Just start on Quay Street and make yer own way. Planning these things is hardly any fun.

when we did it last year, we arrived in neachtans only to be told they "don't allow groups of 7 or more" (why 7?) but then they recognised one of us and it was grand, just a heads up for ye though. doing 12 pubs on saturday week, don't have a list though, anyone know where to find a christmas jumper?

Ours this Sat. In it's 4th year. We vary it a bit most years.
Neachtains don't like crowds for some reason. Maybe they thinks it's a stag.

Last year we managed to do 12 pubs, 1 pint in each, starting from Crowes on Prospect Hill, stopping in every bar we passed.

Ended up doing 15 pubs, and finishing in the Living Room drinking pitchers of cocktails (or so I've been informed):D

Absolute must-visit pubs on the 12 pubs of Christmas are: Miles Lee/Dew Drop In, Tigh Coili, Taaffes and Freeneys.

Can't beat the good old man pubs;)

Blasphemy not to mention Murphys when naming such places :eek:

useurename

be careful when entering as a group in to some pubs during the day with 20 people.blu note massimo and crane would be fairly stict on not letting 20 people into a pub after 9 pubs and its only 7.00 pm.same as cuba/ellar kings head.did it last year.great craic but very messy

Mr.Mago

Can be very messy alright. Were starting in Crowes in Bohermore and then making the way to Forster Street and from Eyre Sqaure to Quay Street.

the whole year inn

doing it on saturday 20 strong should be good espically after the prodigy concert on friday.roll on friday!!

banshee_bones

Stumbled across some acquaintences doing it last year, all very official, had the barman in each bar sign for the pub they went to! Guess its good to have proof the next morning oh and teh ability to retrace your steps if you have memory loss! :D

I was out on Friday night in Taffee's. I was there for a good skip of drink. A large number of groups were in and out during the night. I've never seen the doorman so busy. I plan to do the 12 pubs on Wednesday but after what I saw and after speaking to a few barmen (Dáil Bar, Dew Drop and Taffee's) We'll be lucky to get into any bars. One group of about 15 came in and dropped there pints glasses on the ground after finishing there drinks. A group of 35 came in to the Dáil bar and caused havoc.

Behave dudes, please don't feck it up for the rest of us.

I hope these **** had to clean it up or pay.

Was in Murphy's for a pre-Xmas-work-do pint Friday night round 8, and in walked about 15 lads (obviously on the 12 pubs...), bar man said "no chance lads, not tonight" or something to that effect and they realised they weren't getting served there, left and off they went.

Off topic but an interesting sign hanging below the TV behind the bar: "No stag parties & no hen parties"

I used google wave to organise the 12 pubs this year. Finally found a use for the thing!

Nope, too many off them, the doorman (hardy buck) got two of them and a few of the barmen came out to support, but the bar was weged.

I didn't want to use the term but yes a bunch of ****.

I've seen a few signs like that, less lately as the economy's got tighter. "No hens or stags" policies are pretty common, just not everyone makes 'em official. And some are only applied to particularly troublesome looking groups.

IMHO it should only be allowed to count as a "12-pubs" if you don't get chucked out of anywhere, and still get served in #12.

It's not a superpub.
Stand outside, send in a pointman to bring out the tray.

Anyone on for "12 offies"?

Must be the worst pub for that sort of thing, its like a shoe box.
