YBIG Pub Spy

Fraziers Upper o'Connell Street

1. Atmosphere : After doing my upmost to avoid this place in checking out O'Sullivans and The Oval Bar first on assurances from Eire 32 and someone else that they had Channel 5, which of course they didn't ( I believe now you have to have the English Skybox to have this), I ended up back in this sh*thole. While you can always watch a game here, it's the loud mouth Italians that ruin things for everyone else with their ignorance towards everyone else. It's also weird with three to five different matches been watched by different groups at the same time.

2. Service : Very average. One person behind the bar and a joke at half time. Luckily iy wasn't my round when it was busy.

3. Jacks : Too far away but clean enoug

4. Chances of Scoring : Despite the fact that I was on the Northside, this is a blokes pub with the odd token bird accompanying their fellas. This is not a pub to pull a bird.

5. Quality of Jar : Very Poor. Learned that some time ago so resorted to bottles of German Beer of some description last nite. it's the safest thing to do here.

6. Pricing : Expensive. You will clear a Fiver for a pint and more for bottles.

7. Quality of Food : Very average sh*te cooked downstairs that's overpriced as well.

8. Smoking Area : There's a stairwell upstairs out the back with a view well skips and rubbish bins and the back of other buildings. Other than that, it's all the way down to street level and a view of junkies

9. Reading Materials : Bring your own and keep an eye on it

10. Music & Entertainment : None. Make your own.

To sum up, if you want watch a match on Channel Five and can't get it anywhere else, go here have a few jars and leave straight away.Celtic fans used to meet here but now go to o'Sullivans and it's pretty obvious why. The place is sh*te. Rating :

Thats my local, you can bring in your own food, plenty of papers for the geegees, free crisps, bacon fries, scampi fries & nuts, but sadly lack of talent, the barmaid (owners daughter) is a grumpy hoor

I will be conducting a weekly review of a selected licensed premises from now on..it could be anywhere from The Black Sheep in Coolock to The Horse Shoe Bar in The Shelbourne Hotel. I will rate each boozer in terms of atmosphere, clientele, staff, cleaniness, chances of pulling a bird, quality of pint and price of pint. It will mainly be confined to the Greater Dublin Area but as I'm going to Galway this weekend I think it's only fair that I start there...more to follow

If anyone has any other categories that they think I should also include please let me know

has the medication helped you since you were diagnosed as HIV Positive?

This is my local boozer
