Wedding Day 2 Pub Suggestions - Swords Area

Bluezar

Hi,

I am getting married in mid July in Roganstown and we are looking for somewhere local for a Day 2 (will be a Sunday).
To give an idea we were hoping to use either the Cock Tavern or Chalk Venue/Schoolhouse. The Cock Tavern can't take the booking for a few months in case the Dubs are playing championship that day (and they will be too busy) and the Schoolhouse/Chalk Venue emailed me to say they don't take bookings during the day on the weekends - weird....

Could anyone recommend somewhere similar around Swords area or maybe Malahide that would be able to accommodate around 40 people for the day. Ideally somewhere with some decent screens to show whatever GAA is on that day and that would be able to do up some food platters or BBQ. Massive bonus points for a decent beer garden.

Thanks

I'd say your best bet is the Harp Bar. They have a nice area in the middle of the bar on the ground floor that's raised and has some lounge seating there along with bar stools etc. There is a TV in that area too but in terms of a beer garden not so much.

Old School house is constantly busy now so they probably are fine with the transient business.

The only beer garden of note is at the Coachman's. If the Dubs are playing then no pub is likely to book you a space for 40 people, they'll get more money from the GAA crowd. And as mentioned above the Old Schoolhouse is soo popular right now, they don't need a weekend booking.

peacocks in rivervalley worth a look.

You could try Fowlers in malahide, they have a place upstairs for private functions & they do food platters + there is a smashing smoking area.

Dont be at yourself

Jam Park in Airside?

Spook_ie

Weatherspoons The Old Borough possibly?

Kettle's? Close to Roganstown and might not be too bad if there's a Dublin game on, at least until after it.

Why not try Fingallians GAA or the 44 bar

To add my suggestion - Hogs and Heifers in Airside. Semi private room or tables can be booked, loads of screens, good food.

Try the Attic bar maybe beside the castle in Swords?

Was out for a pint in it last year (its upstairs in the pub) and there seemed to be a wedding day 2 celebration in full swing. Not too sure if they do food etc

I was going to suggest this. Upstairs area is really good, has a good amount of space, definitely enough room for 40 people. Platters are very nice too.
