Simple question really to those to travelled the last time which of these bars do you think is the better all round spot . Myself who visited both I have to go with the Hangar myself as an outdoor setting really had it for me . Now yer lots of Ex pats but hey it was decent enough now the service could be slow at times . As for McCleans well only had one drink in there small bar but they did have decent bands I was told but small and pokey , now if you like to smoke 80 fags an hour without one touching your lips then this is the place for you . |

 Murph its McClarens and the Hangar If I could vote would go with McClarens Food, Music, karaoke and not completely rammed like the Hangar was. That said, we always ended up in the Hangar |

Was only in McClarens once and seemed a nice spot. Tommy Feely doing the Sex Pistols 'GTSQ' karaoke was priceless with his purple died hair . An absolute legend and total gent  Thought the Hangar was a great spot and nice to sit out in even at night as it was still pretty warm. The Wales-Austria match will be on after ours at 10.45pm so we'll be able to catch most of that after the match. Anyone try that Dublin pub which is a bit further out of the way from the other two? Looks nice enouigh in the inside but will probably be rammed given it's size.

Apart from the one that fleezed us! They were advertising bottles of grey goose at ridiculously cheap prices so we had a rake of bottles between us..the bill came then and it was really expensive, turns out they were giving us bottles of a different size..There was nearly a riot leaving the place

It was indeed apart from us all getting locked in that bar and been held to ransom to settle a ridiculous bill. But yeah the strip was very lively. |

MacClarens for us deffo the Hangar was the slowest service and craziest way of paying for drink ive ever seen. Also loads of other bars and restaurants on the strip where MacClarens was. The craic there the night of the game was one of the best on any away trip. ------------- One City,One County,One Club GUFC will be back. |

| McClarens and Shardeni Street for us I think. We booked our digs with that area in mind so all good. |

That rings a bell. I've vague memories of some obscure payment system. What was it again? I don't really remember the service being that bad mind. ------------- Wings? They're only the band The Beatles could have been. |

I think it was you asked for a beer at the bar one girl would serve you then pass the bill onto someone on the till , so you had to pay the till person even thou your beer was at the other end of the bar . Now if you were sat outside you just paid the waitress . Only got messy when everyone turned up really . ------------- Lansdowne Road debut aged 52 and 201 days . |

They had a bar outside with the same system but seeing as the two girls were standing next to each other it wasn't an issue. Their pizza after the match gave me the trots...pure filth! McClarens for me next time. They have seats outside it as well albeit a much smaller section. ------------- "One of the dominant facts in English life during the past three quarters of a century has been the decay of ability in the ruling class."

Avoid eating in McClarens. Wasn't it there a group of lads were waiting about an hour and a half for their burger and chips that they ordered. When it arrived it was a McDonalds meal on a plate. Seemed to be a lot more local places around McClarens and the strip so would prefer to end up around that area, saying that I had a good time in the hangar every night/morning that I was there. ------------- The dark side..

I'll check with the others to see if they remember the place. I know this was a great spot. Wine was cheap as chips. It ended up we had a 6 course meal, drinks etc. and a local band playing for around €15 each if my memory serves me well. It's close to McClarens and worth a visit. ------------- FRANCO BARESI: Always supporting the green brigade |

As for match day the beer house next to the ground was outstanding , i would say there was about 10 of us there and had a sing off between both sets of fans. The Dumplings were grand and 40 was about right between us . Yer man who sung the 2000 year old Local song should enter the Eurovision he was something else .
