Dingle Pubs are Great Craic!

Although I wrote about the great good time I had in Dingle earlier, I wanted to share a few pictures that weren’t available then.

It had been a rough day for me, so by the time I arrived, I was pooped out, starving, and feeling bummed about only staying in this gorgeous location only one day!

This is me as soon as I got in my room. Thought a pic was in order to capture my mood, but snapped the shutter before I was ready! Like it anyway.

My first stop in Dingle after I showered away the road was Out of the Blue for dinner. This restaurant was amazing and I just loved their menu! I had the cod and it was magnificent! After dinner at Out of the Blue I set out for Dick Mack’s. This was where I learned what riding means in Ireland.

From Dick Mack’s I made my way to Foxy John’s. I ordered another pint of cider, but after one sip I thought better of it. The cider here always tastes like more, so I opted for a glass of water instead and hung out talking to a few people at the bar. This is where I met Gareth and shared my map about all the best pubs in Dingle.

From Foxy John’s I set out for the Yellow Bar (forget the name of it, but it’s painted a super bright yellow and that’s what everyone calls it anyway sooo….This is where I saw Gareth again hanging out with two lovely ladies, so I joined their table and we watched the Irish dancers swing about to the accordion and guitar trio. It was a right good bit o’ craic for sure!

From there I headed to Paul Geaney’s and had my eleventy two seconds of fame and met Paul and Samantha. That place was a hoot (because I had my eleventy two seconds of fame, naturally!), but I pushed on to see what else there was to see.

I found myself back at Foxy John’s and it was now absolutely full of people. This is when I finally noticed the hardware store part of the pub. This place is the craic at night!

when I took my picture the fella looking at the blonde’s hand thought I was taking HIS picture! When I laughed and said I was taking a picture of the hardware store, he looked disappointed. So then this happened and everyone was happy again.

I went back in the morning before heading out of town for a daytime picture only to find a lady buying a shovel. Too funny!

After the picture to complete the Foxy John’s experience, I set out for Conor’s Pass. I was a bit nervous, not knowing what to expect in terms of twists and narrow bends, but still determined to completely put the previous day’s ride out of my mind.

  1. Hello Happy Canuck! Have had an insane July between one thing and another. Always in the back of my mind was “the happy canuck”….must….catch…up! So glad you have blogged like this because I have now had a chance to read through the highlights (twice). My fave bits: your winning on ‘the ponies’….”did you hear about the guy from Limerick” (Deanna at her best I think) and just simply admiring the true grit it took to get yer ass back up when Gretta upended
    . What a blast you are having despite those occasional blues…I knew Ireland would be life-changing for you…keep truckin’ Deanna and Gretta! GO CANUCK GO!!!
