11 of the best pub names around Ireland

We want to have a pint in all of these.

WE’RE FAMOUS IN Ireland for our fine quality pubs, and deservedly so.

And when we combine them with our own unique wit, some fantastic pub names are born. Here are the best we could find from around the country:

Camán Inn

This Inishowen institution has sadly been closed for a couple of years now, but its long-held reputation lives on in the pantheon of great Irish pub names.

A popular haunt in Tinahely, Wicklow – The Dying Cow pub has a popular following on Facebook.

The Wander Inn

You probably won’t plan to go here when you’re in Kenmare, Kerry but you might… oh, forget it.

The Blue Loo

Situated right on the main street in Glengarriff, Cork – this is just delightful.

Stoop Your Head

Self explanatory. People have been burned in the past by not heeding its advice.

The Squealing Pig

Such an emotive image. If you’re in Mongahan, you have to have a pint in the Pig.

The Glyde Inn

You would be smoothly walking into this bar and restaurant in Louth, anyway.

The Cock Tavern

Swords’ finest tavern. No sniggering in the back.
