Newry, Down Hookup Spots and Stuff Only Locals Know

Hook-up Spots (That hallowed spot where everyone hangs around with their mates dreaming of the time when they can get into the pubs or clubs - a bench, a corner: you name it.)

• the third bench up from top man in the centre.. fifth floor of the multi-storey on a thursday nite stone bridge for ho's the market
• Dunnes car park on Monaghan street on Friday and Saturday nights. All the nyucks hang there in their souped up Corsas and Micras with tinted windows, little Knightrider lights, ludicrously oversized spoilers and NoFear stickers on the back windows, revving their engines, spewing smoke from their noisy exhausts, and texting into Kiss 106 FM with requests for pumping techno choons. Classy.
• well when the groovy magnet is closed (yes, the one-stop "freak" shop) has to close to (vampires need their zzzzz's), you'll find all those "open-minded" magnet folk at "the crib"...Just that bit of land beside the stone bridge... If, however you're too young to be a magnet person then hanging around outside it is the done thing. For those who are "normal" in Newry, try the benches in the Buttercrane, where you can have a "feg" and feel up your "ho/bitch" whilst admiring the beautiful *tacky* gold attire in H.Samuel.
• Friar Tucks sugar island, oh and bring some sort of self defence with you, these people know just about not to eat themselves and no more...im talkin about the arse's outside the joint
• again with the friar tucks (we don't get out much).has anyone heard the one bout the fella in the banbridge one who got over excited bout his chicken burger?no me neither euuuugh.
• Thhis is the place where as soon as you turn 18, you leave.... you will always have it in your heart like an attack.... there is a great music scene however, which is not appreciated at all by the raver type junkies
• the magnet - scary place where freaks and goths hang out getting high and listening to marilyn mansun

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.

If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.
