Anyone with good rough pub stories or know any local pubs that are dog rough. one of the lads told me he went into this place in claremorris where there was a fella sleeping on the floor when they walked in  . i was in a a couple in carlow before but im sure theres ones in larger built up cities that are alot worse. jim bowen the snooker fella had a funny gag where he said his local in manchester was so rough, one night a petrol bomb was thrown in but was drank before it could go off ------------- Wings?

Falling a sleep on the pub floor makes it a rough pub?? Jaysus mate who lives in Liverpool now was well known for crawling up infront off the fire in my local when he was pissed stupid about 2 or 3 in the morning or on a sunday evening after a non stop weekend session while the rest off us kept on supping Now roughest place I used to work was place called Bob Crachetts in Belfast(think thats the spelling), had a door man shot dead about a year before I worked there and would have all the sandy row druggy scumbags fukkers in mouthing and sh*t, good thing was when the fukers would mouth at me and I mouthed back if they even moved within 2 feet off me the bouncers would kick the living sh*te out of them out the back  Also saw one off the best fights ever in there - happened about 4-5ft away from me when these 2 pretty well built lads started gubbin at each other, one off the mates off 1 ran from about 10 yards away and stuck the sweetest head butt I ever seen on yer man, split his nose completly and blood went everywhere, the lad took it and i reckon bust the jaw off one of them  me stuck there in the middle off it all with glasses piled up in both hands and not one sniff of a punch or anything came my way  But used to be I reckon on average about 1 maybe 2 fights on a friday night and bout at least 3 on a saturday in there as was pretty much a meat market and lads with the drink/drugs in them would get the angry head on them when they got rejected ------------- 1312 |

That pub im on about would be rough for a rural town but would be nothing on the place you worked in or any pub where the clientele are off their heads. that ll always be messy. i always feel more safer drinking in late bars/niteclubs in a foreign country than i do in dublin. ive been lucky enough in galway to be fair ------------- Wings?

Very few pubs in centre of Dublin are rough ESP nightclubs and late bars. Can't think of any fights I have seen in pubs in town in all the years I am going out here and thats nearly 15 years. Suburban pubs tend to be rougher although there is a few choice ones in the north inner city. Rural towns can have much rougher pubs ------------- AKA pedantic kunt |

cant remember the name of this one GD but it was right outside John Sweeney Park (rough estate).it was one of those units of a mini shoppin centre with a take away as far as i remember. Mate had coins thrown at him on our way in. nothin happened inside but you could tell it was dog rough and the coke bottles were 2 years out of date with an actual competition to do with the england team at the 02 world cup on the label. Other one was sheriff o haras near st pats which was grand durin the day but had a rough local crowd on the weekends. one of my mates worked there and he d know more about the craic than me but it was full of alcoholics during the week. 2.50 pints on mondays was good craic though. Heard the thatch pub in graigue was rough but cant remember if i was in it or not but i think thats because graigue people didnt like carlovians and consider themselves laois. is graigue actually in laois or carlow as the laois sign is past the town? Dicey rileys apparanetly was supposed to be a rough local rednecks pub at weekends but i was in it once durin the week and it was grand. Hope none of this offends ya mate as i know your from the area ------------- Wings? They're only the band The Beatles could have been. |

The Blacker in Coolock has to be one of the roughest - always fighting there every single week.
The Edenmore House for the same reason.
The Players Lounge because the doormen are RIRA and bring trouble to the door.
There was a nightclub in Darndale years ago which was notourously rough.
I know a girl that got shot in there - what happened was that some bloke came in with a sawn off shot gun and tried to shoot the bar man, but the shooter ended up shooting about 10 people at the bar because the lead cartridge just goes everywhere!

The Station House always had a rough element to it. A friend of mine got stabbed in the throat about 10 years ago. A good few years ago one of the bouncers was chasing some bloke around the place with a machete on a Sunday afternoon with the place packed with kids, Sunday nights years ago the place use to packed whereby people would have to queue for hours from all parts of Dublin - there would always be fights as well. ------------- It was far across the sea, When the devil got a hold of me, He wouldn't set me free, So he kept me soul for ransom. na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na.

Loyalist areas are called black holes, dunno why, think it's if ya go in, your not comin back out. They are also called black ******** and always wondered this myself, is it because of the black institute (gay fraternity) or black and tans? But there is also a term Black Irish, dunno if its derogatory or what but it's used to in reference to us, Irish Irish. It could mean Black haired Irish, as one in three Irish are from the sons of a spanish king or just outcast Irish. In OZ O'Reily says to yer man, where the same me and you, black irish.

The bottom of the hill in Finglas is rough and can compete with rough pubs anywhere. Walked in their with a Dublin friend and he said jokingly, but loudly, 'keep the accent down'. The pub seemed to turn and look at me. We left. Have been in some corkers in England.One in Birmingham on derby day where they were doing coke on the pool table at 10 in the morning was probably the best. You know it has a great chance of being a rough boozer here when there is a sign that says 'shirts must be worn in the bar at ll times'. ------------- A man can have no greater love than give 90 minutes to his friends. @withgodlygrace |

Yah I'd say Finglas is a big Sinn Fein area. To be fair we didn't get any hassle ------------- Wings? They're only the band The Beatles could have been. |

The old white horse in drimnagh - about two years before it closed and changed hands the place was a madhouse . If ya had two ears in there you were considered a fairy , and more than likely ""corrected"". Till robbed off the counter daily and the thieves hot footed across the bridge and in to the square . Lads used to order a round and just stare at the barman till he walked away without being payed . Unfortunate cos prior to that the bar was a good working class watering hole . ------------- Shamrock Rovers - lovin the buzz . |

I wasn't talking about Finglas as a whole more so that particular pub if you get my drift ------------- Eamonn Dunphy:"I'll tell you who wrote it, Rod Liddle, he's the guy who ran away and left his wife for a young one". Bill O'Herlihy: Ah ye can't be saying that now Eamonn |

Oh I know. That's what I mean't. Any time I was in rough parts of Dublin, I never got hassle.Everybody gets tarred with the same brush if they're from a socially deprived area ------------- Wings? They're only the band The Beatles could have been. |

The Sunset Inn in Ballybough would be up there alright. Not too sure if it's still open ------------- Eamonn Dunphy:"I'll tell you who wrote it, Rod Liddle, he's the guy who ran away and left his wife for a young one". Bill O'Herlihy: Ah ye can't be saying that now Eamonn |

Slightly out of the centre though. The Parnell Mooney is (was?) a rough spot too. Murray's on top of O'Connell Street isn't the greatest, either. -------------

Didn't think Murrays would be that rough tbh.Was actually gonna head in for a pint a couple of weeks ago but went to Grogans (best pub in Dublin) instead ------------- Wings? They're only the band The Beatles could have been. |
