Drinks & Nightlife
It's a 5 minute walk from our Home! Live Music on Friday and Saturday nights. If I'm honest, it's not the cleanest bar in town, but the atmosphere is good and while I wouldn't be mad on the food here, they do server Hot food and Ryan's Steak has been renowned for many years!

Great Bar and Lounge, probably the nicest bar and lounge in the village, there is a Beer Garden if you fancy sitting outside in the Irish weather, it is covered and heated! Lots of Sport and Horse racing always on view. This bar doesn't server Hot Food, nor does it have Live Music (and doesn't allow singing!! LOL)

Sightseeing
c/o Wiki: Newgrange is a prehistoric monument in County Meath, Ireland, located about one kilometre north of the River Boyne (35 minute drive from Ratoath). It was built during the Neolithic period around 3000 BC to 2500 BC, making it older than Stonehenge and the Egyptian pyramids. The site consists of a large circular mound with a stone passageway and interior chambers. The mound has a retaining wall at the front and is ringed by engraved kerbstones. There is no agreement about what the site was used for, but it has been speculated that it had religious significance – it is aligned with the rising sun and its light floods the chamber on the winter solstice. It is the most famous monument within the Neolithic Brú na Bóinne complex, alongside the similar passage tomb mounds of Knowth and Dowth, and as such is a part of the Brú na Bóinne UNESCO World Heritage Site. Newgrange also shares many similarities with other Neolithic constructions in Western Europe, such as Maeshowe in Orkney, Scotland and the Bryn Celli Ddu in Wales.
