Restaurant is above the pub. Food is pretty good although the night I was there they didn't have my 1st 2 choices of main course available (although we were about the only peoplein there) so I had to pick something that I propbably wouldn't normally go for - it was very nice all the same.

Watch your head, unless you're as short as I am. We were on the CIE Scots Irish tour. We somehow got a table directly next to the band and had a wonderful time, let folks come and sit with us, got Guinness with Blackcurrant (which depending on who you ask is WRONG ... I thought it was fun). We had a BBQ buffet dinner that was good with plenty of food. They let us take home our placemats which are maps of Ireland. Also, there was a gift shop with some lovely items that came home with us, as well.

This pub has been standing since the 17th Century, they know a thing or two about hospitality. Our party of five made ourselves cozy in the sessions corner as the pub keeper offered to light a peat moss fire for our comfort. They sell tee-shirts and tourist patronize this place, on account of it being a very old, beautiful Irish pub, but there were a few locals enjoying a pint when we stopped in. One of the owners is American, and I was surprised to see JFK Memorabilia in the smaller room. They have antique oil lamps, old firearms and assorted things on display for patrons to muse. They proudly serve Bushmills and even their own brand of Crosskeys Whisky, but I got a gin and tonic and enjoyed the Northern Irish craic that was on full supply on this June day.

Good country food in a good country pub. I could leave my review at that as I think it's self…read moreexplanatory but I feel like sharing so here's a bit more detail. The Countryman will not win any fine dining awards in my lifetime but it does do tasty plainish food in generous portions. The menu is very much of the chicken Maryland style which helps to explain that it ain't modern fusion type cooking. Instead their strength is in unpretentious filling steaks and chicken dishes, with some fish, although it's battered and comes with chips and peas. I normally have chicken gougons which come ungarnished and with a separate little bowl of sweet chilli sauce and garlic mayo. Freshly cooked and tasty and sometimes that's exactly what you want. Service is very family friendly and full of good old fashioned courtesy which I think is great. The staff behave as if you are doing them a favour by eating there rather than the reverse attitude you get elsewhere. The Countryman is good for family outings and groups as it's big and spacious and has plenty of pace to wall about with fractious babies and toddlers. Been there and done that.

If you are happy with no frills, basic eating, their food is usually good, but watch out for it sometimes not being the hottest when it arrives at the table and don't be afraid to ask for it to be re-heated. In this particular Wetherspoons, the family area is upstairs, set away from the bar, and very pleasant to sit in, provided you don't mind having to take children through the main pub (and same again for taking them to toilet!). Good children's menu choices and usually a fruit bag/colouring booklet available too!

The liver was a little over cooked, same with the beef for the beef in the beef & Guinness pie. Fish was perfect. The only housefly we have run into while in Ireland was here. Kind of a surprise. All that said I do recommend the place. The portions were large, the food (like all of Ireland) was served hot (I mean HOT) to the table, unlike many places in the US. Hot chocolate Sunday with vanilla ice turns out to be a hot chocolate cake with a serving of French vanilla ice cream covered in hot chocolate sauce, devoured immediately upon hitting the table.
