    Disappointed with our first drinking venue in Tullamore (see my review for The Bridge House), we…read morewandered along the main street, looking for an old man pub in which to have a quiet couple of pints before bed, as it had been a very taxing day. However, as we walked along the main street, there seemed to be loads of people in glad rags walking around the place. Intrigued, we headed into a pub named Cosgroves, which seemed to promise a quiet evening in pleasant surroundings. Now, Cosgroves looks very much the old man pub from outside. I don't intend the above statement as any sort of pejorative; I for one feel that old man pubs occupy an important niche in Ireland's pub scene. But Cosgroves didn't really fit into this categorisation. Inside, in the sedate old man-esque surroundings, were loads of young people. There was only one group of people over twenty-five (and they were only about thirty). We sat down with our inexpensive pints (€4) and considered what an unusual place Tullamore is. While giving every appearance of a small market town, Tullamore seemed to actually be the midlands equivalent of Ibiza, with masses of revellers thronging every licenced establishment in the town. And this was a Thursday! So after two rounds of very pleasant pints, we revised our plans. We decided to find whatever nightclub was drawing all these debauchees and to have a wild one. Sure we were on our holidays after all. So, Cosgroves: pleasant little pub, unexpectedly happening clientele.

    two of us visited cosgroves after the dublin v galway relegation game. we were in loughreys earlier…read moreand intended going back there. after two pints we decided to have one of the main meals as it was advertised inside and outside, they were offering a free drink with the main meal for 10 euros so we ordered as this was very good value. when we offered to pay he told us that deal was for weekdays only so no free drink, very clever having that sign outside on sunday after a match in o connor park. i proceeded to tender 10 euro for both dinners. as per deal. his exact words were and i quote, YOU CAN TAKE THAT TENNER AND F**K OFF he is a lucky man, as my friend wanted to do more than remonstrate. i hope to receive an apology from the the owner or group who own this pub. thomas o brien
