    i've booked into the Hotel Wartburg because a friend who works in the FAI sales department has said the squad are staying there. Stan was bamboozled to get a twin room for 70 euros a night near an Irish pub and the main square

    Relax Pal, I meant it is bad German because it is High German and not Swiss-German!

    And if you didn't waste those 10 years in Germany, how come you only speak porno-German?

    Steer clear of the "Irish" bars. They conveniently put their prices up when Ireland are in town. Local bars cheaper and better craic.

    spot on KOH. And the one thing that will beat the local bars is the local off licences

    Especially as a case (20 8 0.5l bottles) of good quality German pilsner costs about €14 in off licences and supermarkets. You can get even cheaper beers for about €9 a case.

    not always the case to be fair. Irish bar in basel both times was great as there were as many swiss there both times as Irish. also, many Irish bars in Tokyo actually reduced their prices around wc time to attract Irish fans in. saw video of match v germany when we arrved back to our local Irish bar afterwards. were there till 6am watching it and atmosphere and craic was great... doubt too many non-Irish bars were showing re-runs that night.
    having said that its not a bad idea to sample the local bars also

    agree .. use the offos and local bars to get you going but the irish bars in the end are the best crack .. basel was quality both times in the irish bar.

    Was that the Irish Angel Bar (in the Shinjuku district I think)? It was down some steps into a little shopping Arcade. If it's the same place, and it sounds like it is, we had some great nights in there, especially that one.

    The way I see it on away trips is that if I'm passing a pub and it looks like good craic I don't care if it's an Irish bar or a locals bar, either way I'm going in.

    Yeah I was in there a lot myself. It was a bit like the Fawlty Towers of pubs. I remember the manager coming out and apologising to us about our food taking so long because the chef was drunk again. When that would shut we used to go around the corner to a tiny little bar where there would be loads of people from every corner of the globe standing outside having a few beers and a laugh. Naturally there were always a few Irish left when that place shut at 6 or 7am so we went further up the road again to what I'm pretty sure was a gay bar. Ah memories.

    A bar is a bar is a bar!! Step Inn Cyprus was great, Buzz Bar Israel fab open 24/7, mind you Irish Bar in Ikubukuru (think thats how you spell it) was a major major rip off and f***** all out early each night, found great local bar in tokyo, poured our own spirits every night and owner gave all the irish a present when we left for korea, she even stayed up till 8am to wave us off in taxis to tokyo airport.. and only 400 yen a drink ..now that was great value...ps san marino is a tax free zone, booking it in morning with BA €255 to Bologna and 4 star hotel €90 per room per night

    Not the class of hotel the squad usually stay in. More likely to be Le Meridian, the Steigenberger Graf Zeppelin or the Am Schlossgarten.

    Just out of interest where does it say its 70 Euros a night Is that 70 Euro each as the room rates on the site dont say 70 Euro per room for a twin room.

    seems the rooms are all booked out now, it has a good review on tripadvisor.com describing it as "A Dump".
