Just chatting about a pub to ColinC the other day, which put this in my head.
Could split this into two.
Favourite pub I've drank in: The Vic in Tramore
Pubs I'd most like to own: The Oarsman in Carrick-on-Shannon (altho this is almost a close 2nd to the Vic), The Harbourmaster, Dublin.
Honourable mentions: The Old Rogue, Waterford. Back bar in the Munster, Waterford. Salthouse, Galway. Ryans on Parkgate St.
The Vic in Tramore wins it for me too. Followed by the Bull and Castle & the the Salthouse in Galway.
