Bilbao Travel Forum

Hi to everyone. We are staying in Bilbao on May 1 and would like to watch CL game Liverpool - Chelsea on that night. Any suggestions where we can go? Exact location would be very helpful. I learnt from the message below, that there are Irish bars like Kerry Sport Bar and Irish Stones in the town. Do they usually show CL games and English Premier League in general? Is it necessary to book in advance?

Thanks a lot in advance.

I am sorry but I think that it is going to be difficult, there are a few irish pubs but as far as I can remember I havenīt seen football there, one thing is sure, you wonīt need to book in advance. Sorry about that...

Jontxu,

Thanks a lot for your reply. Does it mean that all the CL games are shown in Spain on public TV? I mean, for example, when Valencia was playing Chelsea in CL, could you watch it on public TV or do you need to have a payTV to watch CL games? Here in Russia you need to have a pay TV to watch English Premier league or some CL games, so if you don't have it, you just go to a pub or sports bar to watch a game. But anyway, thanks a lot.

Hi Jontxu,
Their are a few genunine Irish bars in Bilbao and nearby area area. The Wicklow arms in Bilbao but does not have Setanta etc for sports.Their is the Hole in the wall in Castro who has Sports,as well as Scanlanīs Tavern in Gernika who have Setanta.the Harp bar in Pamplona and the Carlingford in Victoria....
