But take the time to go inside this wonderful cozy pub that is clearly loved by its locals. One visit and you'll understand why. Lucky for me, I get to visit Ireland every year and with each new adventure I seek country pubs steeped with history and charm. Serving the prerequisite perfect pint of Guinness, Fishermans was this years winner!

They have a good website with all their menus and great special offers listed but to be honest the site makes it look like what my friend described as an "old man" pub when it's very new, bright and clean but with the charm of an Irish pub. They do a good Early Bird up until 7pm with a main for €10, two course €15, and three course €20. I had a prawn sweet and sour which was more expensive than what I usually pay for Asian food but a huge portion and very tasty. It was also spicier than what I'm used to for sweet and sour but still tasty. My friends all also had Thai main courses and were impressed. The staff were very nice and welcoming (two of us were late arriving). It was recommended to me by two friends from Portlaoise as a local establishment and I can see why. They also had lots of free parking outside.

We were obviously the only non-locals, but they didn't mind us visiting their local hangout. The bar is large enough to include separate tables across from the bar. A pint of Guinness is most reasonable. The bartender was surprised when I "bused" our glasses to the bar. I told him I was a bar owner for ten years and knew how hard it was for a lone bartender to cover both the bar and the tables. Stradbally is off the tourist beat, but does have a nice cove and beach just to the south of the village square.
