I have just returned from a visit to samoen and felt I had to write a review on this amazing place . Thank you so much to the owners Shane and john for giving us such a warm welcome . Also i have to thank the hard working staff Leanne, Sophie Ben and Lisa who helped make our trip more enjoyable (hope I have not left anyone out) . We went to coveys most nights the Craic was always mighty and we met some amazing people . On the last night we were a bit hungry and decided to try some of their food and I must admit we were not disappointed as their burgers were delicious and their chicken wings to die for . Coveys is in the centre of the small village and is definitely a must if you are visiting...
Myself in a group of 8 friends age 30 stayed a 20 minute walk away from the bar. We were able to watch the midweek football. Lots of drinks to choose from although they are a bit pricey but so is most places in the area. We had a burger one night which was lovely. We visited 3 of the 5 nights we were there. Only downside is a few of the boys behind the bar have a chip on their shoulder but nothing to worry about. Try the "Irish car bomb" shot. Would recommend for ages 20-40 as there isn't many other options if you want a good p**s up
This used to be a typical Irish pub abroad. A fun atmosphere, a good range of beers with a small but well done menu. Oh and owned and run by a couple of Irish gents. It's clearly changed hands, still a good selection of beers and Guinness is still on. The vibe is now more local, but still a mix of tourists, locals and workers. It's not a big criticism of the new place, staff are friendly, beer is fine. It just doesn't feel like an Irish pub. The sign has already changed, maybe the name will change as well.
Spent a few days based in Samoens and visited Coveys frequently! The owners Shane & Bunty run a fantastic pub supported by the excellent bar staff especially L1 and L2! We ate the famous burgers one night which were excellent and the Guinness is really good! Watch out for those shots though - have a habit of creeping up on you! Hope to return one day!

The Irish magic has sadly gone in Coveys since the change of ownership, also gone is the weekly quiz night. It's often difficult for new owners to keep the buzz going in a bar and once they have become more established maybe they'll get some more buzz and atmosphere back into the place
Its very hard to eat out in Samoens if you haven't booked but this little pub does great burgers . The choice is not large but the food is good .The staff and friendly and the service is quick. The cocktail menu is not bad either.
Just on the outskirts of Samoens village (3-5 min walk) serving local and imported beers including Guiness, showing main sporting events and serving snacks and their double fried chips are the best!!
This is the best bar in Samoens. Friendly and helpful staff in a fun Irish bar. We spent an afternoon here watching France play Ireland - great atmosphere and good craic.

A group of us watched the six nations matches and there was a great apres ski atmosphere regardless of who was playing!
Good pub for an after ski drink. Friendly staff. Offer food but we declined that, but supposed to be good!
