Hotels, Bars, Taverns and Pubs in County Longford, Ireland

Longford's pub history is often best told village by village. Drumlish once had ten pubs for about 300 residents, a story the drinks-trade veteran and pub historian Eddie Bohan tells in Quenching Drumlish's Thirst. In Longford town, the Tally Ho on New Street has been a pub for more than 150 years and lays claim to the Midlands' longest-running trad session. The town once distilled on a large scale too: a 19th-century gazetteer records a distillery making about 50,000 gallons of whiskey a year, alongside a large brewery.
