Amongst the greebling here - an A/B payphone, old photos and old breweryana - is a framed newspaper clipping that has lead to my single highest view count on a post to date.
(I had actually taken a photo of the framed clipping, but the glass was so reflective you'd mostly see me; not the clipping - so here's the INA version of it)
I didn't manage to get a seat throughout my entire visit here, the pub being that busy - and yet its probably the only pub I'd be willing to go stand in again (at my age, with my knees - I was never told that your body started failing in your 30s).
The outside of the pub has signage stating it to to be the "Philipstown House"; a name I can't find an obvious explanation for - the name of the area on all old maps is Galloping Green, with no suitably named adjoining townlands.
