County No. 11 KILDARE
Town Naas
Pub The Five Lamps

Day 2 was drawing to a close as we descended upon Naas and we stopped to ask a twenty strong brood of teen Goths in black hoodies, for the location of the best pint in their town. ‘Da foive lamps’ came the prepubescent reply and we quickly pulled up outside the famous Naas Courthouse – where the film Veronica Guerin was apparently filmed.

The Five Lamps was indeed a most agreeable watering hole with plenty of lively chatter and plastic shamrocks. We supped our drinks and admired a ten year old kid belting out ‘Dirty Old Town’ – clearly the children have taken over here. After finding a photographer amongst the hordes of smokers standing in the doorway, we jumped in the car and drove on into the night and towards Offaly.

Would we go back?
A good starting point to begin a further exploration of this lively looking town

Bones taking a piss in an alleyway when a car pulls up behind him and starts beeping the horn to get past him.
