Effortlessness Neill’s had been around since 1611, nine years prior to the Pilgrim Fathers set sail in the Mayflower, and he needed to drink a few pints of Guinness to grapple with it. It’s not the most seasoned bar in Ireland: that respect fitting in with Sean’s Bar in Athlone. However, it’s still a glorious establishment, with its rural wood and tile floors, uncovered shafts, dividers in warm earthen hues or uncovered block, and comfy snugs which have facilitated Keats, Liszt and Peter the Great. Also nourishment adequate for a posting in the 2014 Michelin Eating Out In Pubs Guide. Request that the barman let you know about the apparition of Grace, who still frequents the spot. You can’t book in the bar, however reservations exhorted for the eatery.
