Anyone up for a few pints before the game in Bray?
I worked in Bray a few years back and can report
On the sea front in Bray The Porter house is a good quality beer pub shows football too so no problem with fans, rugby pub next door Jim Doyles and The Martello bar are ok for fans as well.
The Harbour bar behind the Carlisle grounds under the railway bridge used to be a grand pub it's been done up recently but I haven't been in for years so can't comment but it's close.
There were 2 pubs just across the railway tracks not sure about the 1 on the left ( used to be the Hibernia not sure now) would be fan friendly, but in this day and age I suppose any pub would be greatfull for the extra business, the 1 on the right used to be Kathy Gallaghers but I'm not sure if its a pub any more,
if anyone wants a quite pint Duffs up the top of the town ( near mc donald) has been the best pint in Bray for years again not sure it would be suitable for load supporters
FOOD If you want take away chipper Henry & Rose very close to the dart station is very good, dinner with the partner/missus Campo del fiora on the sea front is one of the best Italians in Ireland but isn't cheap, I hear good reports about what used to be Kathy Gallaghers behind the dart station for reasonable sit down grub, Tower bistro on the sea front upstairs in the Martello is good as well.
All the above are less than 10 minutes from the ground (except Duffs depending on how many pints 15/20 minutes)
Memories are flooding back now that I'm writing this, Don't care still want De Town to win on Monday then play to a packed house on Friday
I might venture to Bray on my own via Limerick on Monday, no idea how to get to anywhere but I'll wing it somehow! See if I can get some friends to go from Longford and meet them there or God knows what. My graduations on the Night of the 2nd leg so I can't be there.. :(
There's a few of us planning on heading to O'Reillys beside Tara street station early enough on Monday and then getting the Dart out to Bray if anyone interested. It's €3.50 pints in O'Reillys..
Haven't been to Bray in years. Usually went to The Hibernia beside the ground, presume that's still there, will probably have a couple of nerve settlers there if so.
there is the harbour bar too, sure any alehouse will do! not sure about oreilly but will see! im only 10 mins from bray!Quote:

you could get the air couch express it says it will get you to Westmoreland street in Dublin early enough it take 2hrs 45 minutes leaves at 15 minutes to the hour 1.45 2.45 etc and you could walk for 5 minutes and get a Dart from Tara street to Bray

best check the Dart timetable as it's a Bank holiday and things go pear shaped in this lovely little country of ours on those days
