Joe May’s

We were shown along the beautiful seaside of Skerries by our Irish hosts. Then we got the chance to enjoy the smoothest pint of Guinness during our stay in Ireland at Joe May’s!
We liked the traditional atmosphere in the pub very much and felt at home immediately!
Thanks to David May for his warm welcome!

Skerries is a beautiful spot, and any time I visit I always wonder why it took me so long to go back. Joe May’s is one of the reasons to go back, a friendly local pub facing the bay. The food looked amazing, I’m definitely going to be dining the next time.

My review may be somewhat biased by the fact it was a glorious sunny day! A mate and myself were showing our American guest around the sights of coastal north Dublin, fresh after a swim in the Irish sea a pint of Guinness was called for. The bar has a traditional feel inside and pours a mighty fine pint. Where Joe May’s came into it’s own was the view of Skerries harbour. Perched on a wooden bench with a pint in hand, happy out ;-)

GReat Pub nothing like a nice Pint sitting watching the boats in the Sun and watching the world go by,
Some nice sambos and nice staff what more could ya ask for :)

There is nothing like a lovely creamy pint of Guinness while standing outside Joe Mays in the glorious sunshine. It’s a tonic… and this is where I was last Sunday, the first summer (ish) weekend of 2011
The bar is small but very charming. It has a fireplace too, which is usually going in the Autumn and Winter. There is another small cosy room behind the bar, this then leads to a run of the mill Irish pub lounge.
Funnily the prices are cheaper in the bar, than in the lounge, which is a typical thing of pubs in north county Dublin, or so I am told by my brother.
Today though, I was a little peeved and being passed over twice while waiting to order a couple of pints. The locals know what part of the bar is best to stand at for ordering. This I will keep in mind for next time.

Great pub. Home made soup and sandwiches. Real coal fires. Friendly staff and great beer. Well worth a visit. Overlooks Skerries Harbour — lovely views.
