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

This was going to be my first Irish meal of the trip so of course I wanted something that was more traditional Irish food! The group ordered: - beef stew x2 - Cottage Pie x2 - Irish Coffees x2 - Vegetable Soup of the Day I personally got the cottage pie and it was delicious! Large order of food I thought, with pie, fries, and a salad! My mom got the soup and didn't like it that much, she loved my cottage pie though and kept stealing bites of it. The soup was more a puree, and I personally was not a fan of it either. The others loved the stew and our tour guide was a fan of the cottage pie as well! Overall, I enjoyed my lunch here!

The tour company must have a deal with Fitzgerald's as he called when we were 20 mins out and they were ready for us. Greeted us with a tray full of Irish Whiskey and Baileys for everyone. The menu is all traditional Irish food and was really good. My wife got the vegetable soup & Bulmers cider, and I got bangers and mash along with a pint of Guinness. It was really good and the locals that hang out there were all very friendly and came over to talk with everyone from our group once we finished eating. I asked the one local how many people lived in this tiny village and he said, "Not sure how many in the town, but there are 27 people and 3 dogs on this street". It was so awesome and felt like going back 100 years in time.

It appears to be a true family-run operation and we ordered a couple of cheeseburgers with chips and a BLT on brown bread. Everything was excellent. The waitress was a very sweet woman and the barman is the one who actually brought us the food. Lunch for three: €20. Loved it.

Outside is a smashing beer garden that sits on the River Erkina. It really is a lovely spot. Getting back to the bike theme, they have a bike club here that meets every Wednesday at 19:30, All Welcome. I'm not sure if this is all year round. Its by-line is "have fun - keep fit - meet new friends". How nice. We just had a mineral on this occasion, as we were just about to set off home after a wedding in the town the night before, so I cannot comment on the Guinness or other drink in here. It's a lovely spot, especially in the summer by the river.
