I know it is hard to define remote as you could have a pub sitting along a main road that is further away from the next pub than any other pub in the country but you could just drive up to it and thats' not very exciting. The remotest pub I have been to is the one on Inis Meain. There is only one pub on that island or at least there was that time. The problem with a lot of these fecking islands is they have multiple pubs A girlie once told me of a man near Holycross who had a pub half way up a mountain, inaccessible by car, only opened one day a week to keep his license but I have no idea where that pub is and the girlie is pretending to be dead to me. So unless a kind boardsie tells me where this pub is I'll never find out. Anyone know of any super remote pubs in Ireland (or elsewhere if you have an interesting tale to tell)?

Glorious weather and we walked from the hostel at one side of the island to and from the pub at the other side; one route. The pub didn't close until very, very late and on the way back many of my class mates were sleeping in various spots along the route. Others just slept on the grass outside the hostel. There was hardly anyone else on the island except drunken science students. Very surreal but hilariously brilliant time. Great memories.

The toilet were outside in the field of the pub. People travelled all the way from Sligo town to it.http://www.mypois.ie/mpoi.php?n=ellen%27s-pub&i=140059 I seen it myself this week and thought it was a joke as its so remote. Also they only had warm Guinness 20 years ago
