The Pub With No Beer, Tipperary
On the border of counties Clare, Galway and Offaly and close to the small village of Aglish you'll find Conroy's Old Bar, "where time has literally stood still". An authentic, traditional pub, Conroy's has been converted to sleep 4 while still retaining its original features. If you are looking to book a trip, bear in mind Conroy's no longer holds a liquor license and is completely dry of alcohol - find out more HERE.
