    talking to alot of people over the last few weeks about this and the feedback im getting is that united fans are spread out over 5 or 6 different pubs in the city, namely Alfies ballybricken, Ned kellys, Kasbar, The mansion house, and masons,
    giving a choice between that lot i would pick the mansion house followed closely by Alfies on ballybricken,
    the rest are ****holes.

    Masons. Full stop. Was there last year and they effort they made for the fans was unrivalled. They opened at 5....free pints for a good few, free food, tons of screens, 2 big screens, man utd songs, and flags in the place...my cousin won 180 quid with the golden goal competition...

    From other threads you'll see that im very critical of the nightlife in waterford but i really don't see why someone would call it a ****ehole...more waterford begrudgery?

    Would have to agree with Masons, was also there last year and the place was packed out. The atmosphere in there was fantastic and the dj was also a Man United fan. I cant wait for tomorrow night and I'll be in there from about 5ish to get a good seat.

    was in there a few weeks ago for the munster v leinster match and the drink was stink and overpriced and the so called free food (4 basket of wedges between over 100 people) was very poor.

    il stick to a real pub in either alfies or the mansion.

    Well I can only comment on last years CL final in there and the food at half time was Chicken, Chips, and sausages, if memory serves me right and there seemed to be plenty to go around

    Well if you don't like a place just don't go there again, fair enough. But I don't see how what you have said constitutes it being a ****hole. First off, Id doubt that it was only 4 baskets...they wouldn't bother their arse getting food just to get four baskets...secondly, it was free so you really you nothing to complain about except for the fact that maybe you just enjoy complaining.

    Personally, if i was in a bar and the beer was muck, I'd go to the next place. But honestly I wouldn't go bitching about it online - reason being, if a pint is bad, it could be for a number of reasons and there's a good chance it may not be bad next time.

    I had a rotten pint in geoffs a couple of weeks ago but last week i had one and it was smashing. Seriously...we can't be bitching about bars not doing enough to get our custom, and then bitching again when they try. Free food? Not enough free food dammit!! The term give an inch and look for a mile comes to mind.

    Also the Kazbar are having a night for this tomorrow night, it's not a personal choice of mine cause I think they only have 1 or 2 tellies, but apparently they're doing food etc too

    We were there for the Man U V arsenal semi final and the League cup final and we got a load of food. It may not be my first choice for a weekend night out but for sports it's unrivalled imo.

    Twas full to the brim last night in there....what an atmosphere, despite the result.

    Carlsberg is okay in fairness..there are worse out there...I'd say you just got a bad one mate.
