I used to go to Murty's for a few Friday evening pints in the late 1980's! A fine bar. Dead handy too.

They stuck on the U-21 final the last day (result isn't the point!) when none of the bar except for 3 of us had any interest with minimum fuss. Pints were lovely and food was great.

I was in Murty's last night. It was fairly busy. I went up to the bar, got served immediately and ordered 2 pints of Guinness. 20 seconds later a different barman asked me was I okay and 30 seconds later a 3rd barman asked me if I wanted anything. As I said the place was fairly busy. Just wanted to say the place has great bar staff and the pints were lovely.

Ha ha. I'll sort it out this week!

They really need to sort out what they want.
I have gone in there before and after games and consistently left feeling completely belittled, and have heard the same from other family members.
On one occasion I was told there was no tables free despite at least twenty visible, and staff freaking out when I asked to look at a menu another day while having a drink.
I was there for 1 1/2 to 2 hours because I was meeting people, tables were always free but they were determined not to feed us.
It was last year no jersey on any occasion, I was wearing smart jeans, shoes, shirt, jacket. I wouldn't have dreamed of trying it with a jersey.
Even though the girls loved the decor we have not returned. The staff were just not managed properly, serious superiority complexes.
I may give it one more go if they have reviewed their attitude and when I did get a look at the menu it seemed decent.

Love Rabitt's deadly handy spot before a match. Lovely steak and plenty of screens to watch any other matches.
Having said that the stands were fairly full before the game on Saturday. Pub visits may have to be reserved for after the game this season.

Of course you had a choice....... Pride in the jersey or your g/f?

seems simple enough to me!

I went into Murty Rabbitt's last night after the game. I'd been there before but I got a reminder last night of how great a spot it is. Well done to those involved in organising it as the new Clan HQ.

On a less positive note, I had the misfortune of being dragged to Tribeton afterwards. (It was a friend's girlfriend's birthday. I had no choice).
The bouncer told me I had to cover my Connacht jersey before going in. To be fair to the bouncer he was a nice fella. It's the bar's policy and he was just doing his job. However, that place has some cheek. How much business do they get from people having drinks after the matches and they are banning people from wearing the jersey of the team that is generating that business for them. It's outrageous really.

I know the obvious response to this is 'What did you expect?' but I'm still annoyed.

Great stuff!

I'm going to do my best to be there!

Yep, the Pro 12 final will be on in Murtys tomorrow afternoon. Obviously , there are actual live matches so there'll be a bit back and forth!!

yes, im nearly sure they said around 2pm.
Wouldnt mind keeping an eye on scarlets vs Munster too. im sure that will be on one of the tv from 3pm

That's an excellent idea.

Anybody else hear anything about this?

They definitely should. I watched it during the week and it was SOOOO enjoyable. I followed it up by watching the game in Thomand
