Our abundent use of natural,
solid wood and natural stone
tiles helps create an authentic
old world charm.
An Poc Fada or 'the poc',
as it is commonly known,
derives its name from a popular
hurling competition. This
is a contest based in mythology
where warriors tested eachother
by seeing who could 'poc'
(hit) the 'sliotar' (ball)
with a hurley the least amount
of times to cover a given
distance. This competition
is still held every year
on the Cooley Mountains,
Co. Louth.
The 'poc' remains a great
spot for an after-work get-together,
or a lively venue for those
wild weekend nights. One
of the pubs best features
is its fully equipped beer
garden. This large outdoor
area is sheltered and heated,
enabling you to relax outside
on those lazy summer evenings,
or keep warm and dry on those
cold winter nights. |
