any use as a venue? Always hated that f**king tunnel vibe downstairs.... has it improved?

You wouldnt know the place! I liked the cavern club kinda thing to be honest. Now it's a big multilevelled place and the tunnel is a kinda overflow if it gets too full. Which it wont. It's The Grove night. Could be good if it fills up a bit. Waiting for the Benni (TM) seal of approval.

is there an entrance fee for the place now that it has been done up. i used to like the place.

I think there is a fee but I was in the bar before the club opened. I just walked downstairs. Was there not always a fee tho?

used to be a fiver on the door as far as i recalled. I kinda liked downstairs, the whole cellar effect. sh*te beer though

What time does it stay open until?

Ehhh...about the usual I think. 2, 2.30, something like that. Memory's a little hazy.

Radio city - kinda like that new extension, passed by it last week and went in to check it out on Saturday night. The music was cool. Dig that sound system! would like to see a gig there some time soon..

If you're looking for a gig we the Blood Red Mountian Band are playing a gig there on Sat 10th of December with Me In The Park. For the lovely, low, low price of a fiver, you get to check us and the new sound system out and there is a late club on after - hurray!

My drunken former Grove regular friends were askin all sorts of questions about the place and I think one of the staff said the sound system came from Vicar St. Which cant be bad.

Yeah I haven't heard it myself but rumour has it it's a good one

I've djed there on thursday night twice recently. It is a cool system and it's obvious they've spent loads on it but the promotion is fairly negligible. I nearly had to spend as much time with the lights as I did the decks. Was the saturday club the 'trailer trash' one? They seem to be going down the generic 'house' route altho the grove is on monthly again. Thursdays are meant to be student nights but I didn't see that many. They will play the gigs downstairs same place as the club is. Not ssure if will have the right vibe going for it.

The "club section" wouldnt be a good venue for a gig, no. And it wasnt trailer trash, it was pretty much yer standard indie with a few 80s rock tunes thrown in. And "Black Betty". I hurt my neck.

There seems to be a few different types of nights going on there. Heard through a mate of mine that they've a Midas System and he said that there are some pretty cool indie bands playing at Radio City in the coming months. The club will be open every night so there should be a good mix of events. The trailer trash night is only on friday nights. Apparently Jenny Greene,who dj's with FM104,is running it.

My band are playing there on Dec 9th with Skylight and Pedestrian :)

"Juliet Turner and Carnival Saloon are headlining a special charity gig in Radio City in Store Street Dublin on Sunday May 7th along with others. The gig is to support Terri Byrne who is suffering from cancer. In Feb 2005 Juliet picked up an Irish Meteor Music Award for best Irish Female Performer, alongside artists such as Paddy Casey, PJ Harvey and Snow Patrol. She has recently signed a distribution deal with Valley in America and is working on her fourth studio album. For the uninitiated, Carnival Saloon are to Tom Waits what The Rolling Stones are to Muddy Waters. With a force of nature fronting and drawing on spirits as diverse as Bukowski and Kerouac to Ray Charles and Elvis, this is high octane musical theatre not to be missed. It will be the first appearance this year in Dublin by both artists so it promises to be a special night."

Carnival Saloon? deadly. Love that band. I played Radio City twice last month or so ago and it's a nice place to play.sound man is a bit up his hole and the stage is a bit small. Everything else was great. Even the bouncers
