Amazing bar, with incredibly kind staff and locals. Shannon was behind the bar all night, and was absolutely fantastic. Great live music, even on a Monday, and there was outdoor seating in the back if you needed some air. They also relayed the live music through the whole bar's sound system, so you could continue to listen if you stepped away.

Cheers from California Kyle!

A must hit spot whenever in Trim! An authentic Irish pub with top class hospitality (and not a bad Guinness pour either 😉). They’ve extended out the back to have many different areas that suit whatever you’re after - be it a cosy snug, dance floor or outdoor tables to catch the afternoon sun. Attentitive service where you rarely will have an empty glass in front of you and the toilets are always spotless. The little things are always thought of here! Do yourself a favour and get down to Lenihans. I for one can’t wait for a post-Covid trip.

We had Day 2 of our wedding in James Griffin recently and had an absolutely blast. Their manager Shannon was so friendly and easy to deal with, from the point of booking to the day itself. We had our own private bar, and they even had a lovely personalised welcome sign and decorated the room with balloons. The food provided was delicious and there wasn’t a sandwich left. Later that night, a complimentary DJ was provided and kept the party going. Our guests really enjoyed the atmosphere, Guinness and music. We cannot wait to return and would highly recommend to couples looking for a place to enjoy a few drinks for Day 2 of the wedding.

Called into the bar for a drink. On entering it was like going back in time. The place was olde world. On further inspection I found that the rear of the building openened out to a modern place. People very friendly. We spoke to the bar maid can't spell her name who was lovely and very helpful. Would recommend this place for a good time. Live music after 6.30. A great selection of whiskeys and gins.

Loved this pub. We walked the length of Trim looking for a nice place to sit and have a drink, this was the last place we went and thankfully we saved the best for last. Nice little books to sit in and a really warm atmosphere. Great place to go.

We made a couple visits to the James Griffin Pub while in Trim. Such a friendly staff with a terrific owner, Tom -- and amazing live music. We will be back on our next Ireland adventure for sure!

I had a wonderful time at the James griffin pub. The atmosphere of the pub was fantastic, attention to little details and decor was nice to see from a pub in a small town. Some of the most skillfull barmen and women. Best service I’ve had in a long time. Will definitely be back next year for some more cocktails!!
