Great little Irish pub that is open till at least midnight on weekdays. When leaving, we noticed that the front door had been closed (and window shades drawn) so it looked closed from the street. However, the back door was open and many locals came in through the back run after the front was closed. So check the back door even if the front looks closed.
They have live music Wed and Sun nights and is a mix of traditional Irish music and more contemporary music. There was a quartet playing when we got there but various folks in the bar swapped in and out to play different instruments or sing songs. The quality of music was surprisingly good.
The crowd is mostly locals with a smattering of tourists who seem to have been referred there by other locals (possibly hotel staff). The folks there and the barkeep were very friendly and welcoming.
The prices were very reasonable (though I don't have a good base of comparison within Cashel).
Would definitely recommend the pub for a local pub experience (especially on a night they have live music). read more
