Lemon & Duke — Fan Bar

Lemon & Duke

Backed by Irish rugby internationals Rob Kearney, Brian O'Driscoll, and Jamie Heaslip, Lemon & Duke on Royal Hibernian Way is Dublin's premier sports bar and the unofficial Six Nations headquarters for fans who can't get Aviva Stadium tickets. Multiple large screens cover every angle of the room, the menu leans into classic Irish pub food done well, and the ownership's rugby pedigree means the place genuinely understands what fans need on match day. Booking well in advance is essential for Ireland home fixtures.

Mulligan's of Poolbeg Street

Established in 1782, Mulligan's is widely regarded as the home of the finest pint of Guinness in Dublin and has been a gathering place for GAA and rugby fans for generations. On All-Ireland Final weekends the pub heaves with jerseys from every county in Ireland, creating one of the most electric sporting atmospheres in the country without a stadium in sight. The sawdust-on-the-floor, no-frills interior is a deliberate contrast to modern sports bars — and fans love it all the more for that.

Mulligan's Pub

Mulligan's on Poolbeg Street, established in 1782, is widely regarded as serving the finest pint of Guinness in Dublin and has been the gathering place for sports fans, journalists, and theatre people for centuries. The wood-panelled interior and complete absence of televisions make it a pub for conversation rather than match watching — the ideal post-match debrief location after a rugby international or GAA final. Being handed a perfect Mulligan's Guinness after a day at Croke Park or the Aviva is one of the purest experiences in Irish sports travel.
