But take the time to go inside this wonderful cozy pub that is clearly loved by its locals. One visit and you'll understand why. Lucky for me, I get to visit Ireland every year and with each new adventure I seek country pubs steeped with history and charm. Serving the prerequisite perfect pint of Guinness, Fishermans was this years winner!

Having lived in Naas most of my life, the move to Newbridge wasn't a big one. Nevertheless, the…read morefirst night out in your new hometown is uncertain. My "début" in Newbridge took place in Johnson's pub on the main street just before the bridge. I stepped into a buzzing, good-humoured, easy-going, good old fashioned Irish watering-hole. The pub was full but not resembling the sardine tins that are the pubs of Naas on a weekend. Everyone seemed in good form and as soon as you were introduced, they were offering to buy you drinks. All ages and types mingled and danced to the fantastic live band. Rubber and friends play in Johnson's every Friday night. They're a jam band consisting of Paul Keogh (Rubber), from the excellent music group King Modo, and a selection of his mates. They played lively Irish songs along with their take on American pop and r&b tunes, each wielding a guitar. Paul's voice on his version of 'Golddigger' is something else! Every so often, someone from the crowd would join the band for a couple of songs as people clapped, danced or swayed on their stools, all sporting big smiles. An Australian friend asked me, "What's the equivalent of Johnson's in Naas?" I didn't have to think long before answering, "There is none." Definitely my new local!

The dark wood table tops and cast iron bases just make me feel grounded. One of the hosts asked if I had a reservation, and I was almost sad because I didn't expect it. She was kind enough to seat me anyway. I don't know her name, but she was lovely, golden hair, and bright green glasses! I was served by Avinash, who had a warm demeanor. My phone was about 20% and he kindly let me charge it; hence why I do not have any photos of the meal :) at the end of the meal, when I asked for an espresso, Avi came back with my phone as well-- a nice touch of remembrance. I had the slow cooked lamb leg, with potatoes, carrots, and rosemary stuffing with a balsamic mint sauce. It was divine. It was my first meal of the day, and I savored every last bite. The atmosphere was just what I needed. 5/5 would return. And did yall know they got first editions of Bam Stoker, Oscar Wilde, and James Joyce??? Sheeesh.

This was a sizable restaurant with an large outdoor seating area. Inside was nicely decorated and busy. I ordered the Seafood chowder that was thick, hot and with nice spice. After two mouthfuls the Corned Beef Rueben came out which made for a difficult decision to eat what first. The corned beef Rueben was ok, not as good as The Temple bar, too dry and a far 10th to my own juicy corned beef. While waiting for the check, I headed to the head to wash up and upon arrival back, my remaining beer was gone and table cleared as they thought I left. I Paid the bill and on my way. Place seems like a great place To hang outside during warmer weather although it seemed the staff was short handed.

Cars were parked all around the attractive, well furnished pub so we feared we wouldn't get a table, but the pub is quite spacious and we were seated immediately. Susan had the fish and chips (of which she is a real fan) and I had the chicken curry. Susan was astounded by the best fish and chips she has ever dined upon and I was pleased/impressed by the quality of the curry. Service was prompt - beer and wine were delivered immediately, our orders came quickly, and we were revisited several times to ensure all of our needs were met. We've been "on the road" in the USA, France, and Italy for the past month and this was the best and most welcoming service we've experienced. The pub was packed by locals of all ages having a wonderful, lively night out. We were both absolutely delighted by the experience and highly recommend a visit when in the area!

I think I showed a little too much interest but hey, all in the name of research... Suddenly, he told me to swing right. I pushed open the door of a place I hadn't even known existed to enter a busy pub with the ubiquitous "Rubber & Friends" belting out the tunes. People chatted animatedly, sang along and danced. Extremely lively for a Sunday night! I felt like I'd been given the password to a secret underworld. A guy who'd been strutting around like a peacock in a Man United jersey "entertained" the crowd from the table-tops. Just as the band were reaching the crescendo of their set, someone knocked over an entire table of drinks and nearly flooded the place. The barmaid muttered, "I'll kill them" before whipping out the mop, then pouring them another... Sunday is definitely the new Saturday!

I wasn't a fan, but the boyfriend loved the Irish coffee. Rich cream on top covered with a few coffee beans, sprinkled with cocoa and filled to the brim. Has a bold, black coffee taste with a hint of whiskey flavor. We tried the recommended pie pie burger and it was excellent! Fluffy fresh bun over a well cooked and rich meat patty, we weren't sure exactly what it was but it had a cheese and ham blend over the burger that came with a flavorful garlic aioli. Large cut potatoes fries that were crispy in the perfect way, and came with a salad that had a dressing on the sweeter side. Duck lovers I can't vogue for you or this duck. I didn't like it, it was very gamey and the skin was thick. It was covered with a bbq like sauce that came with plenty of fresh vegetables and a side of rice. A nice, cheaky place to enjoy a late night meal. Friendly service and American favorites for music to enjoy. However at the end of our visit our waitress clocked out and left us for twenty minutes until we had to ask another server to take our bill.
