Parking is limited and it seems that most of the village uses the bar as its "local" resulting in slightly cramped conditions as the night progresses. Ample outdoor seating and a covered area which is ideal for any smokers in your party. Certainly would eat here again - but unlikely to unless staying in the hotel again.

Indoor and outdoor seating is available and there is frequently live music.

Mmmm, spicy buffalo wings! That's the first thing I associate with the Carpenter, because they do…read moregreat wings, but the rest of the food isn't that nice. The pub is right behind a 37 busstop, so it's easy to get to and perfect for a wee break when you're waiting for the bus yet again. The Carpenter has a friendly, welcoming atmosphere and the staff are nice and efficient. It's a lovely spot for a few quiet pints in the evening, but if you want to have something to eat- apart from the wings- this is probably not the pub for you.

If only that was in the main pub rather than the hall, it would be amazing. The pub has loads of great little nooks and crannys spread out over 2 floors. You could easy get lost in here. But its the kind of place that you might have a chance at finding a free table, if you go searching. I have heard they also do a great Sunday Carvery, but I have not given that a go just yet. Watch the stairs, I did see someone fall down them, stairs and alcohol are not the best combo!

I cannot believe how large this pub is inside! We stopped by after seeing it on a "Traditional Pubs…read moreof Ireland" poster, and because my grandfather's name was James Griffin. The atmosphere was perfect! It was early Sunday morning, and there were already a few locals inside having their morning beer and reading the newspaper. I did some exploring because it looks so small on the outside, but you get in, and it just keeps going and going. Looks like they get large crowds during the evenings, and even offer lots of live music and DJs. The bartender was friendly.

So when you pass thru Trim to see the Castle, call in to this gorgeous pub. When you walk in, it is old school classic pub with beautiful woodwork and bar. From there, you can go in the cozy fireplace room that feels and looks great and leads to another cozy area to meet and be with friends. If you like patios, you're at the right place! Step out back and find a covered & climate controlled patio that is huge! They have a large smoking patio area (you can't smoke inside in Ireland either). Thru the patio, you can see a big events room that you can host a reception, party, meeting, whatever. It's been a few months since my last visit, but I've heard they have a new beer garden too! Oh yes, the drinks...the Guinness is perfect. You can get almost any tasty beverage here from a nice bartender. The owner is hands-on and always working to keep this place top notch.

It arrived looking very 'gray' , rubbery, dense, and completely tasteless - it was obviously a pre-cooked something that had been thrown in the microwave. Lettuce was soggy and the tomato was not fresh. Lots of money wasted on an awful meal that we couldn't even manage to gag down. Sadly the waitress was not at all attentive. Had to wave her down for any service even though the place was very slow. Not good-wasted money in this economy is sad.

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.

I highly recommend you go there have a pint and a good laugh. I'll probably see you there the next trip I'm home from Florida to visit my family!!!
