Passing by Sligo, an Irish Pub named for the home of the owner, County Sligo in Ireland. The weather was absolutly brilliant today. (365 set)
...NOT.
a moment to document - my first time holding a cigarette. (No I did not smoke it....yuck!) I didn't hold it for too long though...kind of scary.
In search of the perfect pub.....
McKibbin's is ok. It's warm and cozy enough (the fireplace is a nice touch). The decor and ambience kind of rustic. Good location, food not great, but ok -
For the life of me though, I just can't understand why pubs insist on having a huge TV screen dominate an entire room; blaring out an annoying sports game that nobody is interested in, let alone watching. Talk about an absolute conversation killer! Distracting, overbearing, boring and annoying!!
Why do pubs go out of their way to create such a wonderful, cozy, ambient setting; but then absolutely RUIN the atmosphere with these huge, annoying, distracting TV screens that drown out the conversation of their clientele, thus preventing customers from socializing with one another and enjoying good conversation?
It surely isn't this bad in Europe.

his pub was owned by a member of my extended family but I have never been in it [my mother, a Regan, claims that here father brought me there when I was young but I have no recollection of visiting].
It could be described as a small [tiny] traditional pub located in a beautiful spot beside St Peter’s Bridge near the town of Trim. MY mother claims that it was popular with professionals who wished to avoid visiting pubs in the actual town.
Currently it claims to be Ireland’s second oldest pub (next to Sean’s Bar in Athlone) but my mother was unaware of such a claim. It now has a beer garden with a view of the ruins of St John’s Priory which is close by.
