I think the bar is ok though. Ok enough for a "fat mid-30s bloke" like myself anyway.

He started with explosions in the sky, one of their instrumental ones....marvellous. Galway seems to be full of hot women too.

In fairness, that sport can be indulged in in Whelan's too.
Yeah but there are far fewer polka-dots and ridiculously oversized cheap plastic sunglasses in Whelans.

Skinny Wolves would be awesome if more people went and if someone other than Amy from Queen Kong danced at it. i like it though. weird crap bands, weird cool bands, not recognising 99% of the songs the djs play but thinking most of them sound great. Quack Quack last night were superb.

oh right, is that the Oak? I like thomas reeds alright, but the oak seems to be a bit of an old mans pub, is it not. As for downstairs, ive been there a few times, but its always been empty enough and with a distinct smell of vomit. Am I talking about the same place here???

YEah, I think youve got the right spot. But it may have only been a bad night that you caught the vomit smell. These days downstairs packs out nicely and theyve just recently put in a proper DJ area.

The Roisin Dubh rocks!!!!! I think Whelans use a tape and the dj is just there to press the 'on' button so that the venue can charge in!!! Anseo is great. How's Sin É now? Haven't been there in a while.

Geoffs is the only decent place in waterford to have a drink. could do with a dj instead of the bar persons choosing the music sometimes
