YBIG PUB SPY 1 - The Racecourse Inn, Baldoyle
 
Number of times visited - First time 25/July/08 8.00pm
 
 
 
Picture courtesy of mobile phone camera prior to consumption of liquid gold that is Miller/Coors
 
 
1. Atmosphere : Seemed like a regular clientale with two older citizens chatting to a gentleman behind the bar 
2. Service : Exquisite. I sat down and was immediately approached by loungestaff to ask if i wanted to purchase a beverage. I ordered a frosty Miller which was presented in a Miller glass.
3.Cleaniness of Jacks - Well kept and maintained. I was surprised at the lack of graffiti that i see in other places. Bog rule in place and the toilet had a seat. I enjoyed a nice stooling. WC then proceeded to offer me fresheners for a small charge.
4.Chances of Scoring - quite a number of what looked like single women. I got chatting to one girl by the name of Jenny who lived locally. I told her i might see her again.
5.Quality of Jar - Smooth and chilled. Rings of froth clinged to the inside of the glass, always a good sign.
6. Quality of Food and Snacks - A large selection of light snacks available ranging from pringles to scampi fries and pork scratchings
7.Pricing - €4.60 for a pint of Miller. Was to be expected in this high end establishment.
8.Smoking Area - Catered for with heating supplied. A sand bowl to put your cigareete out safely to prevent any possible damage to the pubs interior.
9. TV - A total of 8 in the lounge. All angles covered for with a 12 foot screen in the middle
10.Reading Materials - Time magazine, National Geographic, the Business post all available
11.Music and Entertainment - Some light music in the background. Live bands on weekends.

I only go to a pub for one reason and one reason alone and that is to use the washroom and there is no rating for that!! I mean what are the facitities like? Toilet paper? Clean? People flush? Chances of running into someone who is not there for a pee but still has his pecker out? You know all these are important especially the last one as you can always pee in someones beer if the chances are high.

You never said how many beers to be consumed before your assessment of chances of scoring.

Foxes in galway is a decent estalishment. I personally don't like racing or tourist arseholes but these people were fairly decent to YBIGPS.Thumbs%20UpService as very prompt and efficient which is always good and the music was Neil Young followed by the Waterboys on the stereo which wasn't too loud.Smoking area was outside on mainstreet but what can u do! Jacks were clean and  well maintained.Serious lack of talent behind the bar !!!!!blokes only!"!!!Decent Pint wth  a decent toastie. In fact, I don't say this lightly, probably won't again, BUT best toastie EVER! but jar was good. TV was there lack of games though-asked yer man about possibility of watcing a number of games- said YESThumbs%20DownThumbs%20UpLook place is good but Galway in general is full of JipposShockedDublin is much better than this kip

Its not a good pub. Its one of the worst ones you could have picked. Even the big ones like the Quays and The Kings Head would have been better choices. You are RUBBISH

Well done Justice you got to Galway on YOUR big weekend, and pick the sh*ttest pub. That's the equivalent of going to Dublin and reviewing Copper Face Jacks or Redz...
 
I spy with my YBIG eye a f**king useless reviewer. JUSTICE OUT!!
