One of the highlights of our trip to Ireland was Fergie's Pub and Bed and Breakfast. We ended up…read morestopping there unplanned, having stayed too late at the Hill of Tara. Paulie and Fergie were as welcoming as can be, and we ended up playing Bingo with what had to be the entire town in the bar on a Thursday evening. The food at the pub was wonderful, the room was warm and comfortable with ample free parking in the back, and there was a full Irish breakfast waiting for us in the morning! It was a really, really lovely time and one of our best memories of Ireland.

Tonight is our first night in Ireland, and we are staying at the Bothar B&B. Upon recommendation of…read morethe hostess, we walked here with the intent to have a pint with dinner. We were surprised to be offered a free pint since Guinness was having a promotion to sample their new lager. Yes, Guinness has a lager! I ordered the roast beef evening special, and for €11.50, couldn't beat it! The meat was a little dry and the gravy was scarce, but they included various greens and quick service. The environment is very relaxing, and we were welcomed even though we showed up near closing. Recommend for a good dinner for a weary tourist!!

Walked in around 830pm and there were plenty of tables available! Got seated immediately! My…read moreboyfriend and I came on a good day bc they also offered us a complimentary Guinness Lager! Ordered the 10oz sirloin steak, came with mushrooms and onions, mashed potatoes and gravy, and fries in a separate bowl! It was amazing and I could barely finish it, had some help with my boyfriend haha. My plate came out to be €21.50. My boyfriend had the roast of the day, which was for today, roast beef! Came with bread crumbs, similar to stuffing, carrots, 3 servings of mashed potatoes, collared greens; his came out to €11.50 Service was great, and each server made sure we were doing well if we ever needed anything! Definitely family friendly and would highly suggest checking this place out!

Just a stones throw from Trim Castle, Franzinis is a family-friendly restaurant that offers some of…read morethe largest portions you'd find...it's Trim's version of the Cheesecake Factory! My Trim friends go here every Sunday afternoon with their families and I can see why. The portions are huge...the Ribs JR starter could have easily been a main. The menu is rather expansive and covers everything from Italian pasta, to French favourites like Duck a l'orange, to American Buffalo wings to Asian-inspired dishes like hoisin chicken. Yet despite this globe trotting offering, the food is actually quite good. Service is friendly and very quick. And did I mention that the portions are ginormous?!? The early bird menu is great value too at under 20 euros for a starter and main. I've been twice now and definitely would go back next time I'm in Trim.

If you want to experience a true Victorian pub in Dublin, The Stag's Head is a beautiful place to…read morestart. Tucked down Dame Court just off Dame Street, The Stag's Head is one of those rare pubs that feels genuinely historic rather than designed to look old. The building dates to the late 1800s, and the interior retains the ornate features of a classic Victorian "gin palace"--rich carved wood, stained glass, brass rails, and a warm, glowing bar that feels wonderfully preserved. We stopped in around 4:30 pm, which turned out to be a perfect time to visit. There were other patrons enjoying drinks and food, but the atmosphere was calm and relaxed rather than loud or rowdy. It felt like the kind of place where locals drop in for a quiet pint on their way home from work before the evening crowd arrives. The staff were excellent--friendly, welcoming, and attentive without being intrusive. The food was very good (we failed to take photos because we were too busy enjoying it). As a vegetarian, I was thrilled to see the Impossible burger front and center on their menu; it was deliciously prepared with guacamole on a brioche bun, and not an afterthought on the menu. My companions both chose the Irish Beef Burger, and said it was excellent. One thing to know: this is a traditional Victorian pub, so cocktails aren't really part of the program. Expect beer, wine, or spirits rather than mixed drinks. In a place like this, that actually feels exactly right. Other pubs do serve mixed drinks. Between the history, the ambience, the quality of the food, and the wonderful staff, The Stag's Head is the kind of place that makes you feel like you've experienced a real piece of Dublin.

Sometimes it's the food. Sometimes the setting. Today, it was Mike, our server, who made this a…read morefive star experience. He's worked there more than 20 years and had us thoroughly entranced with his personality and charms. Oh yes, there was food: a vegetarian boxtie and a corned beef boxtie. These were more like stews than a classic boxtie. We polished the plates off and finished with dessert. The toffee pudding was perfect; surprisingly the housemade ice cream sandwich had almost no flavor and was disappointing. The order of three Irish breads was a good appetizer and helped us understand the different styles in the country. The ambiance here is not classic Irish pub, which was good for dinner. !:)

The bread and butter were also delicious although every place had amazing bread. we didn't really get to interact with the server, but the bartender did give us a good intro to the beers that are available that day

Parked ourselves at the bar this place was very cosy, open fire to the end of the room made this place ubber cosy. There was plenty of locals here, place had a really good atmosphere.
