We went up for the Cork City game in Lansdowne Road at the weekend. The stadium was buzzing but the city team put in a poor performance. We stopped on the way up and down in Urlingford, Co Kilkenny. Butlers was the pub we headed into. We stopped there for our breakfast on the way up and our dinner on the way down. It is a bar and restaurant from what i could make out. The breakfast and dinner were fine, nothing to write home about but fine. The food we got was reasonably priced to be fair. I took a walk through the pub and i noticed their smokers area down the back near the toilets. Laura went to the bar to get two minerals and she said that the staff took a long time to serve her. The pub itself is old fashioned. There was a few people enjoying a sunday night drink when we came in for dinner.
The gents toilets were not in great condition when i saw them. The handwashing facilities are in through the first door and the urinals and cubicle are in through the next one. They are quite small. I can honestly say that i won’t be heading back to this pub again if i am in Urlingford. I am sure that it has its appeal to the regulars that frequent it. Most of Bus Eireann’s Cork to Dublin buses stop in Urlingford so call into Butlers if you are interested.
Toilet rating: 5/10

Final comment: Butlers serve food all day.
