Armagh (/ɑːrˈmɑː/ ar-MAH; from Irish Ard Mhacha /ɑɾd̪ˠˈwaxə/, meaning 'Macha's height') is the county town of County Armagh and a city in Northern Ireland, as well as a civil parish. It is the ecclesiastical capital of Ireland – the seat of the Archbishops of Armagh, the Primates of All Ireland for both the Roman Catholic Church and the Church of Ireland. In ancient times, nearby Navan Fort (Eamhain Mhacha) was a pagan ceremonial site and one of the great royal capitals of Gaelic Ireland. Today, Armagh is home to two cathedrals (both named after Saint Patrick) and the Armagh Observatory, and is known for its Georgian architecture.

We found this place during a stop in Armagh on our way to Enniskillen on 1st October - we had a beer and spoke with the Jo the bar Lady explaining our trip and that we were destined for Derry after Enniskillen. She advised us to check as they were expecting tighter covid lockdown restrictions there. When we got to Enniskillen we called the Derry Hotel only to be advised that they were closing and cancelling our booking (at no cost to us). So we rebooked and spent our last night in Armagh and called into the bar again to thank Jo - Unfortunately she wasn't there so we asked one of the other staff to thank her for us. We had a pint and moved on to a restaurant called Uluru just around the corner. Having had our first drink - two pints turned up at our table and we said to the waitress - we didn't order them - but she said no they're from Jo at the Hole in the Wall. We never saw her but - thanks Jo a really nice surprise - hopefully we'll be back one day.
