Myself and Jen went to the Neil Diamond concert in Dublin a few weeks ago and on the way back home we stopped in The Three counties bar in Kilbehenny. It was a Sunday afternoon around 2pm and we just popped in for the one drink. There is plenty parking available on the road outside of this pub and it is on the main Cork to Dublin road, not far from Mitchelstown. There is a bar area at the front and i noticed a dart board. Also behind the bar are the county flags of Cork, Limerick and Tipperary. I ordered a pint of Guinness and a glass of diet 7up and we sat just across from the bar. The Guinness was a very good pint and went down well. The lady behind the bar was very nice and so were the many people inside who all had a ‘hello’ for us. There was Irish music playing on their sound system and all the lads at the bar were singing away! Even though we visited this pub in the early afternoon there was still a very good atmosphere.
I had a look out the back of the pub and there is a big area out here as well. There is a pool table available in this section. I checked the toilets and there is one cubicle and a urinal available and they were in good condition. This pub does really well with the locals and i know this because i know some people living in the area. I think it has a unique location being on the border of three counties Cork, Limerick and Tipperary. I think that the pub is actually in Co Limerick although i am open to correction on that. I left one of our ‘Munster Pubs’ cards behind in the pub after me. I really enjoyed my visit to this pub and if your passing by it’s definately worth a look.

Final comment: The Three Counties bar is a real country bar where you will be welcomed by the locals.
