Early morning pints in Dublin

[The Watcher Pat]

Heading to the match on Saturday morning, 7.17 train (£10 return sweet) and should be in Dublin around 9. Just wondering where the best place would be to get a few pints at that time of the morning..

[Donagh]

The Boars Head on Capel St. There's another one as you are heading towards Smithfield - Keatings. There used to be a couple down by the Point as well but can't remember the names.

[Denn Forever]

Is the pub on the corner of Store St. and Amiens St. opposite BusArus not an early pub?  Pubs around Moore St. may be early pubs but the Boars Head is probably your best bet.  Also the Luas you get at Connolly goes right past it>

You will get a pint in Molloys, Pat just down from the train station!

I remember a thread about the best breakfasts in Dublin before games.  It didn't throw up as many places as this thread has on pubs!

i remember years ago going for a pint in the Windjammer near westland Row dart station the pints were lovely but jesus we knocked them back fairly quickly we were getting queer looks off the locals and we didn't even have our jerseys on it must have been our accents 

[Donagh]

Read an article in the Irish Times about the Windjammer a few months ago. Didn't seem the type of place that would be too welcoming to non-regulars.

Ach John, knowledge of the local early house used to be an essential requirement for any travels around the country - in case you ever missed the bus home

I've never understood the need for a drink before a match.

[screenexile]

I'm the same ziggy. An odd time I'd take a couple but getting blocked at a match wouldn't appeal to me at all. I'd have somebody lamped just past the throw in and if it was a Tyrone game I'd have had bate 10 boys out of the bar before the match even started!
