Coppers... Where you're guaranteed to meet a Patrick Swayze.
Coppers has become known over the years as a culchie haunt or as we prefer call it, a Country Club. However the third floor bar is different, if Twitter is anything to go by, it is just for GAA county players.
In the greatest display of social media PR we’ve ever seen, messages of support flooded in to Coppers Twitter account from all over the country… actually from one GAA star player from every county.
Take a look at this for yourself… 10 counties represented; we suspect the other 22 feel slightly shafted. Free drinks at the new bar for these lads, no doubt.
Dublin's Bernard Brogan kicks off the well wishes...
Best of luck to @CopperFaceJacks with their new bar opening tonight, now there are 3 floors of madness! Looking forward to checking it out!

As the longest serving senior Gaelic player, we'll hazard a guess and say that Sligo's Eamonn O' Hara had his fair share of night in Coppers.
Best of luck Cathal - 3rd step @CopperFaceJacks #morespacemorefun

And our JOE bro, Sean Nolan tells it like it is. Kieran McGeeney left out in the cold again, as Cathal Jackson raises the bar... we'll get our coats.
Think @CopperFaceJacks just nudged past Kieran McGeeney as most tweeted about topic by #GAA players this week

Folks, if you do venture to check out what the new bar has to offer, enjoy yourselves... We might even see you there.
Cathal, feel free to send us the coveted Coppers Gold Cards, we'll put them to good use, we promise.
