It's partly the regular trad sessions (Wednesday to Sunday, May to September; Friday and Saturday, October to April), partly the timber panels and snugs, and partly the chatty, welcoming vibe that help make the pub in the Old Ground Hotel a favourite with locals and visitors.
Retro pub food (mains €10 to €25; food served to 9pm) ranges from poached salmon on brown treacle bread to prime Irish steaks.
