has anyone ever gone boozing in this place?
i was in there one saturday afternoon allright and i must say it is quite an undesirable establishment.
Non stop sky sports news and premier leauge attracts a rather pitiful clientelle, they claim to have over 70 TVs in the bar showing all sports but in reality its all the TVs bar one showing english / scottish soccer in some form and the other TV was probably broken or something at the time.
Think Buskers in temple bar minus the women and you have the players lounge, its full of hideous tracksuit bottom wearing local types also.
i wouldnt be going back in a rush
It’s not Pikeman. It’s down further towards Croke Park. Not far from Meaghers.
It’s an absolute shithole full of the dregs from the neighbouring areas. I was in Meaghers one evening having a pint and watching the football when some scumbag wanders down from that place, bursts in and shouts something like “Any of ye cunts in here support rangers, I’ll burst your fucking head…”. There were about 6 people in the front bar including myself , 3 auld fella’s and one of the auld fella’s grandchildren. The barman told him to fuck right off and he disappeared.
Apparently the fella who owns it leaves any sort of a cunt in. A lot of which have been barred from all the other pubs in the area
Live not too far from this establishment and have walked past it on occasion on route to clontarf… From the outside it doesnt look too bad of a place but the cliental standing outside it dont look the most desirable
If you go down Richmond Road till you hit a fork in the road with a petrol station on your right… and bout 500m up the rd on the right in clonliffe while 100m to the left in Players Lounge continueing down this road will bring you onto i think Fairview Strand…
