    Which venue?

    I am including the yelp.ie page for each of the bars in question, so you can read some reviews.
    I think they are all fine pubs. Just bear in mind that Against the grain is all craft beers as I think is JW sweetmans? The others have a mixture of both craft and commercial beers except Mcgrattans which stocks no craft beers.....

    Anyway get voting. I'll make the vote Multiple choice so you can pick a few different venues if you like.

    Against the Grain

    McGrattans

    The Long Hall

    Palace Bar (Fleet St, not Camden St!!)

    Mulligans

    JW Sweetman (formerly Messrs maguire)

    Voting closes in 1 week!!

    Don't forget you have to apply for a Dublin visa! We need to closely monitor the numbers of langers on the streets of our fair city ;)

    You'd love the Palace so, plenty of aul lads downstairs sipping on whisky.
    About 10 years ago I was there till late and we had a nice old style lock in (not sure they'd get away with that anymore :rolleyes:). Great boozer, been in the same family hands for the last 100+ years ( I think it was featured in a recent docu/film about traditional Irish pubs).

    Edit: That's it at 41 seconds!!

    Wow, Messrs maguire is not proving too popular!!
    I also see a distinct lack of people who want to go to a 'craft beer only' pub :pac:

    Why don;t we just crash the Sportsworld X-Mas party, get trashed, wreck the place and tell everyone that we are from the "Knockloyn Joggers Athletic Club"

    No I am totally impartial ;)
    I'd actually prefer a craft beer place myself but the 'people' have the right to decide.

    The only thing that's confusing me is why we're not starting in the afternoon just after the jingle bells race? Anyone else up for that?

    I was just thinking that, we're going to be in Dublin anyway so I'm definitely in. Bit of lunch and a few pints, be grand!

    Nice one.. I think there's more of a chance of me just hanging round for a couple of afternoon pints, rather than the whole day and night.. see how it goes anyway.

    I think the drinks after the race were assumed. Of course you have to have a bite to eat and a few pre-drinks in the afternoon. Then we can start drinking drinking at 8 o'clock in the Palace, or wherever the voting public chooses.

    Oh i know, i was at a GS do years ago had drank my body weight in red wine. Went to toilet and done the gentlemanly thing and got sick in the toilet not urinal. Now red wine puke looks a bit like blood if you dont look to close, one of my mates went to toilet not to long after me and had a fit(not drink related) in same toilet i got sick.

    Next man to go to toilet was a high ranking investigator in the guards, seen my pal & puke, place was shut down quicker than a whoors knickers. The same man was loooking for promotion big time. Sirens, blue lights everywhere. He came out and said " Unknown is after gettin stabbed in the toilet" . He wasn't best impressed when i told him it was my red wine puke:p:p
