I was in the the fashionable “no name” bar in Dublin last night. It was full of attitude after we spent a few minutes in the short queue at the door. My friend said it was like a hangout for desperate women, desperate men too it seems. One country girl got shitty to the extreme with a guy working there for trying to take a bottle of tiger with an inch of beer in it along with an empty. She started pointing at a full bottle nearby to attempt to put him down completely. A girl from Italy who was with us saw it and disliked her a lot. A while later the girl was sticking her bag into the side of my head. I eventually tapped her on the shoulder and said “I am sorry but your bag has stuck into my head 10 times”. She laughed and said “sorry?” – I said “your jacket is on my shoulder”. She agreed to take it away and was seen rolling her eyes at me.

Her pal was a guy who sounded like he was from the wesht of Ireland. He should done some clothes shopping at some point in the last 5 years. His stonwashed dingos made him look like someone from a rural pub on a football afternoon. He was talking about going to Krystle but pronouncing it like the “stars” on MTV pronounce the drink Cristal (Kristaaaaaal).

Cristal is the brand name of a champagne produced by Louis Roederer. Cristal is easily recognized by its flat-bottomed clear, “crystal” bottle, anti-UV cellophane wrapper, and gold label. A typical price in the United States is $350 or more[1] for a bottle. In the United Kingdom, prices are around £150 per bottle and can rise to £650 in some bars in central London. In the Netherlands, prices are around €200 per bottle and can rise to €800 in some clubs in Amsterdam and Rotterdam, depending on the year the bottle is produced in and the venue.

At the end of the night a girl flopped off her high stool and hit her glass off me. I did’nt stop and none of the liquid hit me. I think it hit her. I looked back and one of her friends was amused by it and was smiling. It was not all bad as I did however meet feenshams friends who I was in Thailand with before. One of them is a Garda and I told him their approach to policing is like that of an angry aunt or uncle giving out. He said nobody gives a shit about anything. They move on someone after they have seen people go on for 20 minutes with no indication of changing. I added that the liklihood of a police state was remote since they dont really have the equipment or you could say, access to any form of “intelligence”.

At least my night out was better than what some of these people endured at the opening of “Mantra Bar” in Maynooth. Apparently the locals got mistreated and the Lillies crowd (“exclusive” dublin nite-club) got preferential treatment. Some people were told they were fat and others started threatening each other on facebook. Its an awesome insight into the lives of Irish clubbers. Beware, manta bar are deleting un-favourable posts and they had electricty problems and no aircon and lights going on and off. People were sweating but Sophie Ellix Bextor was great apparently and there is a picture of Niall Quinn and some people met actors from Coronation St, a depressing manchester soap opera.

Jaanne I am a local to I was at the opening of Mantra last night and was shocked at the way I was treated I only had two drinks down stairs We went to go up stairs when we went there it was crowded so we waitted after a while my husband and got to the door and this tall girl in a black dress looked me up and down with a sneer ie Im to fat in her … mind to go up stairs and told me in her words that I was to drunk to go up the head of security seen the look she gave me and heard what she said and told her he was the f**king head of security and I was not drunk that he made the decision not her I was so angery and so hurt everyone seen and heard her I went up stairs and the music and lights died five times that we drank my third drink and left on going down stairs I met the manager and explained how I felt about what happen earlier he was going mad he wants me to go and have dinner on them I dont think so

(this one above has now been removed from the site and apparently the black dress lady is Niall Quinns sister who has something to do with the exclusive night club in dublin people are talking about).

Orna i have a life excuse me, you dont like what i have to say then i really couldn’t give a dam, there has been plenty of ppl on his site upset with the way last night went SO YOU GET A LIFE or better still shut the hell up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I personally think Mantra is a DISGRACE. I waited in a huge que last nite for an hour. When i got to the top i was refused for wat i was wearing. Anyone who wants to see my outfit can see it in my photos. when i asked y my outfit was inappropriate i got a ‘no comment’ from the head bouncer ‘dress code applies’. i was also looked up and down by the … aul one in the black dress dont no who she thinks she is but Mantra wont keep there customers if she stays. She had the height of ignorance last nite to look at me the way she did and embarase me and my friends in front of a huge crowd and when i politely tried to catch her attention she looked me up and down again and walked inside. I wont be going near Mantra again.

…

about the girl in the pencil skirt who got refused, it was cruel and hurtfull the way she was rejected these comments are from the locals in maynooth btw not from the customers in lillies who wont be back after this weekend awfull opening weekend was treated fairly enought witch i was happy with but the stories

This was on the there last week and I found it amusing that an illiterate 40-something with a baby would want to attend and was begging for VIP passes due to being sick of krystles. I wonder if her updated correct spelling got her be able to “Find Your Space… In the many areas and moods of Mantra…”
