The Mauretania Bar in Cobh

Kinsale started to fill in quick, so I decided to move on and swing back through Cobh to catch anything I might have missed the first time. The drive over was easy enough, but finding a spot near the water took some patience. Once I got settled, I ducked into The Mauretania, a small, no-frills pub that felt like it had been there forever. Ordered a Jameson with lime and ginger ale and took a seat. Simple drink, but it hit right, gave me a minute to reset and get my bearings before heading back out. Felt like the right call stepping away from the crowd and easing back into a slower pace.

Had a great time when our cruise ship visited. Say hello to a local I met and drank pints with - his name was Mitch.
