f Ireland’s oldest pubs and it is located not too far from the Guinness brewery. This is a popular venue for live music, there are also all the classic Irish beverages here and delicious meals being sold on a daily basis.
- Brennan’s Criterion, Co. Donegal
This pub actually opened way back in 1900 and it was a family run business for many years. The interior is gorgeous and it has stayed decorated in quite an old fashioned way. Brennan’s Criterion certainly attracts a particular crowd because there is no televisions, music and even swearing allowed.
- Hargadon’s, Sligo Town
This is an old pub and restaurant that was originally a grocery store. The amazing thing about this place is that it has kept the old style with shelves that look like they are falling apart, whiskey canisters and more. There are a range of drinks available and the atmosphere is friendly here.
