One Last Dinner Out

So we went back to a place that we enjoyed near the hotel - Gallagher & Co Bistro.
Delightful meal, friendly staff.

Cute little restaurant attached to the distillery. Amazing whiskey bread pudding.

Kilbeggan!

Amazing distillery, amazing historic site. One of the prettiest distilleries you could ever visit.
