Tully’s, Kinvara
Roadside Tavern, Lisdoon
The Hideout, Croker
Half Barrell + Philly Ryan’ Nenagh
Is the Hideout the one that’s like the pub in Trainspotting?
Yep, a glorious kip…

The curragower, Limerick
The Bodhran, Cork
Freenhys, Galway
A great pub Mick. Under new management who are appear to be fierce good business people who will bring on Kinvara in leaps and bounds.
Joe Mac’s in Louisburg is worth a visit.
How is Kinvara, my ancestral home, coming along during the recession, KP?

Reillys, Baggot St.
McGrattans, Baggot St.
Birchalls, Ranelagh
French’s, Gorey
Antique Tavern, Enniscorthy
Stamps, Enniscorthy
Yes.
Very different clientele there on the weekend though.
Kinvara is tipping along SS**. THe Ó’hEidhin’s came through tougher times than we’ll ever see!
We have gone from having 11 pubs to only having 8 now… Winkles, The Ould Plaid Shawl and Flatleys (opens on a rare occassion) are no longer with us.
This is the remaining list of pubs… Tullys, M’Asal Beag Dubh, Conoles, Keoghs, Sextons, Connollys, Greenes, Pierhead.
We have two ghost estates, with about 8 empties in one and 4 in the other. A few big lads got burned badly. Alot of people paying big mortgages around Kinvara as sites went as dear as 200K in the boom. Commute times form Kinvara are upto an hour to Galway city centre at peak times so Kinvara aint the dream that some people thought it was going to be.
However all that said… there is no finer village in the country! Just this summers evening as I passed Mick the Thatchers house, the castle approachs you slowly and the sea spreads out to the right with town glimmering in the background and the Burren looking on… you felt all the good things on life well up inside you. http://g.co/maps/5jq9n
Flynn’s Carrick on Shannon
The Summit Howth

Palace Bar, Fleet st.

I always thought the roads in Galway were insane, I still make mistakes on the myriad of roundabouts on the way in, I’m not surprised it’s an hour into town from Kinvara to be honest.
I trust the latest tenants have maintained the roof of Dunguaire Castle in the condition it was in when we left it.
