The Donkey Goes Global - Hamish is still going!

At this stage, Hamish O’Connor has taken the Donkey through Amsterdam, Vienna, Bratislava, Belgrade, Montenegro, Albania, Croatia, Italy, Switzerland, Portugal, Spain, Poland, Ukraine, Hungary, Bosnia and plenty more in between. And he’s not finished yet.

Munich, Amsterdam, Scotland, England and Wales are still to come.
Safe to say this might be the most travelled Donkey T-shirt we’ve ever had.
Fair play, Hamish 👏

Gone grazing for the day 🫏. The Roaring Donkey is closed today, Tuesday 20 October, while we get a few jobs done behind the scenes. We’ll be back open as normal tomorrow, Wednesday, and ready for a proper roar again.

And of course, our Wednesday night Trad & Folk session kicks off from 9pm.

Hollyz fans, take note!
They’re usually with us on the last Sunday of the month, but October is doing things a little differently. The Hollyz will not be playing on 25th October. They’ll be back at The Donkey on Sunday, 1st November instead.
So move the date in the diary, round up the gang and we’ll see you then.

The Donkey Goes Global — Disneyland Paris! 🇫🇷
Plenty to see in Disneyland Paris, but Adam only had one thing on his mind.
Find the mouse. Ask about the pints. Good to see priorities are still in order.

Munster take on Racing 92 this Saturday at 8pm, and naturally we’ll be following every decision very closely from the bar. Pints, predictions and plenty of completely unsolicited coaching advice.

Find us at The Roaring Donkey, 6 Orilia Terrace, Top of the Hill, Cobh, Co. Cork.

Joe Wilson was flying the Donkey flag at the famous windmills in Mykonos, proudly sporting his Roaring Donkey T-shirt along the way.

From the Top of the Hill in Cobh to the Greek islands... the Donkey gets around alright.🍻

Thanks for sending us the snap, Joe!

From Top of the Hill, Cobh to Eugene, Oregon, Michael T. McNally made sure the Roaring Donkey was well represented on the other side of the Atlantic 🇺🇸

And where did the hoodie end up? Outside a pub, of course.

Turns out the Donkey is just as good at finding pubs abroad as it is at home.
