 Professional soccer club |
North Circular Road (Dalymount Park) Dublin, Leinster Ireland +353 1 868 0923 http://www.bohemians.ie |
The Irish Premiere league does not enjoy the fanatical popularity of its English equivalent, even in Ireland, but Dublin's best football (soccer) club draws good crowds to the Dalymount Park, especially against arch-rivals Shamrock Rovers. The players thrill the hometown crowd, and have made Bohemians a perennial championship contender. The season runs from Feb to the end of Nov and the matches are played randomly on the dates in between; check the website for specific dates and details. Game day tickets are EUR10 adults; EUR5 students and seniors. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Arcade games and more |

If arcade games and amusements are your idea of fun, than look no further than the bizarrely named Dr Quirkey's, which features a bewildering array of amusements: from spectacular aircraft simulators to highly addictive slot machines. Due to its central location on O'Connell Street, it can occasionally get a little overcrowded and boisterous, but Dr Quirkey's is a lot of fun and is popular with both children and adults.
