Tonight…read morewe even had great live entertainment by an Irish Band, one playing the tin whistle, one playing the banjo, one playing the guitar, and lastly one member of the band playing the Bodhran ( Irish drum). Now onto the food, we had a set menu as we were part of a group of 41 dining here from a bus tour of Ireland. I had the Hake which was lightly fried and came with a creamy sauce. It was decent. My girlfriend has the Irish beef stew and we had many beef stews on our 8 day tour of Ireland and this was not one of the better ones. My girlfriend and I agreed it tasted like it came out of a Campbell soup can. The mussel appetizer was in a creamy sauce, the mussels were rather tiny and it's my preference not to have them in a buttery, creamy sauce. I would always prefer a garlicky sauce but I believe these were served mostly in a white wine and butter sauce. To each their own If that's the flavor profile you prefer. Now the desserts were interesting. It sounded like the sherry fruit dessert pictured was a mix of gelatin and fruit and some small bits of cake mixed in. It honestly wasn't my fav but it sounded like it was an old recipe that ran in the family of one of the owners. I like that they are daring and put unique items on the dessert menu, again just wasn't my flavor profile. Lastly, my girlfriend got the pavlova, which is a meringue and whipped cream concoction with fruit and I really loved this unique dessert. I wouldn't come back personally but I read somewhere it was voted pub of year in 2018. I will be unloading a plethora of reviews from Ireland in the coming days so please follow me if you would like to read more. As always people SYOY!!!!

I went for a cup of seafood chowder to start, followed by the steak sandwich. The chowder was just okay in my opinion. A bit too salty and not as thick as I like it. However, I may be a chowder snob. The steak sandwich in the other hand was unreal! Chunky chips, thick sliced bread and the most tender cut of steak. Perfect for a sandwich. I engulfed all the food. The chips were a winner. Fureys tends to be a busy spot, so you may have to wait to be seated. The staff are amazing and handle your wait really well. We were seated and taken care of really quickly. Definitely worth a visit if you are passing by.

But just beware the few wasps which hover about outside and seem to be attracted by nearby apple trees and the scent of fruity cocktails! I visited in August 2017, as part of a Carlingford Mystery Cocktail Tour, and amongst our party of sixteen ladies, for most, this pub was a firm favourite. It was an extremely enjoyable stop during the tour. Will definitely be returning.

Was kinda empty when we arrived, but both guys working were super friendly and, after learning we were from the US, were quick to adapt the conversation. One has a good friend that moved to Indiana, the other was a huge fan of Andrew Luck (Our quarterback for the Colts). We talked beer, American sports, and they could not have been friendlier. After I finished my Guinness I was hankering for some whisky. One of the guys showed me the local stuff and I, being intrigued, ordered a shot. He came back and warned me it was 11 euros. Omg how nice was that? So I ordered another Guinness. My wife doesn't drink beer, so they made her a Sex on the Beach cocktail that she loved. Around 10 a two man band started playing music. They were great. One of them seemed to be playing percussion on a wood box. We had never seen anything like it. I had two other bars on the list to visit tonight so we left prematurely. The second stop absolutely sucked. The bartender had no personality and wouldn't even consider mixing a drink for my wife. I wish we had stayed at McPhails all night.

Very, very cozy pub in front and a larger bar area in back where live music is frequent. They have a good-sized beer garden with heater lamps as well. For the ladies, there is a hair straightener in the women's toilets that you can use for €2. I did not use it, but I have to say I haven't seen such amenities in a pub before. Definitely a place worth checking out.

The atmosphere was perfect! It was early Sunday morning, and there were already a few locals inside having their morning beer and reading the newspaper. I did some exploring because it looks so small on the outside, but you get in, and it just keeps going and going. Looks like they get large crowds during the evenings, and even offer lots of live music and DJs. The bartender was friendly.

So when you pass thru Trim to see the Castle, call in to this gorgeous pub. When you walk in, it is old school classic pub with beautiful woodwork and bar. From there, you can go in the cozy fireplace room that feels and looks great and leads to another cozy area to meet and be with friends. If you like patios, you're at the right place! Step out back and find a covered & climate controlled patio that is huge! They have a large smoking patio area (you can't smoke inside in Ireland either). Thru the patio, you can see a big events room that you can host a reception, party, meeting, whatever. It's been a few months since my last visit, but I've heard they have a new beer garden too! Oh yes, the drinks...the Guinness is perfect. You can get almost any tasty beverage here from a nice bartender. The owner is hands-on and always working to keep this place top notch.

They have carvery and sandwich bar, my husband had Lasagne and wasn't good, he couldn't even finish it, too much bullion in it and I had just a ham & cheese toast, my ones are better. ( so, don't go there for food, drinks only) They also have a beautiful beer garden, very colourful and flowery and loads of seats. Heard they have live music it's quite good. So, I do think this would be one of those good places to go for drinks with friends, probably a late bar.
