will be in dublin next wednesday with a couple of mates any ideas where is good to watch the footy?

The lotts bar on liffey st, just north of the ha'penny bridge. Small pub but good atmosphere with sound reds in it.

[Maldini]

That's a good spot alright, pretty much everywhere will have it on, so you'll be spoilt for choice.

Where are you staying? As Maldini says it'll be hard to find a pub without the match next Wed so you shouldn't have any problems.

Cheers lads I appreciate it. Think I might go to an Irish bar though ;-)

 

how far is the lotts bar from morrisons? walkable?

[sean]

The George is but a stones throw from the Morrisson. VERY FRIENDLY place.

Are you trying to send me to a gay bar mate?

Lotts is perfect for you so mate. It's on Liffey Street which is practically just around the corner from you.

 

Take a look here - Link

cheers Jimmy - I think I'll be going there. Was gutted when realised the trip clashed with the game but then realised it wont count towards loyalty for champions league anyway if we qualify so everything is dandy-o again now ;-)

When I moved to Dublin back in 97, the lads at work told me to meet up for a drink at the George.

 

Haha, feckers.

Isn't Lotts that tiny pub on the corner... will scoose need a back up pub in case Lotts is full?

Does Fitzsimons/the quays in temple bar show football games?

[Hector McDougal]

The Lotts bar is quite small and can be standing room only for big matches. Can be good atmosphere though which compensates for standing though. I was in there for all of the Champs league matches over the last few years and it's usually been a great laugh. They do have a much larger lounge section but the commentary is turned down in there so it's no craic.

Nearby alternatives would be Fitzsimons/the quays in temple bar as MickeyDocs says but they're both touristy dumps in my view. T.P. Smiths on Jervis st is just opposite the Morrison hotel and will have the match on with commentary. Big pub so you won't have a problem getting a seat in it.

There's a big room at the back of The Lotts, it's like two separate bars

f***inell - I think I've been there. I was a bit pissed and watched a match in there I think. Do they have bands on in the big bit?

[Maldini]

Yeah, a guy plays a piano up on an elevated mezzanine
