A perfect place to stop after exploring the Slieve Bloom Mountains, this lovely country pub scores across the board. Food ranges from simple sandwiches to Irish classics such as steak-and-Guinness pie, plus summer barbecues. Trad music plays on weekends year-round. In fine weather, you can enjoy a pint outside at a picnic table while taking in the mountain vistas.
If you want to stay, Giltraps has rooms in a neighbouring townhouse, as well as log cabins and a yurt; doubles start at €85.
