I think that Germans are picky about you being a member if youre going to a HI hostel, but Im sure you can join on the day. You could always stay at an independent hostel. Try hostelworld.com (I think it is), they have reliable reviews and often do bookings over the net.

i am only able to sleep now!!!!! :mad: party upstairs finally ended when i called the police(they have had to come out 3 times now!!!) i don't like to waste their time but it was 06:30 and still really loud, i have not been to sleep at all!! our whole flat was awake, hilarious thing is the cops took their huge stereo and several expensive pieces of music equipment away :D :D :eek: police threw everyone out. was i a cruel witch or am i right to laugh? ok , i am going for breakfast, don't feel tired anymore.........

I stayed here in 2002, tho the price seems to have gone up a bit now... Was q.good, and you didnt have to have to have a HI card or anything like that, its about 5-10 mins on the tram or U-Bahn (subway train) into the center and the trams run into the early hours of the morning.

In munich the Shamrock bar is just up the street from murphys afaik they show irish games! Nice place too!
Murphys is great craic also! Paid them a visit when we went to europe last summer

what a relief, i thought i was just really thick and did not get the joke or something :D ;) i looked at the lookalikes page, deadly! you corkies !! :D ;)

dav, could u email me any info your friends have on munich? cheers! :D

Spent a semester in Munich University in WInter 2003. Being a student bum, became acquainted with Irish bars.

Shamrock-complete dive!
Gunthers-large pub in a basement but never the less quite comfortable. Big ****-off screen for the football. In Schwabing.
My own personal recommendation however would be Killians which is slap bang in the centre of Munich. Right beside the Frauenkirche the cathedral in the city-hence almost impossible to miss. Killians, like Gunthers, is in a basement (actually come to think of it, so is Shamrock...) but not dingy, next door is an Austalian pub, originally titled Ned Kelly's! watched all the rugby world cup in there, as well as the GAA matches, and that unfortunate game in Basel of which we shall never speak (apologies for dredging up the memories). Because it's in the centre the cost of the drink is more pricey but stick to the German beer, cheaper & tastes lot better than imported liquid. There will definitely be a sizable Irish crowd there. There's an Irish soccer club and a GAA club in Munich as well. Hope this helps.

thanks, i heard the shamrock was a sh*tehole, cheers! ok, might go for killians, but will also visit gunthers at some point. do u also know any good place which serves good local food :D i am looking forward to this.....

Proberly would also go along with Killians for the place to watch the match, bang in the center of town. Don't go without a visit to the Lowenbrau brewery cracking bar in it like the Hoffbrau house but less of a tourist attraction than it.
