Might be better craic in McAleers on Sunday Ziggy

might not be a bad bet. believe it or not they actually have both the soccer and the gaelic on whever they clash

Try the Terraces on John Street. A good GAA pub, with plenty of craic.

I wouldn't bother with Sally's, too many eejits running about it.

any kerrymen coming up for a bit of banter

The matches or the punters?

I know I've been away from Omagh for a very long time, but wasn't "El Paso" a big army pub back in the day?

If your going to the match head to strains beside the bus depot its closer to the pitch.

Barring that i would rule out sallys in regards of atmosphere ( no way near the same since it has been done up). Close to sallys you have the terrace which would be ok, but most of the celtic supporters will go to Mc Gurks or The weigh inn

Stay away from el paso if you want to get the game

It would be unusual (understatement) to go into Scott & Ewing in a GAA shirt. Did anyone do this? I went to a pub quiz in there a few times when I worked in Omagh and Rangers shirts seemed to be the dress code.

Back in the day I also drank in McElroys, the Coach, the Monument and the Royal Arms on occasion. Workforce didn't know what foot I kicked with which as a "blow-in" was probably the best way to keep it.

what happened to molly sweeneys?

Workforces in most places (Im assuming you mean the pubs) didnt really care which foot most people kicked with - with the exception of the folks down at Scott and Ewing. I worked in McElroys for almost 7 years all in, including a couple stints in Bar Ten. We werent allowed serve the soldiers - and being as I was the only bartender on most saturday afternoons that was my pleasure to have to tell them. They were all very decent about it - better than the local travelling crowd who fired a stool at us on the way out the door.

Is molly sweeneys closed?

Puckoon · February 16, 2009, 05:39:57 PM

Believe it or not Fionn - that was a personal issue between O'Hailpins company that evening and her former boyfriend who was on the door.

It was a disgrace none the less.

The same arsehole turned away a chef from McElroys at Bar Ten on christmas night, as he was well built and had an english accent. He got the p45 soon after.
