WoW Gaming Cafes in Dublin

    I recently moved up here and where I am the broadband speed is very slow I'm at the end of the exchange. :(
    So I was wondering if anyone here knows of a good internet cafe in Dublin that I can go to play. I don't mind traveling into the city centre or anything so where ever is great! :) Normally I'd bring my laptop to a cafe and just use the wifi but if I'm going to pay money to play I'd rather play on a lovely big lcd and tower system with kick ass specs :P

    Five star on talbot street have decent pc's and net and is only 1 euro per hour. 1 thing to make sure you do is change your password every time your finished.

    ok great but does it have like proper gaming computers? I used to go to a super nice one in cork that had the regular tip tap check your mail etc computers downstairs and then the higher spec gaming computers upstairs kind of thing. So no one is bothering each other you know?
    I'm not looking for something exactlythe same but if anyone knows of one along the same lines would be brill.
    I noticed a place called Spidernet I think and it looks awesome but it's mostly fps games and it doesn't have wow i dont think. Wasn't on it's list of games anyway.

    Ye I'd say that place has the best PCs in any netcafe you'll find in dublin but I'm not sure if the have wow on the PCs seemed to be fps games they had. But I've never been in there so u can check yourself

    Aye workhouse is the best spot I've ever come across! I loved it there, wanted to stay in cork just to be near that place but unfortunately work took me up here to Dublin :(

    Been wandering around dublin city since about 12pm today... yet to find any web cafes that aren't your normal "check your mail" etc

    I suck at finding places, trying to locate that 5 star place, not having much luck, and also trying to find spidernet... haven't come across that either... :(

    So I stopped into a normal cafe to google map them :P viva la internet!!

    By the way, if anyone up near dublin plays wow let me know, always like to meet new people etc and could do with a few buddies who actually know where they are lol I think I've gotten wrong directions from just about anyone I've asked today got sent all the way up past trinity once :(

    I know where I went wrong now this time though... didn't walk far enough :P TY google maps!

    Found 5 star and it has wow and i'm happy enough with the computers but bloody heck it's hot in here!! I've taken off as much clothing as possible and I'm still roasting >.<

    Anywho... this shall be my new haunt until I can get the broadband provider changed in my house, seems my next door neighbour has perfect broadband and for some reason ours is major suck ass slow...

    Thanks for all the help!!

    Yeah web-workhouse is the bomb, also heard good things of the Area 51 place in Cork too.

    The place Horsefumbler and eniarah are on about is Xtreme Gaming or such, if you head north across the Ha'penny Bridge and travel up the street infront of ya its on your left at the corner of the first block of buiildings. Quite an open,airy place, big monitors and quite decent rigs.

    Sure me and 3 other of my buddies went into web-workhouse and entered into a battlefield comp and we came 3rd and won over 150 euro each thats quite good just for entering a gaming compitition. They need to promote more events like this if ya ask me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,531 ✭✭✭Drakar


    They seem to do alot of leagues and competitions in that Xtreme Gaming place too (also with xbox360s etc). I've only been in there to print a page once (20c - bargain!), but it seemed pretty active.

    I felt dirty taking the money though cause there was only 5 teams entered :rolleyes:
