Seeing as I've only just moved to Navan, I tag along with the prospective father-in-law to The Round O!

My Local has to be "Harry Grooms"or "Bridie Macs" in Drogheda

And the tops are low and the skirts are high!

O'Shea's or DeBrùn in Balbriggan....although the latter is pretty expensive with not much of an atmosphere.

Never been a fan of the bruns to be honest!.....pub sticks out like a sore thumb compared to the others!went there during the day on a Saturday with a few mates to watch a match and they wouldnt serve us because we werent wearing nice clobber!....bunch of twats!Used to work there when it was Ennis's and hated it!only was there for a couple of weeks!

I like O'Sheas though!one of me locals!Usually go to McCormacks for some matches and the Harvest aint bad either!

how is it that all the pubs back home are always jammers?
mustang sally's in cavan can get wedged. downstairs in the
sibín on a sat night is packed while those with a head for
heights can go upstairs and get a seat?

$ my first post ever, ****e eh? $

The phoenix in Dundalk would be my local. Not so much these days but i do love the pub.

The landlady is a bit intimating but after you get to know her she becomes like a second Mum
They always go mad on decorations for different times of the year. Around Halloween the place was like a bat cave with bats witches and all manner of decoration hag inn from every nook and cranny in the place.

As the cheers song goes "it’s always nice to go were everyone knows your name" and after you have been a regular in this pub for a while everyone will. There is something nice about walking into a pub and the barman shouting usual Opr is it

All these old stories that surround it from years gone by also add to the character. Like supposedly the landlady who owned the pub before the one now wouldn't let you order a single drink you always had to get a round

It did get a very good write up in the Sunday world recently from that pub spy thingy which has lead to it being very commercially successful while I am glad to see this it means the place it always way to full at the weekends.

Still if you are passing through Dundalk anytime during one of the holiday’s ......... check it out just to see the decoration!!

Dr. Dre

I used to be a regular in there too, I mean all the friggin' time - 4-5 times a week, used to have great craic with her. Then she refused someone in my company one day and I vowed never to return, which I haven't (3yrs+ now)
I moved across the road instead.
I'm stuborn like that ;-)

Have to agree with O'Shea's good atmosphere, always nice to have some pooltables too. Used to like Ennis' but DeBruns belongs in Dublin City not Balbriggan.

My boyf works in The Phoenix - lovely pub - she really goes all out to decorate it - it gets better every year! Did you see what the prizes are in the christmas draw? Hilarious!

dundealgan

Toales in crowe street (with d' baz, great dj hehe) or oscars in park street.

Unfortunately not 'mature' enough for wrinkly or amber, but refuse to make do with 'victims' (vicars, for any outsiders reading this) enter at your peril!!

Although it will be interesting to see what this new place 'sky' in the carnbeg will be like!!

jack shictt

Atomic Pineapple

Indigo in ardee, before heading on to somewhere else for the night club

Merrick

Spirit Store in Dundalk. Tis the place to be!

mickymg2003

Usually Indigo in Ardee, Its the lesser of 2 evils, either there or the filth ridden sesspool that is The Castle Inn. Theres nowhere else in the town with good bands.

Toales on Crowe Street in Dundalk ftw. You won't get a better pint of stout(which is a bitch because you always want another one)

Was in Brubakers again yesterday. I have to say I really like it. The pints of Guinness were fine albeit 20c more than most pubs in Dundalk.

tIS hImSelF

the beerkeeper got to be the best pub in dundalk

why....1) Great selection of Beer (over 100 beers...eemmm Hoegaarden)
2) Comfy
3) great crowd during the week
4) great talent at weekend
5) No scumbags
6) No kids (very strict with ID)
7) Class staff (but can be a bit slow at times)
8) No TV or Jukebox
9) Deadly background music
10) No Guinness you got to try the O'Hara's

If anywhere, its Ryan's in Navan, or Molloys which is good to go to for a few cheap drinks!

20 Times 20 Times

My local has been the avenue inn for years and im slightly worried about the sale of it , I know that colm kehoe is Very interested in the pub and am worried that he will change the "local" feel to the avenue inn.

For me, it was Enisses in the good old days, chasing the spanish ladies, then o sheas for a while, then tried the Skerries o'sheas and The Coast too, where i bagged the missus

More recent years it has been back to just de bruns up until recently, but now its between de bruns and harvest (worked there for 6 yrs) de bruns is nice, admittedly o'sheas is great and only place to go for a messy night, cos you can burn up the dancefloor in the after dark!! but sometimes the place is too jammers and the music is *ALWAYS TOO LOUD*

So Im sticking to the harvest and de bruns, as for it being too classy??? Nah, im a brigganer born and bred, theres nothing too classy for the brig
