Did you get sorted in the end?

I'm in Dublin 2 / 4 and haven't found a regular spot to watch football.

I'm not a fan of Slattery's due to their attitude towards football fans. They closed on FAI Cup Final day a few years ago as the potential clientele wasn't welcome. Their preference is very much rugby football and they'd often have reruns / replays of these matches showing ahead of live football. That said, I understand the bar manager responsible for this stance has recently moved on.

I prefer The 51 on Haddington Road as they have numerous screens and try to accommodate as many customer viewing requests as possible at any given time.

Slatterys ran a number of promotions to get people there for the World Cup last summer. It's a rugby pub but they seem to embrace football a bit nowadays.

Searsons on Baggot Street is alright for football. Loads of screens and a good bar.

Slattery's softened their stance towards football in recent years alright. Needs must, I guess. The YBIG lads linked up with them and have based themselves there before and after all home Ireland games for the last good while. As has been stated, they'd drinks promotions for the Euros last year too.

But there was a spell around 2007-2011 where they didn't welcome football at all. They'd a "no football" attire rule, often didn't show matches and, as mentioned, they closed on FAI Cup Final day on one occasion during that timeframe. It was when Shamrocks Rovers were involved in a final if I recall correctly.

Any Pub in Ringsend. I prefer The Yacht or Clarkes.
