Overview

If you find yourself wandering through the rustic landscapes of Skreen, Co. Meath, make sure to stop by O’Connell’s pub. Seriously, it feels like stepping back in time. This family-run joint has been around for like 170 years, and let me tell you, it hasn’t changed much since the 1800s. No flashy screens or Wi-Fi distractions here! Just good old-fashioned banter and a pint or two.

Imagine settling into a cozy spot with a pint of Guinness. It might just be the best pint you ever have—no joke. I mean, if the locals are raving about it as “the best in the county,” who am I to argue? Plus, the views of the Hill of Tara from the outdoor seating area? Absolutely stunning.

Now, don’t go expecting a loud, bustling bar scene. It’s all about the chat here. There’s no live music, which some might find odd, but honestly? It creates this chill vibe where you can have a decent conversation without yelling over a band. You might even find a talented local strumming a tune if the mood strikes!

Here’s a fun quirk: the toilets are outside. I know, right? But honestly, it keeps the pub nice and cozy—no constant shuffling through the small space. Speaking of space, it’s perfect for groups or just a quiet drink. You wanna escape the hustle and bustle? This is your place.

With a comfy fireplace and a warm, welcoming atmosphere, it’s hard not to feel at home. And hey, don’t forget to check out their snacks too; word on the street is, the food is pretty darn great as well.

Open in the evenings most days, O’Connell’s doesn’t take reservations, and they keep it simple with cash and cards accepted. If you’re roaming around, make it a point to swing by. Trust me, you won’t regret it. Cheers to good times! 🍻
