An File Bar in Westport

An File Bar (the poet)* in Westport, Ireland, was our favorite eatery when we visited Ireland in April 2022. After our first lunch there, we couldn’t wait to return and did so several times. The traditional Irish pub is on the Octagon in the heart of Westport in County Mayo. It is a favorite of locals, but visitors like us also drop in for BL&D. The food is traditional Irish pub grub made from fresh and locally sourced ingredients. The menu is brief but covers the basics. The full-service bar serves Guinness (and other beer), wine, and spirits. The menu covers the basics of Irish cuisine. OUR FAVORITES — --Bangers and mash served with onion gravy and tasty red cabbage --Vegetable soup and brown bread (I could swim in the soup and live forever on the hearty brown bread and Irish butter) --Chicken sandwich on brown bread was made with chunks of chicken breast, Irish cheddar and fresh greens --Green salad with panko-crumbed goat cheese (a meal in itself) --Seafood chowder – don’t pass this one up; I still crave the creamy soup filled with tidbits of cod, shrimp, and mussels --A glass of prosecco is perfect with either soup --Guinness is a match for everything --Always ask for brown bread; it is unforgettable, healthy, and hearty Stop into An File in Westport for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or a creamy Guinness. You’ll be glad you did. *This memory was inspired by family traveling in Ireland and eating at An file Bar Westport. We are so jealous!
