A decent night out.
10 races, booked a table and had a great view, waiting staff were very attentive as were the betting staff.
Food / Drink came to circa €75 and there was not much alcohol plus €70 in betting so a not cheap night out.
It was good fun and very enjoyable and something different.

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!

Amazing experience, fantastic night out and we'll definitely be back. The friendliest staff, from the men at the door checking covid pass to the waiters bringing the food, so accommodating. Food was amazing, 10/10. Cant wait to return here soon.

Myself and my partner went to Shelbourne Park stadium a couple of weeks ago for the Winter Racing Festival night. We booked a meal in the restaurant and on arrival our covid certs and back-up ID were checked by friendly staff on the door.
We were then directed to the restaurant and were given a quite nice glass of prosecco each when we entered.
We were led to our table and were very happy with it because it was located where we could see the finish line for the races and also it was adequately distanced from the next table, leaving us feeling satisfied that we were in a safe environment.
The menu was varied and between us we had Toulouse sausage for starters, duck for me and lamb for my partner for the main course and a nice selection of desserts to finish. The food was most enjoyable and we were both very happy with it.
Our drinks were brought to the table and our bets were taken at the table aswell.
The staff were extremely pleasant and overall we thought it was good value.
We would have no hesitation in recommending it as a night out to our friends. We also had a few successful bets, which of course added to our enjoyment!!!

I wouldn't recommend this place for families as in children. It's crowded, no social distance, no mask wearing apart from staff. I was recommended this place but it's a no-no. People were outside protesting over the cruelty to animals involved in the sport. I have just read a leaflet I got and am horrified. Sorry I went.

Extremely rude manager who rolled his eyes when you ask him to repeat while he is behind a glass windows and is wearing a mask. Poor communication about the mandatory main course to buy on top of the 10€ per person already paid (it is not mentioned on the booking email confirmation) and last but not least, 10% extra secretly added to the bill.

This place/track is absolutely top drawer.
The standard of racing especially on a Saturday night is top class.
Track is a credit to groundsmen.
Food to suit all tastes and pockets and a very good tote, and 6 or 7 bookies, you won't see that at many tracks these days.

We took our family to the Shelbourne Greyhound Stadium. There was plenty of room for our family of 10. We took advantage of the meal and ticket combo, it was great since we were on a budget. The place was clean and well maintained. I think it is a great place to bring the family for a nice night out. We would defiantly do it again.

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.

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.

What time is the 3 course meal served for Thursday night Christmas packages? Thanks.

Dublin, Ireland
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

Thank you

During a protest outside the stadium recently they came out with a barbecue and started cooking steaks. I have photo evidence to prove it. A lot of the protestors are veggie or vegan. They don't agree with it

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.

I've got 2 free passes to use before Dec 17. It says I can't go on final nights? When are they? Thanks

Hi Brigid,
I don't think there are any finals nights on in December. However, it would be best to contact the stadium prior to your intended race meeting to avoid any disappoint.

They have Stella on draught (not our usual tipple but the best of what was available - no bud or Heineken or coors on draught - bottles only we think). Also we don't drink Guinness and we can't remember seeing anybody drinking it.
We think the price was 5.50 a pint. Sorry we don't remember as much as we should but we had a great time
