Look, we’d be the first to admit that sports bars aren’t exactly top of our list when it comes to happening hotspots around the city.

Unless Ireland won or there was a 3 for 1 special on G&Ts, memory of time spent in sports bars aren’t our most cherished

And up until now, we’ve been of the opinion that it’s impossible to enjoy a night in a sports bar unless you enjoy sport, but it looks like new bar, Buskers on the Ball in Dublin’s Temple Bar Hotel, might have actually done the impossible.

The one of a kind social interactive sports bar and entertainment venue offers so much more than endless football or – God forbid – golf commentary,  and instead caters to anyone up for a bit of craic.

So, while your other half or football-obsessed mates are glued to the semi-final of whatever’s on, you can get stuck into games of ping-pong, pool, foosball and shuffle board.

Speaking at the launch on Fleet Street last night, General Manager Patrick Kenny: “We wanted to create a space where sport, socialising and entertainment all come together to create an experience that everyone can enjoy.”

“It doesn’t matter if you are here to cheer on your favourite team or to socialise and have fun – we have something for everyone.”

Oh, and the drink?

Well, from craft beer to cocktails, you won’t exactly be stuck for choice this weekend.

Aaaand it’s official – we’re converted.
