I live City Center/Work IFSC.

Sadly, this evening, I'll be watching the match on Twitter. It's my work Christmas party.

Im in Rathcoole but i dont mind travelling into city centre.
Providing i dont get delayed in work that is lol

As per the other thread, looks like we're going to try and get a crowd together to watch the Biarritz match on Friday night.
It's only on the Red Button, so we need somewhere with Sky.

So far we have two people interested, both living near Grand Canal. We're talking about going to Slattery's for it, but if more people are interested, post the area you live, and we'll try to organise for a pub that suits everyone

Seems like a good crowd heading to Searsons down the road to watch the match as well. Toners is packed after the Leinster match.

Rang Toners on upper baggot street/merrion row. He has two boxes and they have a massive beer garden at the back and the match will be shown.

The big thing today is that is not actually on Sky Sports its on Red Button Sky Sports and so many pubs have NTL.

Ill have a place that we are heading at 2pm. Hope to see a few around.

Difficult shout lads with so many people having Sky Sports at home. Think the thing is for one or two to make a call early for the location and communicate it out in the lead uo. If you're definitely heading to The Woolshed, I'll tweet it out there.

With regards to a definitive Pub it's a trial and error thing, often the best venues aren't the best hosts after a few events the best one becomes clear. Just got to put the hard yards in...

I'll be heading out to the pub. No idea where to go but the Woolshed is less than 5 minutes walk from me so that suits me grand.

Guys any ideas for tomorrow, a few of us heading out from the site. Looks like we might have to end up in the Wool Shed.

Not sure if any of ye lads would be interested in this. I am part of the Connacht Clan committee and received notification about this event coming up. Please let me know whether any of ye would be interested?

As an update, I was into the Black Sheep recently. Awesome food, great beer, my loyalty card from the Salthouse is still valid...but no telly.

having lived in dublin for 10 yrs before relocating down here i can appreciate how difficult it is to find a pub willing to show a game especially if it is clashing with the soccer.

Mayes at the top of Dorset st, just as you turn from the hill at end of o connell st is owned by a man from the roscommon side of Carrick on shannon. its very popular with the connacht gaa supporters when up for croker. Its a small bar by dublin standards.
Messr Maguires was galway owned at one stage and still gets a lot of westies in(so im told).

Another option for yee even on a short term basis is Break for the Border. They already have a relationship with MRSC Dublin Branch who use it for Munster Games. Its a very big pub with lots of tvs and going by MRSC branch emails look after them very well.

Mrsc Dublin can be contacted via email on mrscdublin@munsterrugby.ie or via facebook (Munster rugby supporters club dublin branch) and twitter MRSCDUBLIN@MRSCDUBLIN. I think its all caps but not sure re twitter. Im sure they will provide you with a contact in the bar and any info re other pubs you need. i know they were looking for a while before settling on Break for the border.

Happy hunting.

I note that the lads from Galway who have the Olso/Salthouse/Cottage now have three pubs in Dublin:

<li>Against the Grain (Wexford St)</li>
<li>The Black Sheep (Capel St)</li>
<li>The Brew Dock (Amiens St)</li>

If they're like the joints in Galway, the food and beer are excellent. Not too sure what the screen situation is so if anyone's visited them, do tell.

A possible venue for watching matches up there?

I'd definitely be up for heading to a pub in Dublin for any Connacht games that I cant make it home for. Just a shame, that the majority of them aren't on tv.

We should keep it in mind for when the HC comes around. If we had the numbers, we could ring the place in advance, make sure that they'd show the game, and get a group together.

Cant be the Zebre away game though. I'll be in New Zealand (as if I have mentioned this loads already)

Good stuff Cows, we'll keep the flag flying in Dublin. I recall from talking before to you that you're on the North Side as well?

City Center. Used to live in Drogheda, so that might have been why you thought Northside. Work in the IFSC, but live Southside now.

It would be great to get a pub up here showing all the Connacht games, but going by Buskers attempt in Galway, I'm not sure how popular it would turn out to be
