Surprised no-one has mentioned any of the good bars in Thurles like Bowes and the Marble. There's a few good places around Croke Park, some of them like Meaghers already mentioned. Also the Auld Triangle in Dorset Street which gets a good crowd and is run by people involved in GAA in Dublin, and is the favourite watering hole of Ger Brennan's family! Unfortunately a lot of places are not friendly to GAA especially around Temple Bar where people wearing jerseys have been known to be refused on match days!
