just come back and although i`ve never been before i would say it isnt as busy as i expected in the clubs - amnesia was ridiculous but the others were ok. The west end when we did venture down there was hit and miss one night it was packed a few nights later (fri night) it was not even half full in the bars. We werent going out til 12 some nights though, and i`m sure others were goin out even later.
We went to coastline and mambo around 3am in the morning and the places were empty, i was expecting more people to be honest, space terrace was packed on the sunday but inside was empty. bora bora was packed so perhaps people are spending more wisely ?
Either way its the busiest place i`ve ever been, and the bars must still be making a mint. A typical example of it being a rip off and them suffering is - on the first night me and a few mates were walking down by the egg and then walked along to the bottom of the west end main strip, a georgous looking girl asked us to go in her bar, down stairs by koppas i think, took us down there southern comfort and lemonade was 8 euros, with a free shot, the place was empty except for us and 2 other girls. Not suprised at that price when other bars in the west end were offering 3-4 drinks for 5 euros all in. We didnt do the west end much but i can see why people are complaining bout drink prices.
