Charleville is a small town in north County Cork, about 58km, or an hours drive to the north of…read moreCork City. On the way to Limerick on the N22, myself & 3 companions felt hungry, parked up along the wide main street, and walked in search of a nice pub that did food. Oh I'm good at finding the nicest pub in town, and though to be fair, we didn't actually go in the 3 or 4 others that we we ruled out, (always a tragic thing to pass a pub without going in), Geary's beat the competion for general welcoming ambience from the exterior. It's a nice sprawly pub, roomy, pleasant, really inviting atmosphere. Having ascertained there was food on, we walked through the busy front, bar to a more open plan area beyond that led out onto beer garden. We parked ourselves In front of a glass case on the wall containing an old rifle, and other items, and straight away a friendly lady came over & took our order for food & drinks. The items in the case turned out to be memorabilia from the Irish war of independence. The effects of one Michael Geary a local commander, including his so called 'Black & Tan Medal', awarded to IRA members who participated in the Irish War of Independence. As well as his Sinn Féin membership certificate. After a very reasonable 10-15mins the food arrived, it was all very well organized. Being a vegitarian I'm usually quIte cynical about choice on offer, but this was great. I was well pleased with the lovely asparagus risotto. The others had a thai chicken curry which they very much enjoyed. We all thought the food the best value & quality that we'd had in any pub in Ireland over a six week visit. Nice pub, good atmosphere, friendly & welcoming, and more than worth stopping off for a drink & a bite if you're on you way through.

One of the better night clubs I've been in…read more Review may have a beer google taint on it but I'll try my best. Entry is all very well managed and you then go through a crude courtyard where all the smokers are penned in. On entry the place was full but comfortable to move around in. Decor is Devil based and very well done. 4 bars and 2 dance floors so getting drink and a space for a boogie is no problem (not that dancing is my thing!). My kind of music, more dance remix than main stream. Seems to be the only decent club for miles around and have regular Big DJ's and promote also on the national Irish radio. Overall I'd go back.
