After we left Cha Healy’s we walked across the road and decided to head into Bowlers Bar. To be honest Jen had some reservations about going into this pub as it doesn’t look too appealing from the outside. I am glad that we didn’t judge the pub on how it looked outside. We walked into this pub and basically its just a relatively long bar. There is nothing spectacular about the place, just a few seats to the left. There was five older men sitting at the bar and i was amazed of how little notice they took of us as we walked in. It was quite clear that this was not a bar for a huge crowd or of people making a lot of noise. This is a pub that you go in and have a quiet few pints in. I ordered a pint of Guinness and diet 7up and the lady at the bar was telling me that business was way down because gardai was enforcing the drink driving laws rigidly. I asked her if there was much trouble in the town in the course of the conversation and she sarcastically told me that if there was a window broken in the town, it would be major news!!
The toilets in the bar appear modern and were very clean. There was towel there for drying your hands but i opted not to use it after remembering how long the infamous towel had vacated Cogans bar! We stayed for another drink and i had another guinness and i have to say that they were the best pints of the night. Would i recommend this pub? Yes, but its appeal is to people who like a quiet pub with a friendly greeting.
Toilet rating: 7/10
Pint rating: 8/10
Overall rating: 8/10
Final comment: Bowlers bar was a very enjoyable place for a quiet pint in a country pub.
