I cannot believe how large this pub is inside! We stopped by after seeing it on a "Traditional Pubs of Ireland" poster, and because my grandfather's name was James Griffin. The atmosphere was perfect! It was early Sunday morning, and there were already a few locals inside having their morning beer and reading the newspaper. I did some exploring because it looks so small on the outside, but you get in, and it just keeps going and going. Looks like they get large crowds during the evenings, and even offer lots of live music and DJs. The bartender was friendly. read more

What can I say besides fabulous! Trim is off the beaten path from Dublin, but definitely on the map when it comes to historical must-sees while you're in Ireland! So when you pass thru Trim to see the Castle, call in to this gorgeous pub. When you walk in, it is old school classic pub with beautiful woodwork and bar. From there, you can go in the cozy fireplace room that feels and looks great and leads to another cozy area to meet and be with friends. If you like patios, you're at the right place! Step out back and find a covered & climate controlled patio that is huge! They have a large smoking patio area (you can't smoke inside in Ireland either). Thru the patio, you can see a big events room that you can host a reception, party, meeting, whatever. It's been a few months since my last visit, but I've heard they have a new beer garden too! Oh yes, the drinks...the Guinness is perfect. You can get almost any tasty beverage here from a nice bartender. The owner is hands-on and always working to keep this place top notch. read more

This is the most beautiful little pub in Trim, Meath, and maybe even Ireland. Known as Lenihan's by locals, it is the one pub that is always busy and full of people out for a good night. This is the spot I am always happy to bring people from out of town to experience the great atmosphere of Trim. They have a decent cocktail menu, serve a great range of beers and spirits, have incredibly friendly, fun and knowledgable staff and the interior is absolutely gorgeous. You can easily find yourself spending the whole night in here if you've only planned to go out for one drink. They have a massive outdoor area, and on certain nights of the week they have musical acts performing - be it trad, acoustic or more current music, you're bound to have a great night with your friends here! Would recommend this pub over any other! read more
