Before the new highway was built, Morrissey's was a required stop for travelers going back and…read moreforth between Dublin and Cork. No better way to break up a long trip (by Irish standards) than stopping for a cold pint in a pub that's been serving them since 1775. Yup, this little pub is older than 'Merica. The charm of Morrissey's is related to it's age. The nicknacks, jars, advertisements and other wall and shelf ornaments are exactly in place as they were 100 years ago. Nay, 200. Walking into Morrissey's is like taking a trip back in time to a simpler place where simpler ways governed the way we lived and people were generally shorter and smaller, as evidenced by the tiny pub stools and tables. One of the coolest things here is the visitor register, which is several volumes thick since it dates back to the pub's founding, and is still daily updated by those wanting to ink their names into a bit of Irish history. Book of Kells my ass. You can't write you name in that one, can you? No, you can't. "They" say a pub closes each day in modern Ireland. Let's hope Morrissey's stands the test of time. Few are as deserving.

Just Great. The only thing is that they don't have live music every night. Still gets 5 starsread more

The Irish beers are excellent draught, of course, and the food is reasonably priced and well made. The most memorable thing is the atmosphere -- I felt good staying at the place that is spacey enough to accomodate larger crowds without leaving you with a desire to go outside to get some fresh air. If you're in the area, a decent place to eat, and a great place to have that early afternoon pint.

Popped here for a bit of lunch one afternoon. I've heard about how good the pub grub in Fureys for…read moreyears and was delighted to get to try it. I went for a cup of seafood chowder to start, followed by the steak sandwich. The chowder was just okay in my opinion. A bit too salty and not as thick as I like it. However, I may be a chowder snob. The steak sandwich in the other hand was unreal! Chunky chips, thick sliced bread and the most tender cut of steak. Perfect for a sandwich. I engulfed all the food. The chips were a winner. Fureys tends to be a busy spot, so you may have to wait to be seated. The staff are amazing and handle your wait really well. We were seated and taken care of really quickly. Definitely worth a visit if you are passing by.
