Watching Breeders Cup in Dublin

Where would people recommend to watch the racing on Saturday night. If there is a good response i might ring a few places and make sure its on.

Any particular area? County? City? North? South?

It'll be on in lots of pubs, but more so away from the city center. That would be my experiences from the past anyhow.

Will be around the city centre but not sure where to go to watch it, the last race is not until 11.45 so it might be hard enough to find somewhere with commentary. A friend of mine suggested Devitts on Camden St. Anyone else got any ideas.

City center is where i want to watch it.

I would imagine Keoghs will have it on and watching it upstairs might be an option.

Surprised there has not been many places mentioned.

very hard to see it being shown in somewhere like keoghs, its way too busy on a Saturday night to show racing. Only small quiet pubs will show it although I can't think of anywhere. Any suggestions?

You'll get it in Molloys on Talbot Street, just under the bridge. The lounge is a great little spot for a pint, lovely Guinness and the area to the left of the bar counter would be perfect to watch the racing, you'd get the commentary on no worries too so no need to be worrying about being drowned out by tunes.

50 meters from Bus Aras LUAS stop.

anyone know any pub around phibsboro/drumcondra showing the breeders cup? (with commentary)

Quinns will have it on the big screen. Might be an option but its the top of dorset street so cant see many lads going out that far to watch it.

i tried watching it there last year, and they did show it, but there was no chance of the volume being left on... they have music on saturdays and turned the volume down even in the small bar at the front...

i'd love to find a boozer anywhere in dublin city / north city which shows it properly...

Ah come lads , some people must have ideas

I presume that casino place, the Sporting Emporium would be showing it although it isn't a bar.

thanks for the heads up about the duke, i watched it there last night no problem......for the last few years i've gone to different pubs to watch the breeders cup and it always ended up being a disaster...but last night perfect, no problems with volume etc....
the beer was tasty too
