If you get a chance to stop here, take it. What a wonderful stop on the way back from Sligo. On the banks of the Royal canal, the place was humming on a Friday evening and we almost didn’t get to stay without a reservation but we happily found some seats at the bar. The food was simply gorgeous. Elevated pub grub with chowder, steaks (cooked incredibly well) salads and burgers. Huge menu. Staff were really attentive and very friendly. I’d go out of my way to atop here again and next time I’ll make sure I have a reservation.

The steak is excellent, cannot fault it! Quality of the meat is great, portions are very generous (fillet steak), everything very fresh, and really reasonable prices. Service is good. The kids menu is worth a mention, I was able to get a plain piece of chicken and some unsalted chips for my toddler and paired it with a salad. Was impressed as kids menus can sometimes be mostly processed food. We had banoffee pie to finish off - it was decent too, but the steak was by far the star of the show. Lovely to sit outside when the weather is nice.

Was running on the Royal Canal 🥵🥵...called in to get some water ...female barstaff went out to their way to crush up ice to refill my water pouches. Great service and hospitality.

On Easter Monday, as the midlands were predicted to have sunshine, we decided to have lunch in Fureys before a stroll along the canal. We normally drop in on our way west to visit family for a quick bite.. see our review 5 years ago, the latest reviews were appalling, and no owner feedback... so we booked a table and when we arrived gently made this point.
We had an excellent large chowder, shared as a starter; and then a chicken and beef burger, diy assembly, no complaints.
So in my view, the negative reviews are unjust, but as we told the staff, the managements lack of response is more damaging than the poor reviews.

PS - if you walk on the west towpath, there is no crossing at the aqueducts as the steps down to the road are closed off
