If you fancy a little home-from-home, here’s where to find some of the most popular Irish bars in the Alps:
O’Sharkeys in Alpe d’Huez, France
The most popular St Paddy’s day and has Kilkenny on tap if you’re tired of Guinness.
Pub Irlandais in Les Gets, France
Karine brews several of their own specials, at the only craft microbrewery in Les Gets. Come for the live music on Thursday nights.
The Three Tells in Interlaken, Switzerland
Happy hour includes two-for-one homebrew, which is a welcome saving in a pricey ski resort!
O’Malleys in Niederau, Austria
Live music and a happy hour that goes on for three. O’Malley’s is probably the most fun après ski bar in town.
Goalies in Selva, Italy
If you’re looking for a super-trad Irish pub with rock, country, blues and Irish music and a pint of plain, Goalies has been one of Italy’s most famous for over a decade.
Paddy McGinty’s in Sauze d’Oulx, Italy

O’Flannigans in Kitzbuhel, Austria
A popular sports bar and live band venue.
Munster Bar in Chamonix, France
If the person serving your ebony nectar absolutely must hail from Dublin, the Munster is the bar for you. And at barely an hour’s drive from Geneva airport, you can be door-to-door from the mother city to here before last orders.
The Deby in Arinsal, Andorra
Run by ski coach brothers Darin and Dean, you’ll find yourself projected onto the screen here if you managed to fully send it as jerry of the day on the slopes.
O’Sullivans in Meribel, France
Frequented by Irish band The Elements, O’Sullivans is a fairly wild fusion of apres ski mayhem and youthful Irish charm. Wear green on St Paddy’s Day for the chance of a free shot of Jameson!
