She might be Ireland’s biggest cider fan.
DCU students of a certain age will remember having the choice between drinking in the (relatively) sleek and stylish surroundings of ‘The Nu Bar’, or the degenerate and rundown shithole that was ‘The Old Bar’.
There’s clearly only going to be one winner, ‘The Old Bar’.
Every. Single. Time.
Just ignore the fact that all of the furniture looked like it was stolen from the nearest skip. It was a dank, but it was a charming dank. Ah, memories.
Still though, the party must go on and if you went to DCU, you’ll definitely be familiar with one drink, Jack Slattery’s Premium Cider.
Orlaith McIvor is a former DCU student and she tells us that one of her housemates, a lady named Sarah that graduated last year, is on the hunt for a few tins of Jack Slats after it recently dropped off the menu.
Orlaith says : “The Nu Bar is famous for selling its €3 cans of Jack Slats cider. Lately, they’ve been out of stock and we haven’t been able to find them in any store or supermarket. Myself and my housemate (Sarah) live beside DCU, and even though we’ve all graduated, we’ve developed a taste for the cider and we’re finding it quite hard to cope without it. So, my housemate decided to email them (Students Union) in the hope that it will help some deprived DCU students.”
Here’s Sarah’s email along with the reply from Jack Slattery’s.
Anything for some cider, eh?
What a sauce warrior.
