Yes, it’s true! Traditionally, all beer was poured straight from the barrel or pumped from the cellar without nitrogen or carbon dioxide pushing it out the pipe.

Beer was also brewed with natural ingredients so artificial additives (stabilizers, flavourizers and colourizers) played no part – the way it is supposed to be.

That craft of real brewing is back and you can sample a pint or nine every Monday for the super low price of €5.00 per pint.

We all know that students can sometimes struggle to make ends meet. We also know that students can be a thirsty bunch. But we also know that students can appreciate good beer. What’s O’Connell’s answer to the student population out there? We call it Student Discount Days… Get quality beer at a price that you can afford, all pints on tap only €5.00. That’s what we call value for money from Sunday to Tuesday!

The great O’Connell’s bi-lingual pub quiz. Quiz Master has searched every corner of Wikipedia for best questions to baffle, confuddle and bedazzle the greatest minds of the last two centuries. Maybe you are smarter.

One way to find out is to join us at 19.00 and see if you can walk away with all the glory. Oh and there’s some super prizes to be won for the top 3 teams.

It’s the special night for all newsletter subscribers.

Every week we publish our newsletter with a special codeword with which you can get great discounts on all draught beer, cider and food throughout the night.

GUINNESS STAGE PRESENTS:

IDIOMATIC

Idiomatic is a five-piece pop/rock group from Tampere. They took their very first steps in 2006 and have played since. Really the band got it going in summer 2007 when it played its first gigs.
Musically Idiomatic is a mélange of this and that. The boys’ musical tastes and backgrounds are diverse and the common vision of the songs is usually formed during the jam sessions in the rehearsal room. Everybody brings something to the room and the mix of the five, well, that’s Idiomatic.
In autumn 2010 Idiomatic released their debut EP, There’s No Promise. It continues in their rich and powerfully melancholy indie sound from their earlier demos.

This time we have ‘unplugged’ the band for an acoustic experience…
