December 22, 200421 yr Bar 38, Brannigans and Life Cafe all have more than one floor, for example Bar 38 might be able to rent you the bottom floor for your function. Wetherspoons on Princess St definately do this kind of thing but not sure if they could fit 75 or if about 300ish yards away is too far? You could try the Virgin Active place or the AMC cinema to see if they have such facilities as they are close by. I'd try the Pitcher and Piano too.
