Croke Park

The home of Gaelic Football and a hive of activity from May until September is Croke Park. If you are a “novice” and travelling to Croke Park there is a small bit of advice here regrading timings and the relative distances to the different stands from the city center as it’s not as straightforward as you would think. If you want to go for a beer closer to the ground then we have listed a few bars in the vicinity of  Croke Park that are worth a look. Its not a definitive list (no shortage of bars around the ground) but its simply a few bars that cater for the sporting punters well. ‘Eatin is Cheatin’, or so we are told, so we haven’t majored on listing every kebab hut from the city enter to the stadium and back again. Après Match: Well some to gravitate to Temple Bar** area or the Grafton Street Area. Baggot Street is also popular Doheny & Nesbitts, O’Donoghue’s and Toners all in close proximity to each other getting a lively group of supporters. Plenty of Late Bars and Night Clubs to keep you amused until the early hours. ** If you want to get refused from any licensed premises in the Temple Bar area after a Football or Hurling game – simply wear a GAA top. And if you really want to ensure that you get refused – wear a Dublin top. Capital Crimes. Read more
