Hold up, you are not a big drinker but every night you are off, you seem to be on here sinking jack daniels. Is your whole life a contradiction? Do you suffer from short term memory loss?

Tell me about it , the last day a few of the lads managed to venture away from O'Reillys and couldn't believe there was other places . I would be the opposite and head off no see what else there is to offer |

I understand the mentality of some lads were the away trips are a rare break away from family life and all they want is a pub to sit in with their mates and have a bit of craic. I'd far rather explore the city and also not be gouged by Irish bar prices. I'll go to one to watch GAA or if there's an Irish match on but otherwise I try to avoid the places.

When I'm passed out in the middle of Albufeira from all that Vodka "Don't worry lads, I don't drink"

One of the best nights we had in Tbilisi was up in some local bars in an area a few young wans recommended to us. We were in McClarens when one of the lads got talking to them so we hopped into a taxi and headed up there. There were a few other paddies up there but not too many. We had a right laugh with the locals.

I could agree with you but then we'd both be wrong.

Personally, I don't see the attraction of Irish pubs abroad. Would much rather head somewhere full of locals.
I'd imagine though that many people on here, and in general, don't really like 'travelling', per se. They just want to get away from work/the missus/the rain and have a few scoops of lager in a bar with English-speaking staff. I'd compare those who sit in an Irish bar all day to those who go on 'sun' holidays. They could be in Spain, Portugal, Greece, Cuba, Turkey, etc., the country is irrelevant. They're just looking for sunny weather and a few pints. So for some Irish fans, it doesn't matter if we're in Germany, Georgia or Kazakhstan. They're not there for the culture or sightseeing, so the Irish bar will do grand. It's not what I look for from an away trip, but each to their own. |

Good the night before the match to get the craic and the songs in...
But while away worth finding out the local gems of pubs on the other nights

The euros and poland away were great trips with no irish pubs but the culture of sitting down waiting on a waiter to pass when you could have downed another two pints in the same time and when the beer does come down the glass in only 3/4 full to the 1/2 litre mark and the head is 3 inches big.

Funny you mentioned Skopje the Irish Bar there was one of the best on any trip with the prices actually reduced for us. The man never sold as much drink in 6 months.

I love the way a few people on here classify "drinking in local bars" as culture .....

Trying how many shots of Vodka they put in in their bars is culture in my eyes |

First question we got in college was, what is culture. |
