    I'm from near Athboy but live in Galway, depends on your age but my favourite spot in Athboy is Carty's good food good live music and a cool bar.

    Cartys would be the best place for grub IMO. For drink in general, Athboy has a great selection of pubs.

    Daly's is a bit rough around the edges but the food is very nice and tasty. Have to say that Carty's is spot on for food too. The Darnley does a very nice evening bar menu. Steak Diane is delish

    Ps Welcome to Athboy hope you enjoy living here

    I recommend Molly's Kitchen at the back of McElhinney's for breakfast, lunches and beverages. A great place to meet for a coffee.

    Fagans is the best pub for a game of pool anyway.

    Fagans is great from the point of view that it's a real regulars pup. The owners are very nice and friendly. Whenever the father in law is up for a visit we will always venture to Fagans for a few and there is always a bit of banter going on

    Have to disagree with your view on Callaghan's; Pat's a legend.
