purple hands, I've moved your question into a dedicated thread. Have a read of this and it will suggest good pubs.

Official supporters pub this season is Murty Rabbitte's I think.

Hi all. Anybody recommend any good pubs in Galway to watch the FA Cup Final next week?

biko · 22-05-2017 6:29pm

Any pub really.
Oslo in Salthill has a very big screen.

ben.schlomo · 22-05-2017 9:22pm

Screen is the Oslo is very poor quality, unless its been changed. OP try places geared towards sports like McGinns, McGettigans or Dew Drop.

I think Dew Drop is the Arsenal supporters pub in Galway so it would be a good spot for atmosphere anyways. It can get a bit tight in there for big games though.

Another vote for The Dew Drop.

Downstairs in The Cellar is a great hidden gem, never seems to be too packed anytime I go in, although that's rarely for any big games. But there's screens everywhere.

Thanks for the suggestions,McGinns looks good as does the Dew Drop,though being a Chelsea fan it might be a bit dubious lol

Munroes was/is a chelsea supporters pub. Savage craic.

billybh · 23-05-2017 5:21pm

Went in there about a year ago when a Chelsea -Arsenal match was on - I'm not a Chelsea fan but I figured they'd have it on - and they looked at me like I had four heads when I asked were they showing the match. I think since they've become more foody orientated they ain't half as concerned as they used to be about showing games.

Fairly sure I've seen them advertise stuff around different games on their FB in recent times.

Where would Celtic fans be likely to gather for the Scottish Cup final which is on beforehand?

billybh · 02-06-2017 4:24pm

Just a quick update.I went to Massimos to watch the match,they have a Chelsea supporters club there,so the flags were out,BBQ on and a great atmosphere.Just a pity about the result lol

Hey guys where would you recommend to watch the Champions League Final in Galway city centre tonight?

Thanks

Coillte_Bhoy · 08-06-2017 3:50pm

Will be at Pearse Stadium on Sunday for Mayo Galway but looking for best spot to watch 2nd half of Ireland game. Somewhere in Salthill i presume is best so any suggestions? Somewhere big with big screens as im sure there will be a rush after the GAA game

The Oslo in Salthill would be your best option.

TheKaiserChief · 10-06-2017 3:44pm

Can anybody suggest a pub for Sunday to watch both the Ireland v Austria qualifier (5pm) and Canadian Formula 1 grand prix right after at 7pm?

Would prefer to avoid Salthill due to Mayo v Galway as it will be crazy.

Thanks

Diabhal Beag · 10-06-2017 5:24pm

McGhettigans would have no issue throwing on the F1, especially after the Austria game. I know they've stuck on horse racing during big matches before on screens in the corner. Good food too.
