Poll works \o/

Doctor DooM · 09-01-2011 02:13PM

Also was in the Grand Social last night and the music had an awesome range. From the National to Nine inch nails. Was really impressed.

If we went there, we could also go to the gaming centre place around the corner beforehand for a friendly game of something i can win.

Is that genre range or alphabetical?
Cos if it's the latter it's pretty weak...:p

Hooray to both those bands!

stupidusername · 09-01-2011 02:17PM

Not much point in me voting cause I don't know most of them places.and i'd be voting for all.

:cool:

Well you have been to GR.

And a quick google search/trolling through the other thread may help provide opinions on the other ones. They are all good venues for different reasons. Except doyles. Someone needs to burn that place to the ground.

Doctor DooM · 09-01-2011 02:21PM

From a purely selfish point of view I'm kinda sick and tired of the bull and Castle. I must have attended 20 beers there with Boards at this point.

For the record i like GR....we are just unsure if we will have to pay in on a saturday night.

Paying in = noc-bane

Doctor DooM · 09-01-2011 02:57PM

Yeah if we're bringing loads of people who're going to drink all night we're not paying in anywhere.

Back when there was boards wide beers, this was a rule, and it's just as valid now.

Maybe someone...cough in ireland cough....should give the place a tinkle to ask

RolandIRL · 09-01-2011 03:06PM

well i've no idea of what these places are like, so i won't bother voting. if i make it to the beers though, i'm probably going to need directions to wherever

Most of them are within 2 mins of the ha'penny bridge. No worries.

And you ARE going.

RolandIRL · 09-01-2011 03:14PM

Why do you guys hate Doyles so much. Seats, good music, central... I can understand people preferring other locations but there's oh so much hate here. I'm confused.

Ah the tables are always wet and its full of students and the cider is never good. Ive had good nights there. Just too few.

stupidusername · 09-01-2011 03:51PM

Don't worry whitey I'll help you out

It's always *almost* time to go home when they play "Smack My Bitch Up"

anonymous_joe · 09-01-2011 06:46PM

Beer and nocs, you say?

Been a while.

Rather tempting.

RolandIRL · 09-01-2011 06:47PM

cheapest room on there is €18, where's this €10 room?

It's fine. A bit of a trek away from any where we shall be drinking though.

ahaha. the reviews are terrible.

lawl

I went into the bathroom in the basement level, the mens room was being used as a drug den, so I went to the womens room. One toilet spewed black water, one toilet didnt have a seat, and a couple was copopulating in the last one. I was doing this because the one in my room was worse...

RolandIRL · 09-01-2011 07:04PM

i don't fancy a bit of a walk tbh. reviews are funny though

the bus stops in Burgh Quay somewhere. i'm terrible with dublin. i've google maps open in one tab looking all these places up

stupidusername · 09-01-2011 07:46PM

whitey the one i stay in is on bachelors walk, which is just off o connell st, very central. it'd probably be 18 at the weekend though.

anonymous_joe · 10-01-2011 01:16AM

Bitter experience has taught me that when it comes to hostels, always pay the extra tenner for the one with the good review.

RolandIRL · 11-01-2011 12:16PM

booked my bus last night. only cost €2 for a return

Baggly · 11-01-2011 12:23PM

Shweet. Any update on where you will stay? If others are going too it might be good to have a group. Hell, id consider it too cause a hostel is cheaper than taxi and sometimes the bus too....

RolandIRL · 11-01-2011 12:27PM

haven't a clue yet where to stay. still looking at hostels.

Baggly · 11-01-2011 12:29PM

That avalon place you asked about is fine btw....its not next door to the venues, but its down the road. 5 minute walk max. Let me know anyway.

RolandIRL · 11-01-2011 12:45PM

i've plenty of time to book it. i'll get it done this week anyway. there was a place i stayed before for a concert, but i can't remember the name of it. all i remember is that it was about a 10 min walk from croke park and all the dorms were named after rivers of ireland (ie boyne suite etc). anyone know the name of it?

Doctor DooM · 11-01-2011 12:49PM

May have to strategically vote for whichever non bull and castle pub is looking likely at this point
