Portroe may be off the beaten path for tourists or visitors who want to focus on the hotspots of Ireland, but if you miss this place, you may well miss Ireland.
The hosting was fantastic, and the host filled with warmth. The pub downstairs was an added plus, and while we only really could join in on the fun the final night, there was a certain enjoyment hearing the laughs coming up.
James is the perfect host to help you understand the necessity of the properly pulled pint, and treated us as if we had always been there. The Guinness is cold, the patrons warm - even Grumpy - and I terribly missed this place and the few hours we spent in the pub likely more than all of the rest I've seen in Ireland on this trip.
