    I am searching for the pub at highest elevation in Connaught as a cycling challenge this summer.. Where is it, nothing shows up definitive on google maps.. It looks like a lot of population centres of connaught are all low lying so its hard to see where it might be. If I dont find the highest pub, I might have to settle for the one at foot of the reek, but hopefully someon can help ne out.

    Best I have found is Carolans in Beallacorrick but its long closed..

    The closest I can think of is Leonards of Lahardane

    Had a quick check of a topo map and it looks like a pub in Knock to me

    Do you want a proper pub or would the fully licensed bar at the Sláinte Barista Cafe in Knock Airport qualify? It has an elevation of 203m according to this and is open to the public.

    Interesting one. Thinking about it myself there are very few rural pubs I know in mountainous areas of Mayo such as Nephins, Ox Mountains, Maamturks or Partry so therefore the most likely candidates are somewhere in the hilly parts of East Mayo like Aughamore or Knock as above or the likes.
