Paint a picture of an authentic and traditional Irish pub experience - and you’ll probably draw something like the scene that awaits you at The Farmer’s Home in Strabane.
A lit fire, no TVs and a bit of craic from owner John McGowan is what awaits you - before you might make your way to one of the old rooms perfect for pulling up a stool with your mates and escape to a time before wifi and smartphones.
There is debate amongst the Strabane community about when this pub first opened, with legend having it that King James stopped off for a nightcap on his way to the Siege of Derry in 1690.
