Pubs around Croke Park (post pandemic)

avoid the bridge tavern

Fagans was wedged on the day of the Limerick/Waterford semi. Went in for a Club Limerick Dublin function. Food looked decent, only stayed for 1 as it was way too packed.

Patrick McGraths in Drumcondra is open but as you can imagine it fulls up quite quick

Croke Park Hotel been closed is a headache for match goers

Gills and Hill 16 pub both closed last Saturday.

Was at the All Ireland U20 final last Sunday and to say the pub situation was dire in Drumcondra would be an understatement. Firstly none of the limited spots I went to around CP were letting match goers sit inside. And then you had to queue up starting outside to get inside for your drink and go back straight outside. The Hideout started this around 11.30, the Auld Triangle did aswell and then stopped for 15 minutes at midday because they said the guards were coming. Very difficult get a drink on that side of the ground. Gills closed. Red Parrot Closed. Caufields Hotel gone. The Temple closed. Big Tree gone. Quinns gone. Hogan Stand closed.

After the match we went back to the Auld Triangle and got a couple there and then went to The Celt on Talbot St. That was being run like a pre pandemic pub and was absolutely wedged with Offaly people. It nearly took off with the celebrations.

I'd say trying to get a pint anywhere near CP this weekend will be a nightmare. Maybe Clonliffe House could be best bet. There's very little left on the Hogan Stand side.

For the bigger events you're nearly better heading into the O Connell steet area for a few pre match/concert and then walking to the ground

Pubs will be jammed for the September Garth Brooks concerts

Partially open and now called Juno - looks like will b fully open in a few weeks time
