Dart Pub Guide to ireland

Culchie · 29-01-2007 12:39am #1

How about creating a sticky for all the dart friendly pubs in Ireland?

By the time the thread has died a natural death of inactivity, I'd say we'd have the ultimate Dart Pub guide of Ireland with a little bit of 'Copy and Paste' from our new moderator hee hee:p

Just add pubs that you know if you were throwing darts at a board on your own, someone will come up and play with you, and within 20 mins, you'd have a few playing. 9 times out of 10 the landlord has a very keen interest in Darts in these pubs.

Then you just print the list off, and hey presto, you can go on the beer and dart cruise of Ireland with your mates, and forget you were ever married at all:D

Here are the dart friendly pubs I know in East Mayo area.

Haydens 'The Keg', Charlestown
Ruanes, Swinford
The Sheep Walk, Swinford
The White House, Swinford,
Walsh's, Charlestown
Morrisroes's (Old Forge), Cloontia (Carracastle/Rooskey)
Davey's Carracastle

The best pubs in Mallow would be

Maureens Bar
Moriartys Bar
Monas Bar
Dalys Bar
Cavern Bar
Bridgehouse Bar
Mousetrap

The best would be Maureens as there is always somebody willing to play and if a team wanted to challange we would have 15 or 16 players on any night.

Do you know any pub with dartboard near to Ringsend. Have you any week tournament in any pub? Im on holiday in Dublin and I would like to play darts here. Thank you in advance for reply.

gdez · 21-03-2007 12:14pm

I know ALSSA sports club beside the airport has 4 dart boards, but you'd really need to be a member.

The Palace on Camden St has one too.

Tomasito · 22-03-2007 10:06pm

I was in the Palace. I played after 3weeks so my game was terrible. Thank you very much for your advice. If you sometimes go to Czech Republic, contact me, we could go to play darts or I can you show Prague. Thanks!

Carrickman · 23-03-2007 9:03am

We played a league match a few weeks back in The Lantren, Harold's Cross (which is nearer me than the pub I play darts for) so I went up there early to get some practice and was made feel very welcome and told if me and any of my friends wanted to come in for a game of darts we would be very welcome (if there is no league match of other event in it of course).

ciarraibhoy · 25-03-2007 10:53am

Any decent dart pubs in Kilkenny City?

bobflatley · 13-04-2007 5:44am

Firstly, before listing more dart friendly pubs I'd like to comment on a trend I have found in darts culture in general in recent years. It seems that for darts to thrive in an area that a number of players must be of decent/good standard. Taking Culchie's original list into account this holds true. Charlestown/Swinford area is one of the strongest for Mayo darts with three plus players consistently making the County senior (mens) team. The Sheepwalk team generally features prominently at the buisness end of tourney's they enter and the Whitehouse won a Mayo cup in the last couple of years that I know of. Pat Walsh always has good sides and a B team. The point is in other towns eg. Ballyhaunis there are virtually no darts played with no pub entering the cup competitions. It seems that a town or village needs to have a team which gains some success or to reach a semi final stage for the game to take off. This creates pockets of darts of good standard and a handful of strong teams which people who are socially interested must break into. Entering a team of handy but inexperienced players is not viable as the strong teams will come through. This can have the negative effect of losing decent young players to the game. Is this true of all counties?

Langans Bar- Kiltimagh
Ryans - Kiltimagh
Kilkenny's- Knock
Gilligan's- Claremorris
The Rendezvous- Ball

THEDON701 · 25-09-2007 7:02pm

I have just moved to Dubin in the last few days and am living in the north side at the minute in Cabra. Anyone know any place in the area with a darts board. I want to get back into playing again before the tournament in Killarney in November.

Anyone interested in a player for their league team can also let me know.

I have been in here a few times, and I can't say enough about how cool everyone was to us walking in off of the street.

If you are in the area and are looking for a game of darts, it is a great place to go. My friend and I walked in and started throwing, and within an hour or so we had 8 names on the board looking for a 'shot at the title'. lol

Definitely someplace that I would make an effort to go back to.

Fair few in Westmeath - Western Gem, Ballinalack. Office Bar, Mullingar, Wagon Wheel Ballinacarigy, Doynes - Collinstown, McHugh's - Raharney, Gaffneys - Delvin.

Double Top · 29-06-2008 5:08pm

cuala in dalkey is not really a pub more of a sports bar but the setup is great and the drink's are cheap and you don't hve to worry about anyone distrubing you during your game as it's usually very quiet during the week and most weekend's

In Cork City:
Our own pub The Gallows is great fun for darts, especially on Friday nights we run darts double's a euro man just for a bit of craic.. there are some very good players and some hopeless players, we also have a team in the CDO B league and C league.. 2 dart boards downstairs and 2 upstairs.

Darby O Gill's in Blackpool is good for darts, nice lads that play there too.
I've played in an awful lot of pubs around Cork but can't think of any more at the mo, anyone around the Southside call into me for a game sometime.

How about Leixlip ?

My work has recently re-located out there and it would be cool to be able to stop and throw a few legs before catching the train out of town.

Cuckoos nest on the Greenhills road has a board that's open after 8pm as far as I remember, also Molloys in Tallaght village has a team that are supposed to be pretty useful.

Sheridans has a new board, nice to play in, busy at the weekends.

Only used two of the boards in Charlies - Both a bit old so bouncing is a common problem, well lit though. The World champ was apparently in there about two weeks ago, I was at a different board and don't follow competitions so didn't notice until someone told me after.

Pubs with Dartboards in Galway.

This is going by league teams and not with easiness of getting a game. Not much going on with darts in Galway other than the league atm.

Cookes Thatch - 2 boards, can be a few around at the weekend

River Inn - 1 board but not a whole lot going on there

Wheelhouse - 2 boards and an open comp every thursday night

Charlies - 2 boards, decent little bar

Fibber Magees - Know theres a board but not too sure how open it would be to walk in for a game

The rest are outside the city for example

Grealish's in Carnmore

Lafferty's which is in the middle of nowhere, Moylough I think.

Olde brewery which is in Oranmore.

Thats pretty much all tbh, as I said not much
