3 Best Day Trips from Dublin to Belfast, Dromoland Castle, County Clare, and County Wicklow | Condé Nast Traveler
"After enjoying the historic sites and national parks of Ireland’s Ancient East, this is where you'll want to join fellow explorers for some refined refueling. Past the charming stone exterior and litter of outdoor tables, you'll find an interior aglow with rich leather seating, warm wood floors and paneling, stone mantles, and book-lined shelves, and a motley mix of locals and foodies settling in for a sampling of Byrne's elevated pub fare: Think rounds of goat cheese-filled pouches with beet and tomato jam, crispy roast chicken with black pudding croquettes, and a seafood chowder drowsy with mussels, cod, and salmon. If you're not interested in waiting for a table, though, the fully-loaded bar offers plenty of on-par treats—lemon-pepper chicken goujons and fried fish are far from second-best." - Sandra Ramani
