What's Roscommon like for a sat night out on the town?

What would you think Roscommon is like for a night out on the town? ;D

Well judging by the posts it sounds like Granard...I was only in Rosscommon once when Armagh beat Limerick there think it was 2003 and it was a swift in and out that time...ill re phrase the question....where is the best spot for a night on the town thats within a reasonable travelling distance from Rosscommon Town...
I can swim a little but i can't fly an inch

Carrick on shannon or Athlone, I'd go to Carrick, it has the advantage of not even being a little bit in Roscommon
Excuse me for talking while you're trying to interrupt me

Listening to Fancy Dans and a county in love with soccer leads to bad choices.

Rockfords in Roscommon Town is the main niteclub if you are of that vintage and should be well populated on the Saturday night of a home match. Plenty of bars in the town center to try if you want a quieter time of it.

Game on Sky. Big challenge is for Armagh to string two good performances together, something that hasn't happened too often in recent years.Like all previous Roscommon Armagh clashes this is a 50/50 game.Brings back nostalgic memories of 1977 for us oldies!

Come down and stay in the county.
Lots to do.

Boyle area is very scenic - Lough Key forest Park for the kids.

Roscommon Town is not bad for a night out - some good pubs with craft beers, food and live music.
Nightclub in the town same as most rural county towns- cheap and cheerful.
Best accommodation option would be B&B

Alternatives are Carrick - good selection of pubs and accommodation.
Athlone - nice pubs and restaurants on the Connacht side of the town

Go to Carrick. Eat in the Oarsman, Cryan's or the excellent Chinese - the name of which escapes me. Plenty of good pubs, do a bit of a crawl along the main street.

Every town has a chinese.
A few have a great chinese.
IMHO this one is superb.

and why do most towns in Ireland have Chinese restaurants?

cause it's cheap and cheerful with strong flavours and crap ingredients which masks the fact most Irish people haven't got a club what decent grub should look or taste like.

The egg-fried rice is always amazing though.

You should go to Carrick and try the Oarsman.  ;)

Mayo-West Ros Club championship you mean. Ballagh are playing the Bellaghy boys so there isn't even much Mayo interest in that one anyways.

Jinxy

If you were any use you'd be playing.

Very happy with the venue - happen to be in Athlone for the weekend.  :)
