that it used to but this is only due to.....

Baracuda(formely Bridie Macs): The place in town at the moment. Well worth checking out. Smokers not too well catered for though. Form may be temporary...

Star and Crescent: Great spot to finish the night for a late drink. Unfortunatly everyone seems to have the same idea and it can get over crowded due to this. Good all the same....

McPhails: Hate the place with avengence. I can't understand its attraction...

Teach Cairbre: Like being back in School. Speaking English is frowned upon.

Storm: Catlemarket.

Earth: Cattle market for young people.

The Laurences: Good for pool but some of the clientel cann be a a bit dodgy.

Trinity Arms: Again another good spot for pool. Never really know what age group this pub is aimed though.


Sarsfields: Early house. Nice beer garden but a pity about the people who go there.

McHughs: Nothing memorable about the place. Renovating a beer garden at the back at the moment so when this is finished it might be worth going to.

Black Bull: Bit out of town. Bottles recommended as the pints can be dodgy.

O'Sheas: For the kids only. I reckon they have an upper age limit.



Think that is most of the covered. Anything not mentioned probably wasn't worth mentioning....

Have to say i hated the marier when I Lived in Drogheda. Especially the Ginger bar maid that used to work there about two years ago. She was like a Viris when I drank in Reds she worked there, Wheni stated to drink in O Sheas she started working there and when i started to drink in the Mariner she started drinking there. Bloody Gingers

LFCFan

Solas is pretty good. Usually end up in there any time I'm out in Drogheda. It used to be the (Sc)Abbey Tavern which was the underage drinking capital of Drogheda when I was in school there. Big improvement since it's been Solas.

I would like to revise my post. The worst pub in the srea has to be the Trinity Arms. The place smells. The bouncers are smokies. The pints are p1ss. Truely a hive of scum and villany the likes of which never seen before

Cute_Mandy

The stages head is at the back of Dolans at the top of Harmons Gardens,
that place should be shut down long ago all the pints in there are uffff...

Most Pubs in Drogheda are bad anyway so you will get that all over Drogheda.

~Leanne~

Yea most pubs in Drogheda arent really the best. I like the Black Bull on the Dublin Road and Barocco in the Westcourt.

@ CCD - i have to say i like the Trinity Arms, ive been going there years. Ok the crowd can be a bit "chavvish" but there is never any trouble or fights (ive yet to see one and im drinking there near 10 years!) I find everyone very friendly there both customers and staff

It's not really. The guinness is great there and the craic's good too.

What are you lookin for good craic or a nice clean pub full of sh!theads?

My favourite Drogheda pubs are
McPhails - nice people and a nice pub
The Laurences - lovely food and downstairs is nice, free platters on a friday night

Solas - chilled out pub, good comedy night there too

I hate Fusion with a f*cking passion. What an absolute DIVE of a place. The owner apparently gives back-handers to the fire officer in Drogheda so he can let in way more people that he's allowed to. ANy time i've gone there it is impossible to go anywhere other than out to the beer garden, and it can sometimes take 5 mins to get out there, down a 10 foot corridor - because the toilets are on either side.

Totally illegal in terms of health and safety.

Also they play the same music every week and the CD player skips all the time. What a dump!


Star and crescent nightclub is much nicer although still not fantastic

~Leanne~

Agree with ya there about Fusion! I near got a panic attack in that corridor during the summer!! Its not right!
I hate the inside of it - just looks like a big shed!

I forgot to mention the Laurences - great spot - food is gorgeous! Cellers great for the cocktails

:eek:

I lived in Drogheda all my life, and drank in all 47 Bars in the town. Including ollie's, The well and the morning Star I have only ever exsperianced trouble in two bars The Cellers\Lawrences and The Trinity. They are Chavetastic and Know NOGO areas in the town. Recently had a tour of the new and improved McHughs and it is gonna be one hell of a spot
