    Left bank is a nice spot.

    Went to the Ormonde hotel bar a few years back. An English couple had come in to watch a premiership game and as the kickoff time approached of the all Ireland football final, the bar began to fill up [about 20 people arrived in in different groups.] Barman totally refused to change the channel because the couple had been there first and had requested he turn on the English match. In fairness, they didn't have a clue what was going on so wasn't their fault. Had to go down to the Field to watch it in the end!

    Thats weird a lot of the time you will find that they have a schedule of what will be on an that stops any problems. what is the field like to watch a match? thats the one across from the left bank? Any other suggestions?

    Egans on john street or Billy Byrnes (although the service there is not good - very slow behind the bar). There'd be a good few in Langtons but most of them will be in for lunch/dinner

    I wouldn't go to the field myself. Personally, I stay clear of the central bars for big matches, somewhere in Irishtown like Cleeres or my old favourite the Nore Bar by Greens Bridge would be my preference.

    Just to bump this one, presumably any of these places mentioned will be good for the hurling replay on Saturday? And a langer such as myself will get out alive? :)
