Blubambu

Hey
What are yer thoughts on Blubambu? I was there last nite and thought it was quite good actually!

Dimitri

Its absolutely brillent on a sunday night but the same as anywhere else the rest of the week imho. It should have some good student nights there when college starts back up i reckon, but its nothing special, i still prefer the savoy, and better than that spending the night in the brog!!

What is Sunday nite like? The music and people?

Dimitri

`Music is a bit of a mix, did you ever go to sunday nights in redz? you'd get some good dance rock and a few intresting ones like wacko and dire straits than some house music followed by whiskey in the jar. usually not to crowded but busy all the same, generally very few muppets, and no absolutely-plastered idiots getting sick in the jacks!!

The Brog can have it's charm occasionally.

Personally my memories of FX are far too strong to allow me to go into Blubamu yet. Although tbh, I don't really go to clubs much anymore. Too many muppets in most of the Cork ones, and I don't have the patience I used to have any more.

What's the crowd like Dimitri? Standard Redz type crowd or something different?

How much is to get in?

Oh good Lord I hate that place with a passion. Like getting a free lollipop at the end of the night makes up for its crapness :rolleyes:

Depends on the night, personally wouldn't go in an asses roar of the place on a saturday night pure muppet crowd thursdays aint so bad and sundays are good. A lot of the redz crowd are in there but it seems to be getting some of the mangans/pav crowd so trouble there will be inevitable imo.

Hmmm. My memories of Redz involve a lot of muppets, poor DJs and hardcore dance music (which isn't my cup of tea tbh). Haven't gone there since it's face lift.

It just struck as I passed on a few night (I live near UCC so I pass it when I'm walking home from town some nights) that there seemed to be a high muppet level in there. Admittedly this would be more on weekend nights.


And don't knock lollypops!! Brings back good memories of Freakscene's of old in Henry's!

God thats going back a bit, indeed before i could legally enter such a premisis, sadly freakscene has gone down hill in a big way though dirty at the works did try to revive some of it this year. Ya music wise it has mellowed out from the hardcore dance of redz, however as I said before Sundays are good with a unique mix and is well worth checking out if your out and in the mood for a change from the usuall Sunday nights of curing the hangover and than bitching about having work in the morning

I was dragged along to BluBambu for the first time Saturday nights. God be with the days when it was FX and I was getting in with my Bank of Ireland sponsored fake ID. The decor and the renovations are quite good but the crowd was tres skanger. Music was a mix of chart dance, chart rock, chart pop. Overall I wouldn't recommend it. Clubbing in Cork has really gone to **** though.
