My fave place is Crane Lane, two bars, live music in one, disc jockey in the other and one of the nicest smoking areas anywhere (for those that smoke). Two lots of toilets, one lot in the front and one lot at the back. Only thing is, it's always packed. Not sure if they would reserve an area for us.

Crane Lane is a good pub alright, but unless you get in there fairly early it's going to be mobbed, and you want have much of a chance of getting seating together.

Solution could be a quieter pub, like the Slate or something where we could be guaranteed seats, and once we get to know each other a little better we could all wander on elsewhere.

That being said, I'm easy and will happily go wherever you lot want to.

killarneyman: Hey folks, I'm seeing pretty regular Donegal and Dublin meets going on here, but very little down in the real capital.

I'm not thinking of anything too major, just a bunch of regulars from here meeting up for a few jars. If we can arrange a nice even mix of guys and girls, all the better, but worse comes to worse we could have a few beers and a bit of craic anyway.

Who would be interested?

LadyBlackAdder: It can happen like that. If you want a huge party, there is no guarantee. I have to say I have always enjoyed the meets I have gone to, even the smaller ones; you get to know people better.

The only one I didn't enjoy was my first Dublin one. All the rest were great craic.

It depends on what your expectations are and how you relate to people I reckon.

Right we need a venue and a start up time so I can create a signup sheet.

Choices that pop into my head are:

The Slate: It's on the Grand Parade, so pretty easy to find, and it's very quiet at the start of the night so it would be a good place to meet each other and have a chat before moving on to some place later. Disadvantages are it's a bit of a rocker pub, which not everyone may appreciate.

SoHo: Easy to find, trendy modern pub, they do food there too, gets packed though.

Crane Lane: Possibly a bit difficult to find for non corkonians, it's quite small and will be jammers later in the night, but it should be pretty easy to find a table. Nightclub out the back

Any other suggestions or comments? I can arrange a table to be set aside, but assuming we are meeting up early enough, I can't see it being a problem to be honest. Most of these places don't get packed till 10 or later.

Well you're right about it being off Patrick Street, it's way off. You have to go up the Grand Parade and cross the south gate bridge.

Ha you're grand Millie, neither am I, just that there are so many side streets off PANA that people could easily get lost if you didn't mention that it was off the Grand Parade. I must admit when I saw your post I thought you were mixing it up with the Mutton Lane.
