I'm not into many clubs or bars outside of the corner bar scene. I never really cared much for for big crowds and the "ametuer" type mentality of friday and saturday nights at places in the olde city area mainly due to the clientele. Much like why i don't go out on Thanksgiving Eve (aka, ametuer night).The only night I really even think about doing something outside of the neighborhood is maybe on a thursday night.
I have to admit, I felt extremely comfortable at your place on the thursday nights that I've been there. Me and my girls each time have went out around 8:00 to beat any crowd and planned each time to leave by 10, 11:00. We found ourselves leaving Paddy's after last call! It has made for several arguments with my fiance' but we had a great time. The crowd early on always seems fairly quiet and enjoyable but as the night grows on, I feel the party atmosphere kick in. I must say it became extremely fun to be around. The bartenders seem like they can enjoy themselves along with the crowd. Most importantly, the clientele from what I've witnessed, is extremely tolerable.
