Howdy,

Down in the city this wknd for a stag (sorry...), one of the lads has touted Garavans to watch the Irish game.

Not familiar with it but heard it's quite quaint/small - sounds cool for a pint but not sure if it sounds right for the game and a bunch of inevitably quite loud males.

Any opinions/suggestions?

Thanks

ps...on the safe side, don't watch the rugby match in Garavans...

Just back from Galway - was there for the week end!! The Kings Head has a big screen and seems to be a popular choice for sporting occasions! There is also a pub outside the town a little, called Monroes, they have a large television which might be good too! Not from Galway, so others may know more! Enjoy the week end up there, its the best place in Ireland (Besides Cork:))

Fagans on Eyre Square is a sports bar with lots of screens. O'Connells across the square is a real rugby pub, but small for a large group. Lots of pubs would show the match on a big screen, including Kings Head, Skeff, Busker Brownes, Spanish Arch etc.

are you familiar with Garavans? Do you think it might be unsuitable for a large group like this?

Garavans really wouldnt suit, also there is only about one tv(if any) in there as far as I remember. I would suggest Kellys both either upstairs or downstairs.

Just realised that Setanta the **** have moved the match to Setanta 1, instead of the usual Setanta Ireland for Magners League.

Anyone know where in Galway is open to watch the match?

Hey all,
Anyone know any pubs that'd be open early, 8.30am to be showing the Ireland vs New Zealand game on Saturday? Preferrably with a tasty breakfast offering??
Cheers!

The Salt House on Raven Terrace, I think.

Not sure what the story is with drink or breakfast but I seem to remember seeing a poster there last weekend.

It's always a good idea to hang out with winners

We went to the Skeff on Eyre Sq to watch Ireland v New Zealand recently. Decent set of screens.

Also I like Fagan's (under the Meyrick) for afternoon / evening matches, but not sure if they are open early (this game not so early at 11am but still too early ...)

Hi There,
Can anyone recommend a good pub for watching the rugby this weekend.
Also any recommendations for a restaurant that will take about 12-15 lads for grub. Not a loud or bolshy group but dont want a quiet couples style restaurant either.
Thanks

You could kill two birds with one stone by going to Foxs Porterhouse near the railway station. 4 screens, food until 8 and they dont mind large groups.

Hey,

Have a few mates coming up at the weekend to watch the match and was wondering what are the best pub in the city to watch the match?
If it was soccer I would probably go to Monrose or Fagans but don't know where to go for the rugby....

Cheers
