List of Free WiFi in Dublin

magpie · 2005-10-12 18:14:03

Second this - great place for a sandwich or coffee while you do a bit of work on the laptop. It may even become my temporary office!

A few places in Swords have it now, all thanks to the County Council's wireless initiative. One place that has it is Millers coffe shop at the end of the main street - a lovely little place that does nice all day breakfasts!

Is that the place that used to be Rooneys Insurances? Or possibly a bakery (or was that next door)?

Not sure if this is in the spirit of the thread but the members bar at Sports Link Health Center beside the Airport has free unblocked wifi/broadband access. Handy while the sprogs are swimming, helps pass the time

Anybody know if this list is up to date?

I found a web site that has a map of free hotspots all over the place. Just search Dublin;

www.free-hotspot.com

Not sure how up to date that web site is, but its a special free wifi group that companies sign up for.

you can get it on and off somtimes in Moda in Rathmines

Hi there,

The cafe Moda is on Lower Rathmines Road, 192.
I was there once and detected 2 networks but signal too bad to get connected. Maybe depending where you sit in the cafe? I was upstairs in the couch where were you?

Does anyone knows any other free wifi in Rathmines?
I am not sure there is one in the Mc Donalds of Swan Center?

I know that you can connect to Bitbuzz from a lot of places but it's really expensive.

Sorry for my English and thanks for the good deals

Hi, I'm a bit new to the whole laptop-owning / wireless using thing. Does anyone know if there are bars or cafes in Dublin where you get free wireless, and do you have to ask for it if there are? or has that idea gone the way of the Celtic Tiger? thanks

Are we any closer to a comprehensive list on this?

I just got an iPod Touch and free wi-fi would greatly influence my choice of pub.

Any help appreciated.

Avoca bar in Blackrock offer it
Also, 40ft Bar in Dun Laoghaire seem to offer it too.

Also in Blackrock, Cafe Java on the Main Street, unsecured network - just connect. Insomnia will give you a half hour free of their Eircom wireless, if you buy something I suppose.

Well that would certainly be one way to speed up their bankrupcy. I think they should give away free DSL to everyone as well!

I'm interested in this too. Looking for a pub in or near the city centre which will allow me/us to check online over a meeting while having a drink. Was thinking the Market Bar but a poster above said they cut it off after 20 minutes so that's not a runner now.

Any ideas?

The Academy Plaza Hotel just of O'Connell Street has very good free WiFi in its bar as long has you are a customer. Nice bar as well, only new. It's just around the corner at the Gresham beside the D.I.T college I was in.

T.P. Smiths opposite Jervis has free wireless, just don't plug in your laptop if there's a chubby baldy oullad around. Even if ya paid for a drink your not entitled to their precious electricity? Or Solas bar on Camden st, but they may be bit out of the way for ya

If you sit downstairs and sit inside behind the AirCoach Stand (they're outside), across from the ATM on that level, you have free wifi. You just have to open your browser and accept the terms and conditions. There is a bar/cafe in that corner too. Just be sure you connect to the access point with "Stand" in the name as the other ones are the buses with onboard wireless access points.

Insomnia's all over Dublin seem to have got a contract with Vodafone for free Wifi.

SSID: Vodafone WIFI
Security: None
Speed: 4 to 7Mbps

They're everywhere - here's the list of stores (below) with wifi and without. Check the Vodafone icon.
