When I went to Tullamore recently, I have to admit that my expectations were not terribly high…read more Tullamore was not where we had intended going to at all, but we had cycled an extremely circuitous route from Dublin, it was almost getting dark and Tullamore was the only town on the map of any size within about 15 miles, so we landed up there at about half eight last Thursday without any fore-knowledge of the place. I had made a booking with Loughney's only minutes before on the road from Kilbeggan, and I was seeking any sort of B&B-type place to lay the head for the night. All the other B&Bs were full (this happened to be the week of the Tullamore Show), and Loughrey's was €35 per night per person, so I wasn't in any position to argue. It emerged that Loughrey's was a guesthouse rather than a B&B, and it was nicer than a lot of hotels that I have stayed in. The rooms were nice and clean, tea and coffee making facilities, spacious bathroom, individual bath-mats - really nice. The bar downstairs seemed pretty quiet, but then again this was very early on a Thursday evening, so maybe it picks up later in the night. The staff were pretty helpful, arranging a place for us to lock-up our bikes and all that. There is a nightclub at the back but it only opens at the weekend, so we were unable to experience it's undoubtedly manifold delights. We had to go elsewhere for our nocturnal entertainment (of which more later). The one thing about the otherwise lovely accomodation in Loughrey's is that the pub is on the main street, so there are loads of trucks thundering past all morning, and also the place is always roasting, the corridors and everything. Still, if you go to bed fluthered (as we all did) you should be alright. When we descended the next day to get our complementary breakfast (served til half past eleven for those of you that are interested), we experienced the low point of our stay at Loughrey's. There was only one waitress, and she took an awful long time to bring us our cooked breakfasts. And she only brought us our tea ages after the fries, by which time we were all thoroughly thirsty and irritable. And our toast was brought over by a cleaning lady, who seemed to have been press-ganged into serving duties by the harried waitress, and who didn't seem to comprehend our requests for butter, which arrived even later still. Plus, I had to ask on three separate occasions for a glass of water. I mean, jeez louise! Still, breakfast aside, Loughrey's is a pleasant and inexpensive place to stay if you visit the surprisingly enjoyable town of Tullamore.

I was rather speechless when I walked in to Loughrey's because inside is all modern with good low volume music playing. There is a night club (entrance around the corner) if that is your thing but the bar itself is perfect for a chat even on a Saturday night. There are even a few decent beers available and I was glad to have some Paulaner on tap. They also had the new Smirnoff €5 mojito machine. If you get hungry there is a Thai restaurant right in the pub!! We both loved it.

Disappointed with our first drinking venue in Tullamore (see my review for The Bridge House), we…read morewandered along the main street, looking for an old man pub in which to have a quiet couple of pints before bed, as it had been a very taxing day. However, as we walked along the main street, there seemed to be loads of people in glad rags walking around the place. Intrigued, we headed into a pub named Cosgroves, which seemed to promise a quiet evening in pleasant surroundings. Now, Cosgroves looks very much the old man pub from outside. I don't intend the above statement as any sort of pejorative; I for one feel that old man pubs occupy an important niche in Ireland's pub scene. But Cosgroves didn't really fit into this categorisation. Inside, in the sedate old man-esque surroundings, were loads of young people. There was only one group of people over twenty-five (and they were only about thirty). We sat down with our inexpensive pints (€4) and considered what an unusual place Tullamore is. While giving every appearance of a small market town, Tullamore seemed to actually be the midlands equivalent of Ibiza, with masses of revellers thronging every licenced establishment in the town. And this was a Thursday! So after two rounds of very pleasant pints, we revised our plans. We decided to find whatever nightclub was drawing all these debauchees and to have a wild one. Sure we were on our holidays after all. So, Cosgroves: pleasant little pub, unexpectedly happening clientele.

We liked Wolftrap so much we went back…read more Shortly after arriving on holiday in Tullamore we stopped into Wolftrap for a pint. The pub has a very good beer and spirit selection and the staff was very friendly. The next day we decided to return for a bite of dinner and discovered it wasn't a one-time thing. The employees are quite nice and provide service with a smile. As for the food, my wife rather enjoyed her sandwich and the chicken curry dish I ordered was very tasty (just too large -- I recommend getting the half-sized plate). Those visiting Tullamore can find a warm welcome at Wolftrap.
