A nation holds its breath… again. This Thursday, the Boys in Green head to Prague for a high-stakes World Cup Play-off semi-final. It’s simple: win, and we’re one step away from the World Cup. Lose, and the dream waits another four years.

At Nancy Spain’s, we’re doing what we do best—providing the best atmosphere to watch the drama unfold. No gimmicks, just great views of the screens, a proper pint, and a room full of people who care as much about the result as you do.

What to Expect:

• The Atmosphere: The nearest thing to being at the Fortuna Arena in Prague, minus the airfare.
• Match Specials: We’ll have the usual cold favourites on tap with plenty of Murphys and Whistler Whiskey. If you get peckish at half time, pop next to Denadas for the special empanada “O’Nada”
• The After-Party: Win or lose, we’ll have live music immediately following the final whistle to keep the night going.

Details:

Entry: Free (but we recommend getting in early if you want a seat with a view).

Kick-off: 7:45 PM.

Nancy Spain’s story didn’t start with a quiet pint; it began with a bold leap of faith from County Kerry to the bustling streets of London. She brought with her a resilience and warmth that turned a simple pub into a sanctuary for the Irish community. 

This St. Patrick’s Day, we aren’t just celebrating a saint—we’re celebrating that enduring spirit. We’re opening our doors for a day of tradition, connection, and world-class craic. 

No gimmicks, no shortcuts—just the best Murphys in the city and an atmosphere Nancy herself would recognise. 

The Day’s Lineup

While the world turns green outside, we’re keeping things authentic inside. 

• The Main Session: The lights go low and the energy goes up starting at 3pm, with a curated lineup of live Irish music. From soulful ballads to high-octane jigs, we’re bringing the soul of a Kerry kitchen session to the big city. 

• The Perfect Pour: Our bars will be fully stocked and our taps flowing. Whether it’s a creamy pint or a premium Irish whiskey, we serve it with the respect it deserves. 

• A Place to Belong: In the tradition of Nancy’s first pub, our venues are a home away from home. Whether you’re reconnecting with your heritage or just looking for the best atmosphere in town, you’ve got a seat at our table.

We’re opening the doors for a day of unadulterated craic, world-class rugby, and the best atmosphere and live music after the game.

The Game Plan: We’ll be screening the Six Nations live and loud. Grab the girls and bag a spot early for:

• Ireland vs. Italy (2:10 PM): Watch the boys in green take over the Aviva.
• Scotland vs. England (4:40 PM): The ultimate Calcutta Cup showdown.

The Craic: Not a rugby fan? Don’t worry—the stout is cold, the live music starts right after the second game, and the vibes are unmatched. Switch the roses for a perfectly poured pint of Murphy’s and celebrate the real loves of your life: your best mates.

On Saturday 1st November, Nancy Spains Monument will be buzzing with stout, stories and plenty of good craic as we host a one-night celebration for Murphys everywhere.

If your name has a Murphy in it, bring your ID and your first pint of Murphy’s is free – because every Murphy deserves a Murphy’s.

In the lead-up to the night, we’ve teamed up with Time Out for a special competition. Guess how many Murphys you think will turn up and you could win a trip to Ireland.
