Lads weekend in Dublin

best pub to watch celtic?

 

Any that is home to a Celtic Supporters Club. So mainly:

Naomh Phadraig CSC - QUINNS, Drumcondra
Dublin No. 1 CSC - The Red Windmill, 199 Phibsborough Road

I head to the Naomh Phadraig CSC to watch games whenever I am in Dublin at match time. Great atmosphere, very friendly and the place is packed.

I don't know off the top of my head if there are more CSCs in Dublin than that, but I'd bet there are.

 

Guinness factory is good for a laugh and the guy was giving us free refills at the bar up the top ended up leaving pished at 2 in the afternoon and that was us on it for 2 days!:icon_mrgreen:

 

cheers m8!

 

i live in city centre, its a good city. quays bar in temple bar isnt bad. fitzsimons is good too. i prefer to stay georges street grafton street stephens green and harcourt street area Great atmosphere around the place.Take a tour bus of city and get off at guinness store house and kilmainham gaol. They are very good. Stay southside.

 

Aw man I had to laugh at that when I saw your location.

 

guess your geographically aware of the dublin city layout........wink wink

 

Oh, very much so. :smiley-laughing002:

Surprised to see anyone from Dublin 4 on this forum to be honest.

 

What's so good or popular about Temple Bar? Does it have any history about it?

 

It was re-developed a few years ago and is now an overpriced tourist attraction for the most part. It's just a few streets with bars. There's better almost anywhere else in the city centre.

 

I did a proper LOL at this. :smiley-laughing002:

 

Cheers. Had been planning to go over to Dublin with the bird at some point this year but I linked her to this thread and she's been put off. lol

 

Go into the heart of any major European city and you will most likely pay over the odds for food and drink. Dublin is no different in fact dublin has some of the cheapest hotel rooms in Europe. Temple bar is a lively hive of pubs clubs and restaurants with a great atmosphere about the place. A must see if visiting Dublin ,in all the cities I have visited I don't think anywhere has anything like temple bar. Drink can be expensive but that wouldn't deter me from visiting.

 

Well, that's no good. Dublin is definitely worth a visit - I'm there often - I just think Temple Bar is a poor example of what the city has to offer if it's your first time there.

Just arrived home. What a great weekend!
We arrived at 2:45 just before Celtic/Hearts kick off. Taxi straight to Quinn's as a lot of folk had told us that they would be showing the game. It was * dead and the game wasn't on! (Liverpool instead.). Couldn't believe nowhere was showing the game. Poor show!
We generally just stuck to the Templebar area and it was great. Wasn't as expensive as I thought. Went with 230 euro and came back with 20. Went to Quays Bar on Saturday and it was amazing. Ended the night with an Eddie Rocket's. This place is the best place on Earth.

 

If you're saying Eddie Rockets is the best place on earth then I agree with you.

 

I am lol

 

Eddie Rockets I've ended a couple of nights there :icon_mrgreen:
