While Naas has an abundance of pubs, here are my top 5 to visit. Get yourself into town and soak up the atmosphere. Pub Crawl in Naas anyone?

1. Hayden's

With its warm ambiance, Hayden's is a place where the young and old meet for a few pints. It is a great pub to sit up and watch the match, knowing good company is around. This place is full of authentic traditional memorabilia. You could just spend hours looking at the walls alone. Make sure next time you’re passing by, drop in.

9 Poplar Square, Naas, Co. Kildare.

2. Kavanagh's

Kavanagh’s beer garden and comfortable seating makes this place a relaxing and fun environment to enjoy great drink, food and entertaining music. This is a perfect establishment for a few drinks with your mates and enjoy a nice selection of grub. With impeccable customer service in a delightful atmosphere, this pub is one not to be missed!

10 S Main St, Naas East, Naas, Co. Kildare.

3. 33 South Main

This modern establishment is a favourite with the young and the young at heart. It is often a facility for local and Irish bands to perform during weekends. This pub has a great selection of food, drink and night entertainment.

33 S Main St, Naas East, Naas, Co. Kildare.

4. Fletcher's

Known for having the best pint of Guinness in the town, this charming little pub in the centre is a hit. One can spend a lovely afternoon having a few quiet pints and conversate with locals. If your looking for something entertaining on a Thursday evening, drop in from 19:30 for some traditional music sessions. The ceoil agus craic awaits.

13 N Main St, Naas East, Naas, Co. Kildare.

5. McCormack's

Finally, it's McCormack's pub. With its large outdoor space for gatherings of friends and cosy inside areas, McCormack’s is the place to be. Lots of screens to enjoy sporting events. They now serve pizza, cooked fresh from their large pizza oven. No one can say no to homemade pizza!

Every element of this sunshine-packed recipe is essential, and will give you the ultimate bite: the crisp lettuce, the nutty toasted ground rice, the tangy and spicy pickled radishes … The only element I would suggest mixing up is the protein. If you don’t eat pork, feel free to use chicken mince, finely chopped raw prawns or even a vegetarian mince or tofu substitute instead – all work well.…

When I was a vegetarian, I was for many years presented with variations on rice salad. However, they always seemed to miss the mark not just in taste but mostly in texture. I couldn’t get onboard, until I tried a Thai rice salad, where the rice is crisp (and often ground up). It’s a thing of pure joy, with crunchy textures, fresh flavours and the right amount of punch. Play around with the…

This quick, post-work way of cooking mussels is greater than the sum of its time. It takes less than 30 minutes from start to finish, yet still manages to achieve an intense depth of flavour. Serve it how you wish, but I think a fresh, crusty baguette is key, to mop up all those juices, as is a sturdy napkin to tuck into your collar to preserve your clothes from the almost inevitable splash-back.…
