Title: Anyone interested in a pint on Good Friday?
Post by: admin on March 19, 2013, 04:26:59 PM
In Dublin, in either Connolly or Heuston. Have never done it, so wouldn't mind giving it a whirl. Early start, maybe 2pm? Nothing fancy, beer wise. Just a couple of pints and a chat about the state of homebrew :)

Whats the parameters around the ticket purchase.
Do you have to be travelling so far?
Can i buy a pint with a valid DART ticket for instance?

Id imagine they will enforce this strictly, given the day.

ps: been through connolly loads of times, didnt know there was a pub.

If they do that just show them your leap card. "Well lads, I *Might* tag on..."  :)

Can you use a leap card to go on intercitty trains?

Im nearly sure the rule around drinking in the trainstation on good friday is you have to be travelling a certain distance.

The furthest a leap card would get you is Maynooth as far as I know.

Haha.

Feel free to head to the DCFC social club for drinks beforehand. They have Hilden bottles but are looking into getting O'Hara's in. I should be there myself anyway. Otherwise beer options in Derry are pretty limited.
