Where's the best place in Brussels to watch a hurling match?

Hello, I'm looking for somewhere with a good atmosphere to watch the Waterford/Tipp semi final.

I saw a match in The Old Oak "Irish" pub near the commission, but the atmosphere was terrible. It was the All-Ireland final and the GAA fans were squashed into a narrow alcove while everyone else watched a soccer match.

Is there a pub where the majority of customers would be there for the hurling?

That'd be great. Shout and roar like lunatics down in the corner!

I'd say O'Reilly's Bar will almost certainly have it. It's very near the Grand Place, right in the centre of the city.

Thanks.

I was in their once for a soccer match, but got a strong sense of aggravation from the bar staff. There wasn't much atmosphere because only a minority there were Irish.

Is there any pub where the customers are mainly/largely from Ireland?
