'Sheep ticks' on your .... It must have been a little awkward explaining that one to Mrs Steve!

Meanwhile, my favourite is The Moon Under Water. Especially since the new management started piping in the really loud Classic Rock ....

Well it were me wot mentioned it, and we do indeed have fond memories of many a night spent there in August 1977. The landlady of the time was an oldish lady, the sister of Nellie O'Neill who ran the guest house in Cloghane that we stayed in for two weeks. It could well have been Nora. Nellie's granddaughter was called Ellen, a lovely young girl who served us at breakfast. If you managed to eat all of Nellie's vast breakfast you got an even bigger one next day. The funniest thing was that I, being the man, always received two eggs, whereas Mrs Steve only got the one! We even got chips. We didn't have to think about food for the rest of the day. We had a great time in spite of the ropey weather and the infestation of sheep ticks I endured on parts of my anatomy that you really don't want to know about...

On another thread someone mentioned a bar in Brandon, County Kerry.

Murphys Bar is, to me, the best bar in the world and I been in a few.

It's location is simply beautiful, the landlady kindness personified, the bar small and simple, the hospitality ....... legendary is the only word that will fit and the Guinness first class.

So which pubs do you good people consider to be the best.
