Pubs around Croke Park (post pandemic)

There's been a significant loss of pubs in the past few years. Quinns is gone, the Red Parrot is gone (although it was suggested they'd open for matches like the Big Tree used to), Sunset House is gone, Dorset Lounge (Caulfields Hotel) is gone.

Hogan Stand is open (with some outdoor seating), the Hideout had its signs out on the NCR so I guess its open, Auld Triangle is open (with about six outdoor seats). The Croke Park Hotel seems to have a decent sized area out back so that might be a good shot.

Big Tree will reopen - as a hotel bar, at a fraction of its size - soon but probably too late for the final.

Wasn't aware of that, worth knowing. Not a great outdoor area though from memory.

avoid the bridge tavern

Fagans was wedged on the day of the Limerick/Waterford semi. Went in for a Club Limerick Dublin function. Food looked decent, only stayed for 1 as it was way too packed.

Patrick McGraths in Drumcondra is open but as you can imagine it fulls up quite quick

Croke Park Hotel been closed is a headache for match goers

Murrays out front is closed. The shared back area is accessed via the Living Room or Fibbers at the minute. It'll probably be busy enough outdoors less so indoors with pass.

Hill 16 pub is up for sale as vacant, won't be open for anything for a while

Was at the All Ireland U20 final last Sunday and to say the pub situation was dire in Drumcondra would be an understatement. Firstly none of the limited spots I went to around CP were letting match goers sit inside. And then you had to queue up starting outside to get inside for your drink and go back straight outside. The Hideout started this around 11.30, the Auld Triangle did aswell and then stopped for 15 minutes at midday because they said the guards were coming. Very difficult get a drink on that side of the ground. Gills closed. Red Parrot Closed. Caufields Hotel gone. The Temple closed. Big Tree gone. Quinns gone. Hogan Stand closed.

After the match we went back to the Auld Triangle and got a couple there and then went to The Celt on Talbot St. That was being run like a pre pandemic pub and was absolutely wedged with Offaly people. It nearly took off with the celebrations.

I'd say trying to get a pint anywhere near CP this weekend will be a nightmare. Maybe Clonliffe House could be best bet. There's very little left on the Hogan Stand side.

For the bigger events you're nearly better heading into the O Connell steet area for a few pre match/concert and then walking to the ground

Pubs will be jammed for the September Garth Brooks concerts

Partially open and now called Juno - looks like will b fully open in a few weeks time

The bus for Garth Brooks is parking in whitehall GAA pitch

What's the beat pubs around that area?

Yeah the bus company siad it was the closest place to the stadium the DCC could give them

Suppose if you're walking with a crowd you won't feel the time go by

The cowboy boots will get there use

The Croke Park Hotel is the best spot. You just have to be there early to be sure of getting in. Their restaurant is ok too.
