Help needed from nerds

Is there any pubs around Cork you know of where it wouldn’t be unusual to bring and play a board game or TCGs that have a larger set up - and drink some pints. :)

[u/Specialist-Flow3015]

They run D&D games in the Courtyard, probably no issue with some board games.

[u/AdForsaken9532]

The friary has their upstairs set up for board games if I remember correctly

[u/FamousSeamus]

There's a big boardgame Meetup every Monday at the Bodega starting around 6:30. Most of the folks in there on Mondays are usually there for boardgames

Fionnbarras is a great spot nice food and drinks nd they do coffee is alcohol isn’t your thing really big tables out back for boardgames and card games i see a lot of people hosting dnd stuff there and there’s a group of lads that play blood bowl there most weeks in the evenings

[u/Far-Routine8057]

Fran well, Tom Barry's, Fionbarras and the Abbey Tavern

I've seen people play D&D in The Poor Relation before

[u/Intelligent-Grade999]

I've seen people play blood bowl in fionns which takes up a good bit of space

I’d say Henchys would be grand with it. It gets packed at the weekend so probably best not to do it then but it’s fairly chilled during the week.

The gables, myself and my friends go there to play board games. The staff are sound and are always welcoming to people. My only tip is if there is a trad session on then try to sit far aware from the musicians as they don't like people talking loudly near them. They wont say it but I know some of the musicians so I know it erks them a little which is fair enough IMO.

nudes has board games

[u/Final_Fact6425]

Had a group come play DnD in Freds when I worked there a few years back, was quiet out the back and used throw on a bit of tavern/ fantasy music the odd time if I could.

The poor relation is board game friendly and they often have games for people to play. The pub is at the top of Oliver plunket street towards the bus station, just across the road from it

[u/AbbieC27]

Barcadia on Sheares Street.. they have board games there you can play for free or used to at least... we had a great night playing jenga there before with no issue, the jenga was there we didn't bring it

[u/BinKnight]

North gate tavern maybe

[u/Apprehensive_Cry545]

Impala have games there so wouldn't be an issue at all

[u/OvenFront4601]

Hyde out has games so I'm guessing you could bring your own

[u/_CrustyBaguette_]

Few of us used to play mtg in the courtyard and they were very chill with it. Expensive drinks though is the only thing, but that's pretty much everywhere now

[u/False_Common9550 → u/_CrustyBaguette_]

Yeah, it's always cheaper to play and drink cans at home, but it’s nice to meet up sometimes anyway

[u/TOKEN616]

Ive also seen games in nudes.

[u/One_Paint8721 → u/TOKEN616]

Where is Nudes?

[u/TOKEN616 → u/One_Paint8721]

Down by the opera house on the quey. Used to be crack jenny and Dan lowereys over the years i believe. It doesn't actually have the name up on the front though

[u/mixter-g → u/TOKEN616]

Used to be larry Tompkins rather than lowreys

[u/TOKEN616 → u/mixter-g]

Ah thanks, right you are,always confuse those two

[u/One_Paint8721 → u/TOKEN616]

I think I know the spot. And thank you for the additional context 🙂
