Hidden gem: The secret pub in Ireland only open on Thursdays
Recently, I spent a week in a Bunk Campers’ campervan, traveling around Ireland trying to find the most unique and interesting things around the country.
My trip eventually led me to Jim O’ The Mills, a pub in Tipperary hidden in a family’s home, which only opens on Thursday nights. People from all over the country — and all over the world! — travel to Upperchurch, Co. Tipperary to meet Jim and his family and experience the magic of the Jim O’ The Mills experience.
The idea is that Jim O’ The Mills “calls to you”, and you arrive at the Mills’ household when it has called to you. It called to me when I found myself at the Donaghmore Famine Workhouse with the amazing tour guide & historian Michael Creagh and his dog Lily (who loved my dog Millie!), and Michael told me all about the hidden pub with some of the best music in the country that only opens once a week.
