Snooker Clubs in Dublin

foul&miss · 2007-02-09 15:51:15

Hello, after trying to find a snooker club in Dublin, I found that almost every website that lists clubs is hopelessly outdated. Therefore I would like to suggest a thread that lists as many Dublin snooker clubs as possible. If you know a club, it would be great if you could add it to this thread - name, address, phone…

Hello,

after trying to find a snooker club in Dublin, I found that almost every website that lists clubs is hopelessly outdated. Therefore I would like to suggest a thread that lists as many Dublin snooker clubs as possible.

If you know a club, it would be great if you could add it to this thread - name, address, phone number - and as much additional information as possible, e.g. number of tables, opening times, prices etc.

Maybe these (outdated) pages could serve as a starting point:

http://www.esatclear.ie/~irish-snooker/Snooker_club_in_Dublin.html
http://www.goireland.com/Scripts/low/xq/asp/cat.15/areatype.C/areaid.166/SubjectID.9/qx/listing.htm
http://www.goldenpages.ie/search/Dublin/snooker_clubs.html

I only know that these clubs are closed:

Fairview Snooker Club
Ricardos Snooker Hall
Jasons For Snooker

These clubs seem to be closed as well - but I'm not too sure:

Arcade Billiard Saloon
Snooker & Amusement Centre

It would be great if this could become an up-to-date list.

Thanks all!

Potters on the Crumlin Road closed about a year ago, to be re-opended.

I don't believe it ever did.

Sorry for bumping an old thread but I'm just wondering if there is anywhere in and around Dublin city centre you can have a casual game of snooker and a pint at the same time?

It seems that the Belgard Snooker club is closed now as well. Anyone know of any snooker clubs in and around the Tallaght area other than the Spawell?

Not too sure about the club closure other than that the plans are for the whole belgard complex to be knocked down & replaced with a big apartment block with a smaller pub instead.

Thats what I've heard by word of mouth.

They have already completed the multi-storey car park at the back.

Joey's Snooker Club, Harmonstown

Southside snooker clubs:

Spawell, Templeogue
Roadstone Sports Club, Kingswood Cross, Clondalkin

There are also many other sports clubs such as ALSAA, Sportslink, Glenalbyn and Ierne that have snooker. Most of the snooker clubs in Dublin have gone now.

In the city centre there's only Ned Kelly's (O'Connell Street). No music upstairs, where the 4 snooker tables are. It's 12 €/hour. To my knowledge, there's no other place in the city centre.

Raphael's in Lucan is closing tonight for good. Worked there for 4 years back in the '90s and still play there the odd time. Sad to see snooker clubs closing, not many left now.

crossguns is still going strong,and will be for quite a while. €6 per hour before 6 and €8 per hour after, you can't beat that, tables are quite good too, brushed and ironed every day, and they don't tolerate any idiots!

The Classic in Finglas is still open. It's decent enough, particularly if you ask for a table in the room at the back. There's only 3 tables in the back as opposed to the 10 or so in the main area.

The clubs I have played in. . . .

Q's in Clondalkin (across from McDonalds/Mill Shopping Centre). 24 hour I think / a bit noisey and tables not great. Not sure if its still open.
Raphaels in Lucan - was a very nice club and well run, shame its closed. Where will Fergal O'Brien practice now?
Played once or twice in Oldbawn, didnt like it there.
Cellbridge - nicest club I've been to. Dedicated players, no riff/raff. At least one 'heated' table, but pockets that wouldnt accept marbles.
Spawell. Well run, dedicated players. No messing. Drink and Food too.
Four Provinces, once only. Not again
Jasons... shame its gone I suppose, but never liked it that much.
Stillorgan Lesuireplex, to be avoided.
Ned Kellys on O'Connell street... not sure if its still open... lots of gambling upstairs.

Now I play in...
A mates house who has a really nice full size table (no you cant have his address).
Palmers Golden Ball bar and lounge in Kilternan, on the stepaside to eniskerry road. 6 Full size tables upstairs in average condition. No messers. Quiet (well away from bar). Not advertised as a snooker club as such. Nice food served in bar.

Jaysus... when I've been around

Sad to see the death of snooker in Dublin. I used to play in Castle Billiards as a kid. Its closed about 7 years now.

I have played in Rathmines in the recent past in goodfellows. Hopefully that is still there.
