Thanks to all who made Saturday such a fun night.
Being January and all that, I think we did pretty well!
This was the last Official Grove Tribute Night for the
next couple of months, watch this site for updates.
Possibly one around Easter time in Raheny again.
    I know there's a charity Grove Reunion Night in the
Clontarf Rugby Club on Saturday February 12th. So
for those of you requiring a monthly fix, head on
down, I'm sure it's gonna be a great night.
   Also, I keep bumping into people with great stories
from The Grove, like Helen, who I met on Saturday
night, for example. Please, log-on to the site and tell
the rest of the X-Grove Goers. We need you to share
your stories, otherwise this site will die on it's arse.
Or please email us any old photos from the Grove
that you may have come across over the years. Send
them to info@thegrovesocialclub.com.
Thanks.
P.S. We should have some photos from the 27th &
last Saturdays Grove Tribute up on the site before
the week's out!

As the 'Grove' was refrequented by those living in the Dublin 3,5 & 13 areas, would it not be a better idea to keep the 'Tribute Nights' at the Sheiling Hotel and hold them quarterly ( 4 times per year). On the turn out seen on the 27th, I believe that this would retain the special ambiance that was 'The Grove'.

We've been considering that Ed, especially after the
success of the 27th. Alot of people are asking when
the next one is going to happen. There's one on the
15th in the Temple Bar Music Centre which had
been booked previous to the 27th. This obviously
won't have the same atmosphere as the one in The
Sheiling but it'll be a good night all the same. But I
tend to agree that sometimes less is more. I think
four or five a year would make it a little more special
than, say, one a month. Leave it with us. What do
the rest of you think? We'd love to hear your
thoughts... Thanks again Ed for raising this valid
point.

Have to agree with Ed. Definately feel they should be kept in the original area of the Grove. Keeps the feel of it plus we can always go to the chipper in Raheny Village afterwards for curry chips!!

Saturday night was the last Grove night for the next
couple of months. There's none planned as of yet. If
circumstances allow, maybe a Easter Special out in
The Shieling. Kepp your eye on the sight for updates!
As for The Venue Formerly Known As Isaacs this
is scheduled for a March/April opening, under new
managment ,so I'm not sure what their
entertainment policies will be. Again, watch this
space.

Isaac Butt's was definitely THE place to have The Grove. At least you could always get a taxi outside.

The Sheiling is great too but it takes a lot longer for the crowd to get going.

Maybe special nights such as Valentines for Singles / Paddy's Night / Easter / June Bank Holiday / Halloween and Christmas could be in the Sheiling and then every other month in town?

I've gone 3 times but would love to go more often.

Well Jennimcc, I liked Isaac's too, when the
renovations are finished we're considering going
back there. It'll be under new management so their
entertainment policies will be the deciding factor on
whether we want to bring it back to there or not. I can
confirm that the new venue being built is shaping up
nicely and should extend the capacity to another 400
punters, providing a more comfort environment
during those busy nights. But as for the "specials",
we're going with the Shieling for the time being. And
as for the crowd taking longer to get going, I agree,
but it's all down to you guys. You can bring a horse to
water... Not that I'm saying that there were any
horses at the Shieling last time
