ANYONE WHO’S EVER been to Electric Picnic will tell you that it’s an exhilarating yet utterly exhausting experience.

So here’s a pretty badly-kept secret: Many festival-goers and people working on-site trot over to Stradbally to unwind for an hour or two, have a quiet pint, or watch the match.

Of course, not everyone goes to a music festival to have a quiet pint, but if you do need one, here’s where to go:

Stradbally’s Main Street has a rake of pubs and at a mere 10 minute walk from the campsite, easy to reach for a quick break from the hustle and bustle.

Dunne’s

A hub of live music in its own right, Dunne’s is a great place to grab a quick pint during your downtime.

One that’s always jammed full of EP heads (see above), Napper Tandy’s even have their very own line-up of music and entertainment. Think of it as an extra stage.
