eL Clubs & Their Pubs

[Paddyfield]

dont think so......First of all never heard of it and secondly id say he has enough jobs already.
His father owns a chipper in Tubber though,id say he helps out there the odd day

Raf was interviewed in the Galway United match programme during the season and gave a plug to his boss, a publican, who was very obliging because he let Raf off for training and matches, even on busy weekends.
Maybe he does nixers in the chipper :D

Ricky O' Flaherty had the legendary "Ricky's Bar" in Galway for a few years, I remember when Ricky played for Pats against us in Terryland the pub doors had to be closed at 9:30 pm it was so packed.Most of us didnt make it out of there untill 9:30 am ! Eddie Gormley was the only one who couldn't handle his drink!

Ricky's Bar must've been a the smallest pub in Galway. After he left the Pub business (to become a fireman!!!!), the lease was bought by someone who opened a gay bar.

PS I saw Ricky in Terryland a few times this season with his kids.

Yeah the Squealing Pig is still there...its actually celebrating its 15th Birthday this weekend and all the Monaghan United Players will be in there after the game Saturday nite to enjoy their end of season drinks (after having some and player of the year in the Bagster Lounge at CHP of course!)

The Pig is not only a great place for drinking but the guy that owns it is very good to the club with sponsorship for everything from summer camps to the ladies team. Oh and the bouncers are really nice there too! ;)

For me the best place for drinks pre and post match is Fibbers/Foxes in Galway. The Galway gang will always make u welcome. I also love Mothers when I used to be able to make it to Drogs games, the craic in there was top notch.

The bar at Cobh is quite nice and also like Junction 15 (?) in the 'Fey.

Random fact: Glenavon have FIVE social clubs in their ground.

Now that's impressive.

Always enjoyed the bars in Dalymount (at times probably too much :) ) and was a regular in Kates in its day. Used to like Harloes (sp?) in Sligo, and had a great night in the Oak Grove in Derry as well, although the total silence when two Harps fans walked in was a wee bit scary! Once we told them Sean invited us it was class though.

There's a lot of pubs that Harps fans go to so none of them is really 'the' Harps pub, which is kind of a pity, plus the geographical spread of our support means a lot of people don't drink around Finn Park anyway.

No its a clothes shop as already said but Denis Behan and Greg O'Halloran own a pub in Carrigaline alright.
No Denis and Greg don't own that pub at all.
They both put money into it last year as investors but pulled out again within a few months.

You'd think they would sponsor monaghan instead of a boozer in clondalkin that has sponsored only half the jersies?

All the bars in cobh will be explored from today:D

Well he wasnt able to commit to that at the time as he is also the main jersey sponsor of the local rugby club so Mick Cooke secured us the deal with his local and have to say the Steering Wheel and Martin Reape have been fantastic to us too.

I cant rem the name of it but there is a little pub in Cobh that is like a shrine to U2 and its very nice to have a drink in but the clubhouse bar is good. Have a good weekend down their NY coz its a nice spot.

Believe me I have experience of Cobh. There is some U2 stuff in the Rob Roy but is ruined because of its allegiance to some english club:rolleyes:

Wonder what FAI tool will present the trophy?!

Thought the Bluebell in Derry was grand last year. Oakgrove is a great spot. Slightly more upmarket perhaps.

Some great pubs in Longford. Is Valentine's the one across from the Longford Arms? Nice pub


thats it alright. Valentines is a nice pub as is the Stillery, very popular with away fans.
The Tangled web was mentioned earlier in the thread but thats closed down now, electrical shop in its place

Any recommendations for Kilkenny?

Any recommendations for Kilkenny?

Can't remember the name but the place just over the bridge on the left (facing you on the river bank) as you head away from the castle was pretty lively last time I was there, the last night (Monday) of the Cat Laughs, when many other spots were dead.

That's the one, cheers NY Hoop.

What's tacky about it? It's a trendy boozer. What other clubs have a DJ on in ONE of their bars after a match?

It's also racked in a load of money for the club.:)


Cream leather - come on?! Did your West Brit burberry fans requested that to match with they're get ups?!!

Monaghan always have a DJ after their games there.

I found some footage on youtube of the Oak in Derry - some foot.ie regulars feature towards the end....

Martin Reape of the Steering Wheel Clondalkin sponsored a lot more than half the shirts. Martin dips his hand into his pocket for a large number of clubs in the area including Moyle Park, Booth Road Celtic, Real Ale Madrid, and others, not all to the same extent but he deserves credit for getting behind the clubs.

[Neish]

When visiting ballybofey you'll find Harps fans in several different Pubs. Junction 15(My Local), Harley's Cheers, Gallen's and The Gallery would be the main ones.

[Neish]

finn harps-junction 17:confused:

Junction 15 i think you mean.

[sligoman]

"The Atmospheric" in Bray has to be the dullest pub ever. Doesn't live up to it's name anyway.

[Raheny Red]

What's the name of the Bar in Bray dart Station. Many great night in there with the Reds especially with an 80's hits DJ and local pikies. :cool:

[The Stars]

The Atmospheric....the most inappropriatly named pub ever

[BohsFans]

they never see the inside and the cream leather looks good.


They didn't have a DJ playin when we were up there this season.

[sniffa]

We found The Steering Wheel in Limerick to serve a very nice pint. Also had a good chat and banter with the locals.
