Most of the bars and restaurants you will find on this site are dedicated to all things Spanish. However, I must say that I have had some wonderful nights out, and [rugby] afternoons in some of these Irish bars and felt they were definitely worth a mention. My personal favourites have to be Finnegan’s and La Fontana de Oro.

The only one of these bars that I have been to that shows any respect to Irish sport is the James Joyce (used to be Kitty O’Sheas). They will always show the provinces playing rugby aswell as our international football and rugby team. In the others you will generally be met with “What’s rugby?” and “We’ll show the irish match after the english one” and other such nonsense.
