Covey's Irish Pub - Samoëns

The Irish magic has sadly gone in Coveys since the change of ownership, also gone is the weekly quiz night. It's often difficult for new owners to keep the buzz going in a bar and once they have become more established maybe they'll get some more buzz and atmosphere back into the place

Just on the outskirts of Samoens village (3-5 min walk) serving local and imported beers including Guiness, showing main sporting events and serving snacks and their double fried chips are the best!!

This used to be a typical Irish pub abroad. A fun atmosphere, a good range of beers with a small but well done menu. Oh and owned and run by a couple of Irish gents. It's clearly changed hands, still a good selection of beers and Guinness is still on. The vibe is now more local, but still a mix of tourists, locals and workers. It's not a big criticism of the new place, staff are friendly, beer is fine. It just doesn't feel like an Irish pub. The sign has already changed, maybe the name will change as well.

Myself in a group of 8 friends age 30 stayed a 20 minute walk away from the bar. We were able to watch the midweek football. Lots of drinks to choose from although they are a bit pricey but so is most places in the area. We had a burger one night which was lovely. We visited 3 of the 5 nights we were there. Only downside is a few of the boys behind the bar have a chip on their shoulder but nothing to worry about. Try the "Irish car bomb" shot. Would recommend for ages 20-40 as there isn't many other options if you want a good p**s up

Spent a few days based in Samoens and visited Coveys frequently! The owners Shane & Bunty run a fantastic pub supported by the excellent bar staff especially L1 and L2! We ate the famous burgers one night which were excellent and the Guinness is really good! Watch out for those shots though - have a habit of creeping up on you! Hope to return one day!
