best places in galway to watch the soccer

juanveron45

Im in galway for the weekend and I was wondering where would be the best pubs to go to to watch the manutd and liverpool games today,looking for big screens and good atmosphere

The Living Room is usually a good spot to watch a big match, I've watched a few there. Ti Na Nog (SP?) is also pretty good to watch a match in, Liverpool matches moreso.

I was in Ti na Nog yesterday for the Liverpool match and it was infested with tossers throwing beer mats and arguing among themselves. They all had jerseys on so I don't know why they couldn't just watch the game. I'm hoping that was just a once off as it's not a bad pub to watch football in. Just don't hang around afterwards as the staff have a tendancy to turn on the choons very loud almost as soon as the referee has blown the final whistle :mad:
Other pubs worth a look are The Cellar - big screen in the corner but can get crowded and the Kings Head - Also has a big screen but depending on when the match is on you have to run a gauntlet of kids or people trying to eat lunch.

The Living Room is the best craic I think, especially when Arsenal are playing.

Is that because you and the other Arsenal fan have the place to yourselves?

Sally Long's. Two big screens and two small screens, and if there's two matches on at once they'll divide the screens to show both. Less crowded than the likes of the Living Room or Kings Head, usually, so if you would prefer to watch the match and sup your pint in a semi-civilised fashion without hordes of drunken gowls spilling beer all over you, Sally's is the place...

I probably should have clarified that it was both Liverpool and Man Utd fans that day but you are right, there are a lot of scumbags that follow Liverpool. It's a pity but what can you do?

Well Massimos has the Chelsea supporters club where they watch their matches.
Kings head and the buskers are good for the early matches and livingroom for the afternoon..oh and Monroes always have them on too.

And they sound a little like this. Honestly, it's like they bought a kit on the internet. I've seen them with songs printed off the web, singing at a telly.

Boris? Sorry, my brain is a little slow this morning so I have no idea what you mean here.

I got through various other Boris, namely Becker, Yeltsin, Berezovsky and Karloff but forgot about him!

That sounds good, I've never tried there. Must give it a go.
