    Hi guys,

    Myself and a few mates are heading to Dublin for the weekend. Just wondering where around the city will be best to watch the two big games on Saturday?

    Cheers!!

    Kiely's in Donnybrook. Very, very good chance of bumping into Ross O'Carroll Kelly there. Roysh !

    Dame lane a crap pub though and cant imagine a good atmosphere for football matches......
    Best bet OP are the Woolshed on Parnell Street, The living room off O'Connell Street (best screen) or Sinnott's beside St. Stephen's Green shopping centre

    They'll definitely show it, as they love money more than they hate soccer fans, but after the match is over they'll start getting snotty and kick people out.

    The first people to go will be the people they are all to willing to take cash off while the soccer is on, but their money isn't good enough afterwards.

    The Leinster jerseys will get to stay though.

    Didn't realize that, only ever watched rugby there. In that case I advise the living room OP.

    Upstairs in TP Smiths on Jervis St is a great place to watch a match.

    Big screen with plenty of smaller screens, Good food and never too packed unlike the Woolshed.

    Living Room for sure, it's probably the best

    Definitely the Living Room, huge screen inside and outside. Pitchers from €10.

    ...and has more foreign clientele, so would be better for Soccer than Rugby.

    I'm not 100% sure, but I think there'll be a lot of DIT students in there on Saturday, as a lot of us are finished exams in Cathal Brugha Street on friday. As far as I can remember they have some sort of end of exams party that night.
