Shebeen makes the Michelin grade for pub dining

WITH its traditional thatch and white-wash, the Sheebeen in Westport, Co Mayo, looks the picture of a quaint Irish pub, but its charms don’t stop there.

According to the latest Michelin guide to pub grub, it is one of the best pubs in Ireland to eat in.

The Sheebeen is one of 17 pubs here that feature in the Michelin Eating Out in Pubs 2009 guide to Britain and Ireland.
