Irish pubs abroad

This is actually the thread that will define, break and decipher the forum. Clear distinctions will be made between those who frequent Irish pubs abroad, those to whom such an aberration would never occur, and those who would leave such decisions up to their life partner

I’d say there’s fellas on here would just sit in a shit tapas bar in some Kip like Marbella drinking cheap piss eating shrimp or squid on brown bread on their own just to say they didn’t go to an Irish bar in case they’d be judged on here.

Surely they could just lie on here. It has been known.

@BruidheanChaorthainn would you throw a fistful of clay into the suitcase too?

No why would you do that?

I love going in to random pubs and trying drinks I’ve never had, particularly during the day. I love stopping off in a supermarket and picking up a couple of cans if some random beer also to try while getting ready to head out for the night… I absolutely love tasting new food and drink

I’m with @BruidheanChaorthainn on this.

If we are going on a holiday we generally put 1 or 2 nights away for a proper scoop of pints. When we Google bars to go to, we often (but not always) decide to try an Irish bar.

The Shannon arms (SF) , McKeons (NY) and the Eire (Boston) are probably some of my favourite I remember. The onset of GAAgo has probably finished it, but there was great days on summers abroad spent going into Irish bars early to watch GAA followed by a full Sunday going at it.

It’s fierce easy when going on a night on the lash to get to know like minded Irish people and have a good time.

Two of the bigger pubs in Rome are owned by a guy from Wexford. Nice man.

Finnegans in Rome was a grand spot when we visited there two years ago. Owned by a lad from the six counties I think.

A mysterious Welsh bar man who hadn’t been home in years and a very angry Italian who had done time were amongst the folk in there.

When did you fly in?

The fact they’d go to Marbella in the first place tells you all you need to know .

The need to drink is deeply embedded in the Irish DNA.

Cant enjoy the culinary delights another culture offers, they have to go get blathered with Billy Joe from Knocknagoshel as they don’t feel comfortable around foreigners.

Where is my best bet for watching the Super bowl in Rome this weekend? Preferably somewhere where the punters wont mind me roaring like an ass.

Scholars bar stays open till 4 am I think. You’ll be doing well to find a spot going till 5 am I’d say. They’ll definitely have it on. Its sister bar is the abbey and they just show sky sports all day. Not sure they go as late though.

Scholars is always rammed with American students on Erasmus too so they’ll surely no of a spot staying open.

Maybe some American birds will bring him back to their dorms for a superbowl party

I searched the length and breadth of Corfu for some an Irish pub that would be showing a Donegal match one year. None were showing it. I was devastated. I sat alone in an ‘Oirish pub’ and the Albanian barman gave me his laptop and indicated if I could source an illegal stream, he’d hook it up to the projecter. It worked. By throw-in, the bar was jammed with opposing fans and strays. We were playing the almighty dubs. It was 2014. The Albanian barman, delighted…didn’t let me put my hand in my pocket all night.

Nice story but TNH, no way you got a reliable illegal stream in 2014.

No way you got a reliable legal one either. I watched Dublin v Wexford in a pub abroad with a GAAGO stream that summer and it packed up after 20 minutes and never came back.

I think 2014 was the first year of GAAGO.
