The owner's father made us feel right at home. A very gracious host who made sure we had the best seat to each the music and regaled us with stories. The session musicians were incredible especially the rendition of the song about the cop in New York.

Tasty food
Great place, lovely food. The boss = cook came out to have a chat, what a great guy. We felt really welcome!
Hands down this is one of the most welcoming, endearing pubs I have walked into! From the moment we opened the door, everyone was so friendly, the staff and locals made us feel so welcome. The atmosphere was second to none! The food was absolutely delicious! One of the locals and the landlord were having a sing along and everyone joined in. We were so sad to leave but we just happened to find this wonderful pub as we were passing. We are already looking into staying in Birr next time just so we can spend longer in this wonderful pub.
Very reasonably priced. Highly recommend! visiting!
