What pub to watch the <any sport> match in?

cooperguy · 16-09-2015 11:22PM

So the rugby world cup is about to start. Where will the best places to watch it be?

ArtyC · 17-09-2015 07:33AM

I think the pucan smoking area will be good to watch it in?

thesandeman · 17-09-2015 09:33PM

Was in Monroe's yesterday for the Rocktoberfest launch. That big screen upstairs is impressive alright.

The tv out there is unreal. Must be the new Ultra HD or something. Will more than likely be jammers tomorrow though.

Pucan, Pucan, Pucan, Pucan!!! Simple

Where in Galway can I watch tonight's Euro 2016 qualifier between Turkey and Czech Republic?
Are there sports pubs or bars in Galway?

Anyone got recommendations for a good bar for a group of 10 to watch the FA Cup Final?
Preferably a place that does food like platters / burgers etc but it's not a priority.

plastik90 I've moved your question into a dedicated thread. Have a read of this and it will suggest good pubs.

is an example of a place to avoid.

Could be difficult to find a place that will be showing all the match, Connacht playing Glasgow at 18:30, FA Cup final starting at 17:30.

Any particular pub have a strong connection to Connaght Rugby?

Yep the Dail is the official supporters club bar.

An Pucan also gets a good crowd of supporters before and after the match

McGettigans on the square near the Liam Mellows statue is a decent place to watch a game and they do nice food and have a few lovely craft beers too. Plenty of tv's dotted around the place so there shouldn't be an issue if there are more than one televised sporting event on at the same time.

civis_liberalis · 17-05-2016 06:35PM

Anyone who doesn't know where McGettigan's is already probably isn't going to know where Liam Mellows' statue is

+1 for the Dáil Bar.

I'm not a rugby fan but they are also the official pub sponsor of Galway United and everyone speaks highly of their treatment in there.

Any suggestions where to watch the Aston Villa-Leeds match this Thursday?

Official supporters pub this season is Murty Rabbitte's I think.

billybh · 22-05-2017 06:51PM

Hi all. Anybody recommend any good pubs in Galway to watch the FA Cup Final next week?

biko · 22-05-2017 07:29PM

Any pub really.
Oslo in Salthill has a very big screen.

ben.schlomo · 22-05-2017 10:22PM

Screen is the Oslo is very poor quality, unless its been changed. OP try places geared towards sports like McGinns, McGettigans or Dew Drop.

Diabhal Beag · 22-05-2017 10:40PM

I think Dew Drop is the Arsenal supporters pub in Galway so it would be a good spot for atmosphere anyways. It can get a bit tight in there for big games though.

Arghus · 22-05-2017 10:54PM

Another vote for The Dew Drop.

Daledge · 23-05-2017 04:48PM

Downstairs in The Cellar is a great hidden gem, never seems to be too packed anytime I go in, although that's rarely for any big games. But there's screens everywhere.

billybh · 23-05-2017 06:12PM

Thanks for the suggestions,McGinns looks good as does the Dew Drop,though being a Chelsea fan it might be a bit dubious lol

Panthro · 23-05-2017 06:15PM

Munroes was/is a chelsea supporters pub. Savage craic.
