Pat, Una, and their staff were wonderful. We were fortunate to be there during the euros, so I was able to take in the matches (my wife was less enthusiastic about this part). If you want to experience the Irish Midlands this is the place to go; both my wife and I travel and we try and avoid the touristy areas, preferring instead to spend our time meeting new people, and this trip provided that. Being American, I seldom get to have a good talk about football, but Pat was happy to oblige here. He's also made sure that every time I see Archie Gray take the pitch I will think of Weirs.

You can safely presume then that you'll find a fine pint of the black stuff here without any doubts! Arthur's bar is my personal favorite pub here in Leixlip, great location and atmosphere. Indoor and outdoor seating is available and there is frequently live music. Would recommend for tourists to stop in for a cup of tea/coffee during the day or a drink in the evening and soak up the history behind this bar. Check their website for more information.

We then asked that the salad order be cancelled and we'd just have the actual dinners. The server said it wasn't a problem. When the bill came, I paid it but didn't look closely. When we got back to our hotel, I saw that they still charged us for the salad. That's on me for not looking more closely at the bill. They seemed to have been short staffed that night. One person was bartending, there was one server, and one other person who wasn't doing either. The food was good (not great, but good), the restaurant was clean, but double check your bill. As a bonus, their beer selection is good.

They have a good website with all their menus and great special offers listed but to be honest the site makes it look like what my friend described as an "old man" pub when it's very new, bright and clean but with the charm of an Irish pub. They do a good Early Bird up until 7pm with a main for €10, two course €15, and three course €20. I had a prawn sweet and sour which was more expensive than what I usually pay for Asian food but a huge portion and very tasty. It was also spicier than what I'm used to for sweet and sour but still tasty. My friends all also had Thai main courses and were impressed. The staff were very nice and welcoming (two of us were late arriving). It was recommended to me by two friends from Portlaoise as a local establishment and I can see why. They also had lots of free parking outside.

We hadn't planned on going here as we had intended to try Melissa O' Hare's food truck offerings that were the same offerings a week ago on our first sojourn. She had parked up within a glamping style place with a stunning view of Camlough lake. It was a dull cool overcast grey day. We speculated that Melissa wouldn't be too busy. Wrong as the line was huge. We guessed we'd queue at least an hour but we aren't prepared to queue five minutes especially in this climate of 9 winter months, two autumn months and maybe one summer month. So we ended up here. All four of us loved our food here. I had delicious fish tacos (£16 with a choice of side). The fish was cod in a light batter with fresh lime, coriander, fresh chilli. My first choice of scampi wasn't available. I opted for a chunky chips side to share around as I didn't want them. While 5 star grub it's too expensive for what it is but was the only dish overpriced. I noted from the menu that a fillet steak with fixings is now £40. The desserts (all £6.5) were scrumptious and fair priced - I had raspberry ruffle baked Alaska and a flat white (£3). Cosy place. The staff are wonderful too. Hope we return soon.
