Just in the place for the night and seriously!! After years of stag n party nights of real good craic here, tonight was a serious letdown!

The place was dead n only for a great set of (vanilla it seems) Offaly women there was hardly a sinner about! Streets empty as too my bed now lol!, what is going on as normally buzzing.

Newry Down

A lot of places are exceptionally quiet just before Christmas; people saving their cash for a big blowout over Xmas and the new year.

Antrim Town

You went on a Sunday night, stags and hens typically head home Sunday lunchtime.

?????? Thanks Devine for that insight as seriously never knew all that lol! Only joking but seriously up North all is still busy enough and agree on last comment about it being mainly a stag & hen location but do be here quite often on and off peak and never seen it as dead. Bar managers and shop owners saying the same so am wondering are all small towns suffering as bad as felt wild sorry for them all.

Hi Devine, yeah everyone was apologising for asking but to be fair to them felt more secure n safe fact all were asking! However drink in wit out n last pub in everyone were all well on and mingling with eachother and hard to keep safetly top of the agenda. Dont get me wrong, was nice the fact nowhere crowded but do wonder how long small independents can weather all this and what this and other wee places will be like if we ever get back to some sort of normal!

Newry Down

I used to go down to Carlingford from Newry very frequently, years ago, and there was a great buzz in the village then.

Covid has wrecked all this; if we can get on top of this Omicron variant by next spring, on both sides of the border, the buzz may return. But I won't be holding my breath!

Covid ruined the nightlife.. People are afraid to go out in case they catch it..
