Nearest would probably be ...
Red Parrot (Dorset St/Drumcondra Rd)
McGraths (Drumcondra Rd)
Quinns (Drumcondra Rd)
Fairview Inn (Fairview)
Meaghers (Fairview)
With Croker now the venue for some games where is the best pre-game location for a pint?

if you are willing to walk, then a great pub with outside area is Gravediggers. its about a 10 - 15 min walkto croker from there. its in phibsboro
I'm a bloke,I'm an ocker
And I really love your knockers,I'm a labourer by day,
I **** up all me pay,Watching footy on TV,
Just feed me more VB,Just pour my beer,And get my smokes, And go away
Where will the foot.ie flag be pre-game? I'm traveling a long way and a picture with the 'holy grail" of flags would be a nice reward..: )
The Ivy House (Cartys) has open space at side and back. Good for food
The Cat & Cage, a real football pub. Good athmosphere.
Always look on the bright side of life
its a bit away though. does that fella still own it, who insults everyone? messing i know, have to say its funny.The Cat & Cage

There are much closer pubs than the Cat and Cage alright
UCD sha-la-la
If you're going to be bold you won't be let in to a pub
All pubs close to the ground will be jammers, even the Cat and Cage. If people were to agree on the Cage people coming from town would have to pass Croker to get to it but I don't think that should be a problem. It's only about 15 minutes walk from Croker.

One thing to note is that you shouldn't let which stand you are going to be sitting in dictate what pub you can drink in. Although the ticket will advise a certain route must be taken to gain access to your seat you can in fact gain access to any stand/seat from any entrance with the obvious exception being The Hill and premium levels.
I've never had any problems entering (30+ times) via the Hogan for a seat in the Cusack/Canal or via the Canal for a seat in the Cusack etc..,
I also know that for the France Rugby game they were encouraging people to use the Canal entrance for Hogan seats as the Hogan turnstiles were getting a bit chock-a-block just before the off - something which is going to be major factor for our matches.
The Big Tree is, as the name suggests, big too. Does food, or does on Sunday avos anyway. Patrick McGrath's is my favourite but will be cramped I would imagine.
Should be good and lively - won't see the same thing as the rugby with many people drinking in their old spots and bussing it to the game. Soccer fans should be better at finding their way around the northside...
