gghjambo Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Lovely area ... very near the city centre but also some great pubs around it (ballsbridge, leeson St , baggot st) Short walking distance from the stadium also Hotel itself is old but is still a good hotel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green_Tide_Rising Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 (edited) a froup of 8 are staying on parnell st, cheap and cheerfull. Just wondering what times ur pubs open at? By law irish pubs are permitted (but not obliged) to open at 10.30am Monday - Saturday and 12 on a sunday Early house pubs open at 7.30 am Edited March 7, 2015 by Green_Tide_Rising Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girvanTA Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Sound mate. obviously tb is a tourist trap but if we did go there would we get into pubs with kilts on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green_Tide_Rising Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Sound mate. obviously tb is a tourist trap but if we did go there would we get into pubs with kilts on? Id expect ye to get into most pubs with kilts on mate. Id be pretty piss#d off as an irish man if our pubs security stopped entrance to our scottish guests into a pub because they were wearing kilts. Staff will know the game is on.....so im sure kilts will be expected and kilts will be fine. Provided ye aint completely out of yere brains drunk and ye aint causing trouble (which we know ye wont be) then access into most places will be fine mate With kilts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristolhibby Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 (edited) Sound mate. obviously tb is a tourist trap but if we did go there would we get into pubs with kilts on?Been to Ireland 5 times for the rugby and 3 times for the football. I have worn a kilt each time and never had any bother getting in anywhere. If anything the locals come up and chat to you because of the kilt.This isn't Glasgow. Kilts are very much welcome.

scottincarlisle Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 This isn't Glasgow. Kilts are very much welcome. J Yes there's nothing like going to a home game & the locals asking "is there a game on today?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jock strap Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 What's Dublin like sober ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goozay Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 What's Dublin like sober ? Challenging. I've always found Dublin and Ireland in general very pub orientated. If you're travelling around there's many a welcoming hostelry. There's stuff to do if you aren't drinking, but you'd walk past a lot of decent looking pubs to do them.

Robroysboy Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 This isn't Glasgow. Kilts are very much welcome. J Never been refused entry anywhere in Scotland, but I have read about incidents on here. Easyjet also got a bad name for refusing kilties on a plane. Think they were heading to a game in the 'dam, bloody racists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angus_Young Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 So it's best just to keep getting pissed I'm going to try this sober thing on a trip one day. I did it in Macedonia.

Some great info and will be useful when Intake the Clan to Dublin but seriously doubt I can give sobriety a go when watching Scotland. 9/10 times it drives you to drink A pint of the good stuff will be ready for you in June Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
