- pietrix79Dublin, Ireland54 contributionsIf you never tried to bet, do it here!It is so great fun! I was there always with a group of mates, having good time, betting and eating/drinking together! Betting is not that hard to understand. TBH you can just bet minimum amounts (1EUR) and you would not spend more than about 20 EUR all together (if lose everything ;)) If you are lucky, you can win some nice prizes of course. Booklets given with tickets are helping you to bet. You can watch all races from indoor seats, TVs, or you can go outside to watch it live.Hi Thank you for taking the time to review your recent visit with us in Shelbourne Park. Delighted to read you had an enjoyable experience and hope to see you all again soon.

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Brought My Front Office Team Here Last Week as part of a Team Building Exercise. When we arrived we were seated upstairs in the Restaurant Area on the middle tier of Tables. We had booked for the Finger Food Package which was basically what it said on the tin, basic enough food but was enough for the whole team. A great Night of Racing which the whole team enjoyed.
If I was to be picky I would say I was a bit disappointed on two fronts:
1. No Table side Service at all offered and when we asked for Drinks we were told "Oh that's not on your package, you have to go to the bar yourselves". For the money paid, and the very Basic food served you would expect a bit more.
2. No Option to bet with Card! Honestly Guys! We're in 2023 here, I would expect that if Horse Racing in this Country allows Betting with Card Payments the Dogs can do it. But no, Only option is to Take money out of the ATM downstairs and Pay with Cash.
Other than that, It's A fun Night out that Brings Teams together!

What a fabulous night out, the food was excellent and watching these amazing canine athletes was such a privilege. The children aged 5 and 9 really enjoyed their evening and the children’s menu was very high quality. (Menus in photos below) the 5 year old was fascinated watching the track maintenance team preparing the track before racing and was so excited to see the Christmas crackers at the table. You could also meet some greyhounds on arrival, what a treat.
After our delicious meal, where dessert was a real highlight, the childrens desserts being some of the best our children have gotten on a meal out ( photos below ) we watched the racing trackside and the children loved seeing the dogs up close. Breath taking athletes.
Not only is Shelbourne Park a great night out with friends it’s also a great family night out.

Staff were extremely helpful and friendly. We hadn't been before and needed some explanation, which they were happy to provide. We ate at the restaurant also and had a great meal, tasty and reasonably priced. Would highly recommend visiting.

Was there with a few mates at the weekend. Music was good all night and there was a very good atmosphere. They had the rugby as well which was very handy. The staff were lovely and the drinks were nice and cheap too. Even won a few bob for myself!

Désolé pour le retard dans le retour à vous. Le parking est ouvert les courses du samedi soir et est accessible aux camping-cars, mais comme il est fermé le dimanche, il ne convient pas de stationner la nuit.

HI Carol, Doors open from 6:30pm and first race is off just before 8pm. We have no set time for dinner service so when all your group is seated comfortable we would then begin. We would advise due to these nights being full the earlier the better but if one or two of your party are running late we will hold off until you are ready to order. Hope you all have a wonderful night.
See you Thursday

Bonjour
je suis allé sur le site du stade de Shelbourne où se déroulent les courses de lévriers (greyhound) à Dublin.
Et a priori, il y a des courses prévues le mardi 27/3/18 en soirée.
Vous pouvez réserver sur le site les entrées (simples ou avec diner). Je vous conseille de diner sur place en tribune. De votre table vous voyez très bien les courses et vous pouvez parier depuis votre table comme au PMU à partir d'1 euro. Personnellement ce fut un grand moment en famille, à vivre 1 fois si on séjourne dans cette superbe île qu'est l'Irlande.

Race times vary depending on the night and type of meeting. Gates usually open 18:30, but it's always best to phone, email or check their website in advance of your chosen dates.
