There's more to Ireland dan dis
Dear all, just thought I would tell you first that tonight there is absolutely nothing going on at The Good Ship except Niall and Michelle behind the bar. Get in on the jukebox before they inflict their tastes upon ye. Only £1 for 5. I was in The Good Mixer (no relation) last week and it was 5 for TWO pounds. Can you believe it?? No, me neither.
Anyway, cheers to everyone who has come to the Good Ship this month, I reckon this January has been the best month since we opened, great it has been. The rest of this week is chockablock with stuff so here you go. There are discounts at the end of each night in bold. Nearly all of our events start about 8pm and charging stops about 1130 during the week so if you are popping in after for a late drink you should be fine.
