Best places in Dublin to watch European football

Bateman

Wondering are there any pubs in Dublin these days that show a few European games at the same time on busy nights?

Years ago, Frazers (now Murrays) at the top of O'Connell St used to pack them in on Sunday nights and busy Champions League nights, but is there anywhere comparable these days?

Main immediate reason being I have an Italian asking me if there is anywhere to watch the Inter game tomorrow night, tempted to just say no, unfortunately with the English teams playing it's unlikely to be on in many places

GLaDOS

The Woolshed on Parnell street will show it I'd say

Richard Hillman

The woolshed is great for European football. There will be plenty of Italian Inter fans there as well.

Sound, cheers lads

Richmond Park, Inchicore, Dublin 8.

There's a team called St. Patricks Athletic there that dish out hidings to teams from literally the furthest corners of Europe (Kazakhstan anybody?). European
nights in our city can be brilliant though, you should take a friend along sometime and check it out. You'll have a great time I think.

As an LOI nerd myself I have been at plenty such nights, favourite recent memory from the stadium of mud though would have to be the 2008 cup semi final replay, yes that's CUP

Murrays,
Top of O'Connell St just before Parnell St.

Was there last night, packed full of fans for celtic, juventus, bayern, chelsea and Barca.
They had every match on. Barca Celtic on 1 huge projector screen, and Bayern on the other huge one.
The rest were on 32inchs

Always full on Sat/Sun nights too for La Liga

Bateman

That's where I was thinking alright, I thought they had calmed down in recent years and it wasn't like that anymore, sounds like it's still the business for the foreigners who want to watch their team though

cheers

It is a good place, the Living Room/Fibbers/Murray's for sports. My go-to place if I'm wanting to engage in some barstoolery

Bateman

The Living Room is a different boozer entirely is it not? Not a great place for a game IMO. Murrays, while also being a kip at least has the charm of plenty of fanatic Spanish/Italians etc watching their teams

have you ever been into the garden of any of the three pubs?

Out the back?

I watched the WC Final, various CL finals and Euro finals in there, it's the same place, pretty much.

They MAY keep the animals form Murray's separated, but not very well.

there does be huge queues outside The Living room for the big games, I usually just walk into Fibbers, grab a jug of Mad Dog lager, then ramble on out to the beer garden, laughing at the people on Cathal Brugha Street still waiting.

Bateman

cheers, makes sense now

SeantheMan

Yeah, "The Living Room" "Murrays" and "Fibbers" share their back with the Huge Screen.

They MAY keep the animals form Murray's separated, but not very well.

The animals are from Fibbers, Murrays is fine . GREAT place to go for El Classico

It was/is the pub for the Barcelona Supporters club in Ireland.
At the business end of the Champions League it's a 5er in, but you get a free drink with that I think
(The reason the doorman told me - was to make the Spanish pay something, else they'd all just bum in, watch the match and go home without gettin a drink :P )

The upstairs part of Murrays only opened yesterday at 7pm, for Champions League night, so ye can plan it around that, get there and get a decent spot in front of the screen your team will be on :cool:

BOHtox

Anywhere but Tallaght Stadium anyway :cool:

I don't get the above comment. Because we lost to Celtic or what?
The club itself are great, members meet up and have a good laugh. They are also an "official" penya, so can sort out tickets.
Some members got tickets for last weeks game in Celtic Park through them.
I've got tickets to the Emirates to see them when we lost to Arsenal and had tickets through them last year for the Spanish Cup Final.
