Serving the prerequisite perfect pint of Guinness, Fishermans was this years winner!

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!

After getting settled in, our amazing hosts (Tony and Iris) recommended The Dew Drop Inn for our dinner. We stopped in and were seated promptly. The location was a 5 minute walk from where we were staying, and is absolutely cozy and lovely inside. They also have a patio (where we sat the next night!) We ordered: The fish and chips, confit of duck, and sticky toffee pudding for dessert. Let me tell you, we eat a lot of fish and chips. We also travelled all over Ireland (and Scotland) for a month. The Dew Drop Inn is tied for the BEST fish and chips we've ever eaten. (The other location is the Dingle Ahoy! cart/window in Dingle.) They were absolutely perfect. Crisp, lots of fish, well seasoned. The chips were a revelation as well. I may well be ruined for mushy peas for life, because these were exquisate. Also...the confit of duck was SO good, we decided to come back the next day and order that again!! The second night we were there, I sadly don't recall exactly what we had, but I believe it was a potato soup, and seabass. They were all delicious. We honestly wished we had more time in the area, and part of the reason was to try more food and drinks here!!! The cocktails and beer were grand, and the service was absolutely perfect. We absolutely plan to return to Ireland, and to stay with the same B&B hosts (I want them to adopt us, they were that incredible), so we will absolutely be returning to The Dew Drop Inn.

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.

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.

Now that takes some beating. McEvoys is one of those places that is just made for one of those ultra-rare-not-a-cloud-in-the-sky days. Set right on the canal just outside of Celbridge is this gorgeous pub. Full of walkers who have come along the canal on a stroll with their dogs plus lots of locals and even some lucky houseboat owners. The mood is always friendly and jovial, with an atmosphere that's second to none. Here you will find: - A pre-pint walk along the canal - A load of benches with a view of the boats and the water - A super cosy and comfy bar inside if it gets a tad chilly in the evening (you know it will!) - A great pint of the black stuff - A dog friendly bar To be honest, whether it's raining or shining, I'd still recommend this spot. Gwan the outskirts!

And let me tell you, the lamb was phenomenal. Best dish I had on my Ireland vacation. Super tender meat that was perfectly complimented by the root vegetables and mashed potatoes. I ate that dish CLEAN. My friend ordered the fish and chips, and asked if there was any way she could get mashed potatoes instead of fries because she isn't into too much fried food. The restaurant was very accommodating. My friend is also an Ironman and we found out that our bartender was also one as well! They have live music on the weekends I believe.
