Got a stag do in Madrid the weekend of the Old Firm. Anyone know of a decent bar to watch the game in?

Dubliner or Oconnell St are Irish Bars in the European sense where they show all sport and sell Guiness.
I’m going to Madrid in September.
Was planning to propose there would love a rangers bar to take her for a drink after it.

Always reminds me of a story of being in Madrid for an OF.
Was wandering around with my Hateley top on looking for somewhere to watch it, saw a place advertising the game, went in and it was a bit celticy.
Was pretty dead, went to the bar, English cnt behind the bar says, the owner will kill me if I serve you wearing that - I laughed as if he was joking. He just stared at me, prick was deadly serious.
So now I'm late for the game and come across an O'Neils, pop my head in the door, lassie behind the bar points downstairs, I rush down the stairs just for celtic to score their third!
It was the 6-2 game in 2000 - I got a bigger cheer than the fkn goal. Cnts.

Watched the final this season in OConnell street, was a good pub. Dubliner is next door but wasn’t showing it.

Watched a couple of games in the Dubliner before, only thing Irish about it was it sold Guinness and had a couple of signs saying Dublin 1000mls that way etc and showed rugby.
No idea what it would be like for an OF though.

They won't have the game on, but if we win and all is well with the world you could head here, nice rooftop bar.

Just be wary you might need to reserve a table at James Joyce to be sure of seat. Last time I was across there was a couple of big games on telly (ours and a English PL game on different screens) and place was mobbed, and not letting anyone else in, asking if we had a reservation.
JJoyce is probably best bet though. Theres a couple of Irish pubs near Sol as a back-up too,

Sounds like the James Joyce is where to be
Irish bars are probably ok on the most part don’t see Madrid being full of their lot

We were in it later to watch Joshua v Klitshko after watching the Old Firm game elsewhere, there was a group of mentally challengeds who had been there all day and one ended up with a sore face. Lots of British guys watching the boxing.
