What was really annoying was there were a few blue bottles flying around the place! So be warned and bring a fly swat with you!!! Plenty of nicer places to go for lunch in the area!

Parking is limited and it seems that most of the village uses the bar as its "local" resulting in slightly cramped conditions as the night progresses. Ample outdoor seating and a covered area which is ideal for any smokers in your party. Certainly would eat here again - but unlikely to unless staying in the hotel again.

You can safely presume then that you'll find a fine pint of the black stuff here without any doubts! Arthur's bar is my personal favorite pub here in Leixlip, great location and atmosphere. Indoor and outdoor seating is available and there is frequently live music. Would recommend for tourists to stop in for a cup of tea/coffee during the day or a drink in the evening and soak up the history behind this bar. Check their website for more information.

Very cute pub, nice area, parking lots close by. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The potato skins were delightfully different to the american style we are used to.

Absolutely one of the worst meals I've ever eaten. I rarely give a bad review but honestly I must…read morewarn other folks about this place. My friend and I ordered the burger. It arrived looking very 'gray' , rubbery, dense, and completely tasteless - it was obviously a pre-cooked something that had been thrown in the microwave. Lettuce was soggy and the tomato was not fresh. Lots of money wasted on an awful meal that we couldn't even manage to gag down. Sadly the waitress was not at all attentive. Had to wave her down for any service even though the place was very slow. Not good-wasted money in this economy is sad.

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.

On a sunny Sunday afternoon it is the ideal place to relax, have a pint in the sunshine and get some good mummy style dinner from the Carvery. My fav is the roast beef with tons of mash and cabbage. If you are not in the mood for Carvery, they also offer Bar food. The Sandwiches are nice (especially the trippel decker Club Sandwich) but the other dishes on the menu are nothing extraordinary and something on the slightly bland site. If you are in the mood for a pint on a sunny day and look for a pub with great outdoors space, this is where you should go if you are near Clonee.

I also appreciated the fact that a waiter was able to adjust tables to seat our large party and everyone that waited on us was very kind. It's a good spot and if you're in the area like we were I recommend ! The location is also nice and I love how it's decked out with a lot of old and local bar and brewery signage.
