I agree that the harriers is a large kip!I like O'deas in portarlington very nice place altogether.

Toulouse

In Portlaoise, it's Delaneys all the way! Deadly pub

Gearoid (Butch) Horan's in Mountmellick is fairly decent or failing that, Dempsey's, especially when the Lush FM lads are in.

o'deas is **** try the after dark in port out the back they have all leather couchs and if you sit in them their so nice you won't want to get out of there, the beers nice enough the live music is good most of the time and the female talent is ****ing unreal.

Reggioemilia

The Dublin Bar in Portarlington located on the main street isn't too bad very lively at the weekends and has live music fri and sat night beer is not bad and is only 2.50 during big matches
talent is not too bad either:ninja:

ratman

lots of muppets in there though:ninja:

Reggioemilia

Not too bad in the dublin bar.
Great music at the weekend and 'pluck the duck' are on this saturday night.
they are excellent worth going in for

The Dead Mans Inn, Ballyfin.

Very Professional.

Sure it only had a mens bathroom up to a few year's ago (ladys were directed outside) but its such a great pub.

I used to love the tack room during lunch. A nice pint and a game of pool.

Lads anyone been to Dan & Mollys in Ballyboy near Kilcormack in offaly what a great pub its a tiny little tatch pub with great guinness man you havent lived untill you have had a session here. Is there anyone from this area in offaly.

If you're ever in Banagher (around 8 miles from Birr, tis big with the tourists), pop into Houghs pub (red facia, covered in ivy, beer barrels strewn about, mangy dogs running in and out, you know the type) - around 9 in the evening, this mental one and her band play trad music for the tourists...its one of those experiences that have to be seen to be believed.

Nice pints tho

that dan and mollys place is cool indeed.... i was there last week or so.... a thatched roof!!! how cute..... locals stare though...... i went for a walk and had a chat with a lovely cow in a field....

Raynors in Athlone has to be up high on the list. It's a victim of it's own success though. Never enough seats at the weekend. The Female talent is absolutely unbelievable. (especially if one sits under the stairs ) And the music and craic upstairs is always good. Tack room and Castle Inn are good spots too.
And of course we can't forget Brownes of Moate. Underage drinking-capital of the world, and an ideal place for a pint while wating for Silvers, sorry, "Club S" to open.

Pubs in Portarlington

Anvil Inn: Great pub, best beer in town, always a nice crowd aswell.
After Dark: Another good pub - good for live music.
The Continental: Not bad - alterntive to the 2 above.
Weighbridge: Nice pub - only for a quiet pint though.

Pubs in Tullamore:

Brewery Tab: Grat pub - a bit small but always good
No. 1: Good spot also.
Bridge House - not too bad either - though past it's best i'd say.

Stiltskin

Ramsbottoms in Portlaoise is mobbed on Thursday nights.
Guy with a guitar and a good atmosphere.

pclancy

In Portlaoise theres a little known spot called Little Havana. Its above Delaneys off-licence on main st, most people think its just a wine bar but actually its a gorgeous place, very well done out, SAVAGE MUSIC, cocktails, pitchers of beer, live music and theres a really nice crowd that drink there. Definatly recommended.

mickeyboymel

The Temple Bar in Mullingar- every Wed night, Lightning Strikes do a residency, free before 10.30, always great crack!

kaimera

O'Gormans in Kilminchy Village. beside the chinese place there.

very nice place...some nice staff working there too

jill_valentine

Ita's in Fore, which has to be seen to be believed. The freezer is the size of a Volvo and has the capacity of a shoebox, and the whole place smells like tractor. Yeah baby...

Caffreys in Oldcastle is fantastic as well.

Headcase

in Tullamore:

Brewery Tap is a great spot, as is Dempsey's. #1 is **** and the bridge house.
DeBruins isn't bad.

In Kilcormac:
have to go with TomTom's pub Feighrey's, nice black stuff! Dooley's good to.

Dan & Molly's is legendary!

Bu

Napper Tandys is a nice enough pub in stradally or bar mondays is fairly good in portlaoise

p.s Pedigree is just a big farm shed but a good laugh. they should get heaters though

daosulli

Nuts Corner ( Athlone ) I think the name says it all

orangerooster

Butches in mountmellick cause of the sound barkeeps and mad twelve hour football blitzes
