Even odder

They were clearly shutting and although I couldn't get another beer, I got a couple of free Baby Guinnesses and ended up chatting with a security guard whose daughter is the girlfriend of the barman. (The guy had a truncheon and a set of brass knuckles, which was a touch odd.) Very pleasantly matey all round in a different way to the hostel.

Got a cab back and for some silly reason on seeing a bar open next to the hostel I have come down here. I guess I should still not be to bed too late and hence not up too late. I doubt it will be possible but I am seriously tempted to stay another day, I think I may ask at reception tomorrow and if I can stay on at the same hostel I will, otherwise I will probably go on Sunday as planned.
