J ANTHONY BEIRNE’S in Strokestown, Co Roscommon definitely falls into the category of traditional old school pub.

And everyone who’s been there would fully agree.

It’s so old school that it doubles up as a shop

Two birds, one stone.

Excellent.

One visitor noted how handy it is:

If you’re low on fertiliser or milk, you’ll find it here too.

Because it’s not just your regular spot – it’s so much better than that
