I'm trying to pull together a list of pubs that show Connacht games regularly, especially ones that will show them even if something more popular is on the TV or if the game is on Scottish or Welsh TV only.
Galway City is covered as the Dail are committed to show all the games.
Any other pubs around the province or indeed outside the province or abroad that are good places to watch Connacht?
Also interested to know of any black spots where a Connacht-friendly pub is badly needed.

Geargoids in Oranmore will show a game if you ask but there is only 2 boxes for 4 tvs so best to ask before ordering a pint.

The Baggot Inn in Dublin say they are showing all televised Connacht matches, but I've never been in so can't confirm.
If anyone up there wants to check it out this evening, let us know how it goes.

Pinky im just off the phone with Alan who is the general manager in the Baggot inn and a big Connacht fan as well, he has said they want to make the Baggot Inn the rugby supporters place to go and guarantees that they will show all of the Connacht games when they are on.
Courage is knowing what lies on the other side and still opening the door.

Good to hear. The few times I've been caught in Dublin when a match was on t'was impossible to get anywhere to show it (and if they did it was on a small telly in the back, sound off etc. etc.)

Could we make the Baggot In our meeting point for the Leinster game in Dec.

Yep, we're good to go in the Dail on Friday night from 6.30!

Can anyone recommend a good pub in Dublin city to watch the Cardiff match this Friday?
At the moment thinking of going out to Slatterys in Ballsbridge to watch it, but would prefer somewhere more central

I'm sure Slatterys will show it . The Bridge in Ballsbridge also an option. Mulligans in Sandymount will definitely show it - show all the connacht games - three or four decent screens there and comfortable to watch a game in.

Was hoping to get closer to town, but Slatterys will do fine. I know the manager, so always happy to give him some money.
Live the other side of town though, so was hoping for somewhere, a little cheaper to get home from

Right lads, I'm getting this in early. For some god forsaken reason, instead of going to gloucester (any other weekend on my doorstep!!!!) I'm over in Dublin for the Easter. Is there any hope of anywhere showing the Gloucester game, or am I fighting a losing battle???

It's listed as being on Sky Sports 2 that night. Nearly every pub with a screen will show it.
Where in Dublin will you be based, and I'll see if I can recommend a pub for you

I'll be based in the lovely suburb of coolock, so northside. The problem I'm kind of getting at is its that holiest of days Good Friday. So am I right in thinking that it's an impossible task finding anywhere that will be showing the game. I'm not fussed to be fair whether drink is involved it was just to see if anywhere would be showing our match.
