It's not doing gigs any more, they're putting in pool tables and all bookings are cancelled.

thats a pity now. definitley was a venue where attitude pipped layout, which can be more than enough compensation.

I never once emerged from there enthused about the sound.

that's a good way to put it alright. fun to play there and fun to meet heads and get plastered, but it was a rubbish place to see bands unless you were right up the front.

i hadn't been to a gig there since the ballroom stopped.

It's such a pain in the hole though, really left a fair few gig's in the lurch. Bit of for-warning would have been helpful.

Are the pool tables any good?

 

[Fuckoff]

Nah man, I here they're real dirty, and have patches all over them.

This is true. Layout never worked, necessity may be the mofo of invention.

Didn't realise the Lower Deck had reopened for gigs, though they're mostly jazz of some sorts. It also now looks like this and charges €270 for a gig.

is the smell gone?

 

[HMD]

Is that downstairs?

 

[Space]

It is downstairs, they're having all sorts of gigs, rock stuff, jazz etc through to zine launches although how a zine launch can cover the 270 rental I've no idea.

That's the part with the windows where no one actually goes anyway, left of the stage beside the jacks where the smell was unbearable. It was essentially a storage area for the bands' gear, maybe the rest of the place is exactly the same, right down to the odour and the pile of cans in the jacks. €270 a gig though that's fucking ridiculous. They probably worked out that €270 was all they made at the bar on a friday night in spite of the fact that everyone was absolutely shitfaced and decided to double their income. I really hope they put the tipparary hurling pictures back up and brought the guide dogs for the blind collection puppy bank out of retirement.
