For the rest of their lives the 3 lads will be known to the parish as "d'three wise men who were on d'telly."

When I grow up, I want to be like that Joe Kelly. Heroes.

Seconded, I did hear that some pretender was trying to claim the title though, looks like this asylum is it.

I heard some story about unionists writing a complaint letter or something about it and so it was given to the 2nd highest, strange given that the pub is in a big nationalist area

Nice lamb.

It's a lie.

Dublanders like to like about these sorts of things. They also claim to have the oldest bar in Ireland (Brazen Head) which is also a lie.

Boldberry · 03-05-2014 12:25PM

I think the Brazen Head lies about, I'm sure your average Dub couldn't give two fcuks about how old a tourist trap claims to be.

crockholm · 03-05-2014 01:05PM

looks like a grand ol spot,great find op.Hipster-free too by the looks of it

Is that not true? I quite like the Brazen Head. Although Johnnie Fox's fell out of favour recently when we did a bus tour thing there and had to leave at 12.30am when the craic was just getting started.

If hipster means anyone from guy from local village who is not a sheep farmer, and up, It's hipster free.

Guinness book of records have been trying to confirm for a few years now that it is indeed the oldest bar in the world. It's the oldest currently listed in the book but they decided to do further research before giving any bar the title.

Highest pub in Ireland is in Roundwood, co. wicklow

Was thinking the same thing.

crockholm · 03-05-2014 01:28PM

Some facts would also be nice...I had Always presumed that one of the pubs in roundwood was the highest pub.Perhaps it's time to put a G.P.S. or something on the pubs counter and get a definitive answer.

The 3 men and the Lamb look like they're having a bit of fun at least.

Frank Lee Midere · 03-05-2014 01:34PM

Ten hard years on the Internet and I still don't know what the highest f*cking pub in Ireland is.

questionmark? · 03-05-2014 01:38PM

Still not sure if they were all speaking Klingon or english

There was a ford and a small settlement.

Do gimmicks like oldest pub in such a place, or highest pub etc really work? It just makes me think 'tourist trap' and avoid.

Now if they were claiming "highest ratio of hedonistic female to males ratio in Ireland" that'd be different.

The highest pub in Ireland
