Northern Ireland is considering extending their drinking hours in pubs to round the clock. Just imagine having a couple pints of Kilkenny or whatever to go with that big breakfest you ordered.

I assume you are referring to Paul Gascoigne. If so I know where your comming from. Hell of a player that Gazza but I digress.

Re: 24 Hour Drinking

bring it on... i hope they bring 24hour drinking into the republic.

i hate going home after the clubs shut at 3. it will bring a whole new generation of clubs till 8am... sweet:p

Re: 24 Hour Drinking

Whoa your clubs shut at 3??? Here in Australia pretty much all our clubs are open till 7am.

And you know what I do when I leave a club at 7am? I find the closest 24hr pub I can find and drink till 10 or 11 in the morning. I crave beers like nothing else after a night out of 'partying' and I'll kill someone if I couldn't get my hands on one.

I'm interested to know now what the standard club closing time is for everyone's home cities now. 6 or 7am for Sydney, and the rest of Aus, what is it for everyone else? And is bars that are allowed to open 24hrs a day a big rarity the world over?

Re: 24 Hour Drinking

yeah its shit enough.. after three u gotta look for a shitty wine bar thats open another hour.. realistically though we start drinking at 6pm so its a long enough night.;)

have been out in clubs in london and spain till 7am which was sweet. nuthin like a long ass night to make the rest of the week in work hella depressing.

Re: 24 Hour Drinking

Here in Toronto "last call" is 2:00am. Yes that's right 2am. Although you'll find some pubs during the midweek, when business is slow do last call earlier then that.

Re: 24 Hour Drinking

the sense in 24hr drinking is .. not everyones stood for an hour waiting for a taxi because they all left the pub/club/bar at the same time

Re: 24 Hour Drinking

24 hour drinking?? We do that here all the time.

May not be in the bars, but the house parties make it happen!!!

Cheers to beer for breakfast!

#500927Post 19 of 272005-10-25

Re: 24 Hour Drinking

clubs close around 4 to 6 am here, bars mostly at 2 am. So after doinf some drinking, you just start to do some drunk dancing in a club :D And then crash at 8 am or so after eating some gross fries at the most unclean snackbar you can find. Works for me....

They do stop serving at 2am but you have about an hour to finish your drinks and most clubs stay open 'till 6 or 7am. We also have quite a few booze cans that serve exspensive boose all night and morning long. .

Re: 24 Hour Drinking

True. There are some places in the city that will serve you some fine "cold tea" after 2am.
