Great place for a pint!…read more We were walking around the square in Cahir after checking into our hotel looking for a cool local place to unwind. We came across this gem! We stepped up to the bar and ordered my favorite beer, Carlsberg. I so wish we could buy this at home. I've found one place in Tennessee that carries it on draft sometimes.

They both came out amazing. The portion is huge and the price is fair. I feel like I'm getting such a steal. Definitely come enjoy some delicious food.
