Traditional Irish Music Pub Session

Household goods, hardware, groceries and even coffins were stocked behind the panelled wood and smoke stained veneer.
An teach tábhairne – The public house was just what it says on the tin – a place for all to gather, do business, gather supplies and mark life’s passing. In more recent times the bar has become more hospitality based (a place of celebration) with good food, music, teas, coffees. Some offer overnight accommodation.
