    Evening Folks,

    Can anyone recommend some good pubs or one in particular for the World Cup , will be in Dublin for the first week of the World Cup and I am in need of a good pub. House I live in isnt sports orientated and I will be going to Holland for the rest of the WC so just need a good pub to tide me over for the start.

    Cheers

    Mr Chong.

    A lot of the 'after-work pubs' in the Dublin 2 area (Leeson St, Harcourt St, Mount St) are pulling out all the stops to get people in for the lunchtime game and then again for the 7oclock game.
    Temple Bar area will probably be decent enough, its also a likely place for any Spanish, Yank, Italian etc fans to go to if they happen to be on holiday here whilst a match is on. It would add to the atmosphere if you could watch with fans from one of the teams.
    Also try the Woolshed for Aussie / New Zealand games.

    Yes, as you come from O'Connell Bridge it's the last right turn before you get to Parnell Street

    Yep, can't remember the old name of it though.

    Great set up now for barstooling though, about fifty screens in the place and they have all kinds of Arabic and Asian channels of the satellites.

    Huge smoking are shared with Fibbers out the back.

    Defo Des will do, hoping to work from home for the first Dutch match against Denmark, as it's on at 12.30 I think.

    Would Dohenys or maybe O'Donoghues have it on?

    Why not sinnotts ? :)

    The Wool Shed is always my recommendation for watching televised sporting events.

    Good friendly atmosphere in the place and lots of nationalities. Cheap drink and decent food.

    Lots of tellies and two massive wall projections.

    The only problem is their air-con is crap and the place gets quite hot when full.

    Headed in to Doheny and Nesbits, grand place to watch the game.

    And the result I wanted :D
