Dublin Square: San Diego World Cup Headquarters

The road to the FIFA World Cup is underway, and it all goes down in South Africa June 11 – July 11, 2010. It’s time to lace up, stretch out and get ready to witness an international showdown of the world’s best soccer teams. OK fine, the world’s best football teams. 

While the 2010 World Cup is slated to be an incredible success, with every stadium predicted to sell out, many of us here in San Diego aren’t fortunate enough to fly to South Africa and be a part of history in the making. But just because we won’t be live in the action doesn’t mean we can’t watch every game and create our own fun.

Dublin Square is a warm and welcoming authentic Irish pub and grill that is the perfect setting for all your World Cup watching this season. Worlds away from your average San Diego bar, Dublin Square radiates with the lively pub culture of Dublin and is San Diego’s very own piece of Ireland, literally. 

Dublin Square was actually manufactured by O’Sullivan Interiors, and every single piece of décor – from artifacts on the wall to the wood beneath your feet – was shipped thousands of miles across the Atlantic in order to reach its new home on Fourth Avenue in Downtown San Diego. 

With Irish heart and European tradition soaked deep in its walls, Dublin Square is a great destination for watching the World Cup in San Diego. Boasting four HD flat screen TVs, a state-of-the-art sound system, generous game-time hours and a host of new happy hour specials, Dublin Square invites you to come join the World Cup excitement and root for your favorite team. 

Don’t miss the last World Cup warm up bright and early at 5am on Sunday, May 30th as England takes on Japan. And yes, Dublin Square Irish Pub and Grill will be open at 5am to serve hot coffee and breakfast treats to our city’s biggest fans. Dublin Square will open as early as necessary to accommodate the biggest World Cup games of the season. The bar will start serving drinks at 6am sharp, and the full breakfast menu will start cooking at 8am. 

Dublin Square offers an enormous menu of authentic Irish meals hand-crafted with a contemporary twist. Breakfast favorites include: Tullamore’s Irish Country Twist – Corned beef and Irish banger hash, mixed and marinated in specialty herbs, built into a thick 1 1/2" slab, topped with two fresh sunny side up eggs, finished off with the famous Harp battered onion rings and ranchero sauce; Irish Farm Platter – A heaping platter of O'Brien potatoes topped with 2 eggs, ranchero sauce, melted Swiss and cheddar cheese. Add Irish bacon, sausage, ham or corned beef; and Stuffed French Toast – Creme Brulee battered, layered with fresh berries and cream cheese filling.

As you watch the game and fill up on your hearty Irish breakfast, enjoy your spirit of choice from Dublin Square’s full bar. Featuring over 20 types of both Irish whiskey and beer, with such staples as Guinness, Bass, Harp, and Stella Artois on draft, in addition to a full wine list and specialty cocktails, you’re sure to find your game-time buzz at the Dublin Square bar. 

Speaking of drinks, Dublin Square offers a great daily Happy Hour from 2 - 7pm (+ extended all night Sunday and Monday!) with: $3 Drafts, $4 Premium Import Drafts, $3 Bottled beers, $5 Bushmills Irish Whiskey, $5 Tequila shooters, $3.50 Irish Coffee, $3.50 Well drinks & $3.50 House Wine.

When the World Cup game schedule happens to overlap with the Happy Hour party, Dublin Square will be the wildest venue this side of South Africa!
