Third Floor Lucky? Coppers Opens Up New Floor, And It Appears To Be For GAA Members Only

Three is the magic number…

Her

Copper Face Jacks, what a place. Just when we thought it couldn’t get any better Cathal Jackson raises the bar… by introducing a new one.

The Dublin club is due to open its shiny, new third level bar tonight and we’re just a bit excited, as a new floor means only one thing… an extra flight of stairs to battle with on the way out, (and new bar staff, unless they just move your old man from the second floor up, he could run that bar on his own, blind-folded).


The empty first floor in CFJs… where, after tonight, one third of the magic happens.

Coppers… Where you’re guaranteed to meet a Patrick Swayze. 

Coppers has become known over the years as a culchie haunt or as we prefer call it, a Country Club.  However the third floor bar is different, if Twitter is anything to go by, it is just for GAA county players.

In the greatest display of social media PR we’ve ever seen, messages of support flooded in to Coppers Twitter account from all over the country… actually from one GAA star player from every county.

Take a look at this for yourself… 10 counties represented; we suspect the other 22 feel slightly shafted. Free drinks at the new bar for these lads, no doubt.

 

Dublin’s Bernard Brogan kicks off the well wishes…

 

The star of the County Down, Benny Coulter follows suit…

 

Derry man, Paddy Bradley intends on visiting September 22nd.

 

Kerry’s Darren O’ Sullivan is well fit for 3 floors of craic. Not a bother to him.

 

Meath men Joe Sheridan & Mark Ward are obviously CFJ fans. Mark are you heading tonight? we’re genuinely interested…

 

Antrim’s Paddy Cunningham hopes to pop in over the All-Ireland Football Final weekend. We hope you do too, Paddy.

 

Armagh’s Aaron Kernan likes party hats, cocktails and beers… which can all be purchased in the new thrid floor bar!

 

Carlow’s Brendan Murphy will be getting a free drink for this one…

 

It’s all fun and games for Laois lad, Colm Begley… Colm, we’ll let you kick the games off.

 

As the longest serving senior Gaelic player, we’ll hazard a guess and say that Sligo’s Eamonn O’ Hara had his fair share of night in Coppers.

 

And our JOE bro, Sean Nolan tells it like it is. Kieran McGeeney left out in the cold again, as Cathal Jackson raises the bar… we’ll get our coats.

 

Folks, if you do venture to check out what the new bar has to offer, enjoy yourselves… We might even see you there.

Cathal, feel free to send us the coveted Coppers Gold Cards, we’ll put them to good use, we promise.
