I travel to Leitrim and Carrick-on-Shannon often and had an unsettling experience there. Went in for a couple of pints saint patrick's weekend. Set quietly listening to the music minding my own affairs. There was group across the way getting larger and larger to eventually the stools got close together with mine. Did not speak to them for quite a while. Then as the group became larger again, they were almost right next to me. We chatted for a little bit and I picked up to get another beer and asked if anybody wanted one. A few said yes, and I took the orders and went to the bar. I had no intention of hanging out with them, but just wanted to be friendly.as a visiting American. When I walked up to the service window of the bar the older bar tender asked if the order Is the for the group in back.i responded yes. He said they are leaving and you're not getting anything.. He asked if I was coming back later in the evening and I answered yes truthfully. He then started getting animated and loud which I  had trouble hearing because of the music and the noise. He was getting and was quite rude and very disrespectful. I said nothing while he was going on. He then dismissed me turned his back to me and waited on someone else ,leaving me standing, still trying to figure out what was going on. And unable to figure out what his problem was. I do not know what his issue was with the people at the next table or me for that matter. However, I was not involved in their behavior or conversation. He had every right to refuse service to them And when he informed me of that, I responded with OK. And respected his decision. What he did not have the right to do was address me in a disrespectful manner like some kind of riffraff. After his rude treatment I simply picked up my coat and left the premises not to return. Still don't know what his issue is. The buyer beware. I hope this was an isolated incident. There are plenty of pubs in Carrick who want your business and will treat you right. read more

Here's the thing, there is nothing wrong with a 2-star pub in Ireland, sometimes those are the best. If you are looking for a traditional, old authentic Irish pub, this is the place to go. We had a great time drinking, it was cozy, and the bartender was great. It is nothing fancy or elegant but the Guinness is good and the bathrooms are clean! If you were looking for a 5-star new and modern place to go, this is not the place for you. Looking to soak up Irish tradition and culture, then this is where you need to be! read more

See all

This is the place to come if you are hungry and want to bulk up on carbs.. The Sunday roast was great, loads of meat, veg, and several helpings of potatoes cooked every way it is possible to cook spuds. Terrific value, and the waiting staff weren't joking when we were asked if we wanted any more.. Brilliant value at a little over a tenner each.. read more
