Where to have a pint near The 02 Arena....

ROCKMAN

Hi all
Taking a group to The 02 Arena soon , Looking for nice pub nearby to past the couple of hours I'll be waiting , Heard there not much around venue ? (first time to arena and area ) Will be on foot or using Taxi ,Do not want to travel to far away, the nearer the better

Cheers in advance

Theres the Green Room around the corner on Sheriff st upper (be careful of the pianist though, I hear he eats children), the boat on the Liffey, Cill Airne also have a nice bar on the top deck. It's not just a restaurant.

some pubs in the IFSC that might be alright - Harbourmaster and Excise Bar.
Still around a 10 to 15min walk down to the O2 from there, but alright surroundings anyway.

another vote for the mv cill airne, great bangers and mash too

ROCKMAN

Cheers lads
Will check out 1 or maybe 2

Thanks again

The White Horse is a good pub, had a few there last night watching the football, not too far a walk.

There's also another pub further down the south quays, on Sir John Rogerson's Quay actually, called The Ferryman.

It's a nice local pub, with all sorts of tat on the walls, and sometimes live trad sessions too.

A sneaky one would be the Oarsman in ringsend. Quality pub with good smoking area and its a 500m walk across the east link

And although the price of a pint in the venue costs €6- the Carlsberg is probably (no pun) the best Carlsberg I've tasted anywhere.

the laguna bar in the ifsc is a nice bar work in the ifsc myself and go there on a regular basis theres a nice bookies next door to it also

Some of the hotel bars, jurys inn, clarion hotel on the north quays, and the qualitas hotel on the south side are quite good...

The Laguna is good, the exise closes early (if it opens at all as a bar these days) the habour master...........

The green room would be the closest, having being in it yet though it looks nice........

Ah, the Master Mariner - used to do the best stew in Dublin!.

blinkey 101

just stear clear of temple bar unless you have your
credit card or check book on you ;)10 euro a bowl of stew say no more.

if your looking for imo the greatest pint in dublin, ie if your a guinness man/woman try O'Donoghue's on the green not a million miles from the o2.:)

Argee with O Donoghue's
Cracking pub

I was just being pedantic, there's no 'Arena' in the name, just The 02.

Any decent drinking pubs down Irishtown? It's only a stroll across the east link,

I got that from the other thread. Sorry, I thought you were a bloke, your username reminds me of Peewee Herman

You could throw a blanket over the five on Ringsend bridge, inc. the excellent Oarsman as recommended above.

Again thanks for all help.

Will be checking out 1 or 2 of these pubs (have more than 3 hours to kill)

And Peewee_lane , a pint and a bit of soft listening ,sounds good , will def check it out,
