Charlie Brown Sports Bar

I visited this pub three times and have had three different experiences whilst there, the only consistent things were the amazing drink prices (Pitcher of fosters, 3 pints, 8 euro /​2 shots of Jäger and energy drink, 6 euro) and the flock of crazy young people throughout the pub. Luckily the cheap drink outweighs the company as the drunker I get, the less I care.
Seeing as the pub is right by AIT I was already expecting it to mostly be serving young students, what I was not expecting was to see multiple people dancing on the tables (and bar staff blatantly ignoring this) on a Tuesday night followed by a significantly older gentleman creeping up beside them for a feel.
Smoking area is lovely and big, they have a big screen showing sports, a jukebox which had a great selection of songs including metal/​rock and two pool tables.
They seem to have a number of DJs on various nights, when visiting on Wednesday night the music was Techno and very enjoyable.
Overall, pretty laid back pub, would enjoy more if I was younger (I’m 25) and possibly really really drunk.

Once known ads Brendan’s bar, now Charlie Browns — Students and unfriendly locals.
The bar is well up to standard but the staff are the most ignorant I have ever met anywhere, it must be from dealing with students all the time. It is more or less a campus bar beside the Athlone College.
IF YOU ARE YOUNG, you will meet other young mad people there, so it may be fun for you as you will be too drunk to notice the staff, in that case go there!

When I studied abroad, this was the bar next to campus. Its a nice place to watch a game, play cards, or have a pint. Oddly enough my first guinness in Ireland was here at Charlie Brown, under an american flag. I just happen to sit at that table. Stupid American.
