Swiss football team to Dublin - what to do after hours?

Hello. I am organizing our football team's yearly voyage this year and we are arriving in Dublin in November. It is to me to arrange this as my english is good and I love Ireland (I have never visited, but I am every year at Guinness Irish Festival in Sion). We are staying in Conrad Dublin and will visit places recommended on visitdublin.com like Johnnie Fox's and Guinness Factory.

My question is what is good for us after hours? We are men in our 30s and 40s some married some not. I am not finding frank talk on the internet about where is good night-clubs.

Thank you for your advices. I wait for you for all complimentary questions.

If you're here on the 2nd you could catch the FAI Cup Final which is played in the Aviva Stadium. Tickets normally cost E10.

Thank you. I am getting a response in my gmail "Too early to being up the Nazi gold?". What is this saying? I am not understanding the Irish humor on this site. We were neutral in the war (like Ireland?).

Thank you for this information. It is €10 to register in advance the ticket for your final? Or it is €10 for paying for the ticket of your final? It is not possible?

I deleted that response, don't worry too much about it, you posted in a part of boards that is known for that type of posting. You'll get more helpful replies here.

This email before is for "artanevilla".

I am understanding now how the emailing is working. Nazi is Germany. We are Switzerland = Neutral. I am not even speaking German. We are Suisse Romande, speaking French. That "Red Pepper" who emails me about "Nazi Gold" is like Americans who says Ibrahimovic is playing for Switzerland.

Copper face jacks is probably one of Dublins most (in)famous nightclubs.
Plenty of 'Craic' to be had here!
Highly advisable for the single lads!
Temple Bar contains all the pubs where the tourists usually go, but prices can be very dear.
It may be worth a look, but I wouldn't spend all your time or money there.
The Conrad is v near Coppers nightclub.
A good pub would be O'Donoghues on Merrion Row, not far away.
The Dubliners started off here, and its usually packed full of a good crowd.
Lastly, have a great time!

This is the informations that I am looking for. "Craic" yes, I understand. You Irish are famous for that. We have imagination of "les anglaises" English/Irish womens as fat but fun. It's true?

€10 for the final. Tickets won't be on sale yet as the competition for 2014 hasn't started.

Skip Johnnie Foxs pub. Its a tourist bar and not really an authentic pub. Go to Kavanaghs aka the grave diggers in Glasnevin, beside the cementary. There wont be trad music, but its an authentic irish pub and looks like it hasn't changed in a 100 years. Its about 15-20 mins from the conrad on a bus.

Coopers has a late license meaning it will be open until about 4am and you wont find anything else like it in Dublin

Fat and angry, too much make up . Think they're 8's when they're 3's, more baggage than Ryanair. Yes they are a hoot.

I kid I kid , you will have fun. Try Cafe En Seine. The hairy lemon a cool pub nice pint which is rare in Dublin city centre.

It's true Jean! You will be able to get tickets on the day at the Stadium.

Believe it! Most people in this country support the English League rather than the Irish, but that's not a discussion for here, so you get about 10,000 at the Cup Final, which, in a 50,000 seater means 10 euro tickets.

This doesn't mean the football isn't of a decent standard though, and it would be a good day out for football fans.

Don't give away all the best places now!

Thank you for the informations on pubs.

Can you tell me more about night-clubs. We must visit this Copper Face Jacks. Where else is good to meet fun Irish women? We are men aged 30's and 40's so not a teenager night-club.

Wow! Even for a 30-40 year-old 'Russian', that is pretty rude. I hope none of the ladies you may meet are readers of this forum.

It is not meant to be rude. That it what we have in imagination if you like. It is the stereotype. But also a friend went to study there for six months and told me it is true. I do not know Irish girls. None come to Guinness Irish Festival here.

Great way to insult half the nation on the double.

1. We are not English
2. We are not all fat.

Mod note: If you think there is a problem with a post or poster, use the Report Post function, tia.

In general, you probably would find the average irish female fatter than the average swiss gal

Same for the men.

And this is the one (Red Pepper) who is mailing me about Nazi gold, and you want to call me WUM? If I am understanding correctly (thanks for using Irish slang to a foreigner) someone who want to create trouble or who lies... Not me, you.

Any other nightclubs recommendations and reasons are welcome. (I already know about Copperface Jack's and Café en Seine).

I don't rate Johnnie Fox's as worth visiting,try and arrange a couple of matches

Johnnie Fox may be quite touristic, but they do very nice food, there is great scenery and nice music.

I would definitely go.

Ye should all get taxi's and have an evening at The Blue Light pub in the mountains above Dublin, wrap up for November though. https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Blue-Light-Pub/119509234746936

Alors, c'est parti! The planes are reserved. We are 16, coming to Dublin for the 6-9 Novembre. Thanks for the advices so far. Mainly we have decided on Johnny Fox's (we are tourists) and we would like to watch a rugby game or a hurling game. We will see what is available when we get closer.

Every night will be night club. The Coppers and if we can find a club for 40+ we will try that too.
