Pubs Ireland. Food and Drink. Entertainment. Sport. Accomodation

The Harbour Bar is one of the most well known, oldest and storied bars in Ireland. Over the last century, the bar has been home to a who�¢ï¿½ï¿½s who of both an international and national assortment of writers, film makers, actors and musicians. The likes of Brendan Behan, Peter O�¢ï¿½ï¿½Toole, Neil Jordan, Lawrence Oliver, Katherine Hepburn to U2, Bono, Sinead O�¢ï¿½ï¿½Conner, Def Leopard, Mary Coughlin, Shane MacGowan, Jim Sheridan, Colin Farrell and Irish artist Rasher to just name a few of the regulars. This third generation, traditional, family run pub has been in the O�¢ï¿½ï¿½Toole family since 1931. The bar itself dates back to the mid 1800�¢ï¿½ï¿½s.The Harbour Bar offers a truly authentic Irish pub experience as an antidote to the sterile atmosphere of some modern pubs (in the same tradition as Doheny & Nesbitts,Toners and O`Donoghues in Dublin). There is a traditional Irish band every week playing in the bar on Thursday and Saturday night�¢ï¿½ï¿½s from 10pm. The bar is the perfect venue for this type of event, with a diverse crowd, its original antiques and interesting brick-a-brac, accumulated over 80 years, by 3 generations of the O�¢ï¿½ï¿½Toole family! We also have a welcoming open fire burning in the winter �¢ï¿½ï¿½ surely there couldn�¢ï¿½ï¿½t be a more enjoyable way to spend an evening than in such a cosy setting with a pint of Guinness or a Hot Whiskey or two?
