Football (soccer), rugby and Gaelic football and hurling are the main events which get the blood and the beer flowing in Dublin. Lansdowne Road on the south of the city is for soccer and rugby, whilst over on the northside of the city, Croke Park is home to Gaelic football and hurling.

Around Croke Park
Not too familiar with this area, but I do know that Quinn's in Drumcondra is one of the main spots before and after a match. In town, Cassidy's in Camden Street and Copperface Jacks are also well known GAA watering holes.

Here's a site on GAA pubs with far more information than I can provide.
