    I travelled 400 miles to watch Rainbow girls gig but was asked to leave the bar before they came…read moreon. I admit to being very excited about the prospect of seeing them perform and expressed this by shouting out when I saw them! After about 30minutes waiting at the bar for the backroom to open I was unfortunate enough to have my drink spilled on me by a fellow bar user. I then slipped on the spilled drink and was saved by my loyal companion Wendy and a bar staff member from hitting my head on the floor. Shortly after the fall I was told I had to leave but no explanation was given. I returned there today but was not given an explanation for their actions. I could say all kinds of subjective opinions about their actions but I will stick to the facts, I was asked to leave because I fell on a drink that was spilled upon me. It feels very unfair. Across the road in another pub the customers and staff went to great lengths to reassure me that this is the way of the Greyhound bar. They do not respect their customers and they were rude uncaring and they have no rights to serve alcohol if they don't want their customers to enjoy it.

    The Greyhound Bar isn't just for the high season. It's a local pub where tourists are made welcome…read moreby the friendly and funny manager, Keith. Befriend him and you're guaranteed a good holiday. There is a large smoking section out back with heaters and, what most smoking sections fail to provide, a bar! Non-smokers will hang out here just because. The clientele isn't age-snobby. And the bar staff are a visual treat.

    If you're coming to Ballybunion (Baile an Bhunneanaibhgh), the Railway would be a must, as most of…read morethe locals tend to spend their time in here and they will graciously welcome you to join them in banter and craic. Ballybunion once had a strange, steam-powered monorail that linked the town with Listowel. This place gets especially packed during the 'Listowel Races' in mid-September and it is absolutely brilliant! Here's a little verse from a tune written by Pecker Dunne about his favorite sea town in Ireland: "To take a walk down Main Street, and see my friends from home, Go tell my own true sweetheart, I never more will roam, Go tell the lads I'm coming back--that's where I want to be, in my little Irish home town, Ballybunion by the sea."

    If you're coming to Ballybunion, or Baile an Bhunneanaibhgh, (which I only heard of previously from…read morean old Irish song: "Ballybunion by the sea"), chances are you'd be coming here either for it's wide open sandy beaches or maybe to play golf, as President Bill Clinton did in 1999, (a statue of him further down main street still recalls one of Ballybunion's most memorable days). I was in this in this small coastal village/town, (which is 15km west of Listowel), in 2007 working at the modern hugely impressive, 500 seat 'Tinteán Theatre'. The place has a very impressive number of pubs too, a great number of them with names appealing to golf mad tourists like The Freeway & The Bunker, and of course The Presidents Bar! Oh I sampled them all in the week or so I was here, but the one I remember for it's hospitality & of course good beer, was The Railway. (Ballybunion once had a strange, steam-powered monorail that linked the town with Listowel). I'll never forget it that it was whilst watching the tv in the Railway one evening that I was first introduced to "The Podge & Rodge Show" on RTÉ 2. Not that the tv was allowed to kill the art of conversation, and a grand fella I was working with called Jack impressed us all with his ability to identify all the national county hurling teams from a display of model players. A good old place for a sing song too, and I heard some jokes about Kerry girls which my undaunted respect for them will not allow me to repeat here! So you get the idea, I have very harmonious memories of Ballybunion's Railway Bar, so appropriately I'll end with with a verse of the song: "To take a walk down Main Street, and see my friends from home, Go tell my own true sweetheart, I never more will roam, Go tell the lads I'm coming back--that's where I want to be, in my little Irish home town, Ballybunion by the sea."
