Goat In The Boat in Skerries

03/01/2026: Beautiful, quirky pub with a unique character. Excellent Guinness, Estrella Galicia 0.0, and friendly staff... their Copper Throat cask strength whiskey is quite good too. This is a local for those who prefer an intimate, authentic setting over larger, more modern venues. A great spot if you want a pint in a place with soul, character, and a warm, fireplace-lit welcome. It does feel like a "living room" rather than a commercial bar, with music-heavy decor, vintage memorabilia, and an open fireplace. Music seems to be central to its identity, particularly during the Skerries Traditional Music Weekend, but also with a great eclectic soundtrack. Overall a well balanced cosy atmosphere with a traditional Irish pub feel and a modern, somewhat alternative edge. In addition to being a pub, it now houses a coffee shop and bakery right beside.

12/12/2025: Such a cosy pub and warm atmosphere. Perfect for a date, few deinks and caters for large groups too and opens late. Didn't eat here but say the food is pretty good if they do serve food.
