Get Directions Ask Our TeamOur Take on Saint Martin's Urban Irish
Saint Martin's Urban Irish sits on a small square facing the Abadia de San Martin church, a two minute walk off Calle San Vicente between Plaza de la Reina and Plaza del Ayuntamiento. You will not find a better positioned sports pub in the old centre, and 247 Valencia lists it among the city's reference traditional pubs.
The formula is honest: several rooms of pub furniture, six HD screens running Sky, and staff who switch to English without blinking, per the Tripadvisor consensus.
Reading the Room
The pub spreads across multiple rooms, so you choose your own pressure level. The front room and terrace face the church and suit a slow afternoon pint; the back rooms hold the screens and the noise on match days.
Tripadvisor reviewers single out the seating variety, inside and out, as the reason groups settle here over the single room pubs nearby.
What to Order First
Who Shows Up, and When
Expect expats and traveling fans for Premier League slots, a Spanish crowd for La Liga nights, and tourists wandering in from the Plaza de la Reina route all afternoon. Live music slots into the calendar on quieter nights, per reviewer reports.
For a derby or a Champions League night, arrive 45 minutes before kickoff. The screens have seats; the seats have a queue.
