scriobhneoir: 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.

To be honest all you need to know in the city centre to direct people to places are PANA (Patrick St), Oliver Plunket St and Grand Parade because pretty much everything central is off one of those streets.
I think the best bet for everyone would be if we started in SoHo. It's probably the easiest place to find that would have plenty of seating room (Presuming we meet about 8).
To find SoHo, just go to the bottom of Patrick Street (The main street for the non-corkonians), that's the side with McDonalds at the end. Then turn left (Grand Parade) and it's just after the next main junction (Washington Street) on the right hand side. It's a big glass fronted place with seats outside, just before the park.
The place is not personally my cup of tea, but it's as good a starting point as any.

we're not all going to be drinking alcohol, why not focus on somewhere we can have parking too? and is easy to drive to?

There is a high rise pay car park on Grand Parade just across the road from SoHo which should be open all night. Also, at 8pm there should be space in the South Mall which is near Grand Parade or on Sullivans Quay which is connected to the Grand Parade by a foot bridge. That's just for starters.
There is not too much parking in the city center, certainly not at night time. Most of the multi-story car parks won't be open after 7 or 8. We could guarantee parking by going out of the city, to Douglas or Mahon or something, but I'm a little wary about putting anyone who is staying in a hotel at the mercy of Cork city bus.
At around eightish it should not be too difficult to get onstreet parking, up the South Mall or something, it's only 2 or 3 min walk away.

I can't get my motor in them things, too high with the roof rack
John O' Sullivans, locally known as John O's. I suggested that earlier. It's a great bar with a nice smoking area. I would love the meet to be on in Douglas

it's a nice bar i have been there a few times plenty of room in it too
Right folks, I need to get the signup sheet for this, I still think outside the city would be a nightmare for those getting hotels in the city, and being inside gives us more options for later. So I'm going to put it down as SoHo for now. Starting at 8.
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.
