This is especially for the lads living in Dublin.
Just wondering if ye had any ideas of a few lads to hit the bars around Dublin.

usually when up for a match, either we hit Temple bar or go to the Twin Towers(Flannerys & Coppers).
anyone any ideas for other spots for the sat nite as i say it Twin Towers nite for the Sunday nite!

P.S, Don't mention the cattle mart called The Merchant Quay please!

Kehoes on Sth Anne Street.
Its halfway up Grafton St walking southbound take a left.

Other Contemporary pubs in the Snuffy style!
Alternative: Mulligans.
Alternative: The Palace Bar. Off O'Connell Br straight onto Westmoreland St and take the right turn heading down to 'The Temple Bar Massive' and its on yer immediate right! You might spot Nicky English or Thomas O'Se in there with mates as I often do!

Spot on Snuf. Great places for the jars of black porter.

Also try O' Donoghue's on Merrion Row, just before you come to Baggot Street from the Stephen's Green area. As traditional as traditional comes. There's dust on the dust in there.

woops: haha maybe not quite...Great big open air drinking garden out the back,.... good atmosphere...but sure if you want a good pint of Guinness then it may not be your man... but if you boys want some eye candy then happy days...

Sure why are you going all the way to dublin. The Sportsfield Bar in down town tralee is where you want to be on AI weekend. The barman (a mayo man) singing along while a former kerry footballer plays the box. Now thats what you call AI final weekend entertainment.

Is Holymoly an Interior Designer or Hairdresser by any chance!

I wasn't the one dying to go in there decked out in their village people gear - you'd want to see him lads. He grew the moustache and all special for the occasion.
I always wondered why Liams favorite bit in the Policae Academy movies was the blue oyster bar clips!!

To be honest i would put more importance on eye candy instead of Guinness!

And whats wrong with Interior Designers exactly?
