Maccarthy in Castletownbere

What a lovely lovely bar, made special by the owner/staff and also the friendliness of the locals. The singer and his lovely partner.Thank you so much for making us feel so welcome. The rendition of Caladonia was beautiful, I sincerely hope we get back. John and Lynne (Scotland)😘😘

We felt welcome over there, lovely experience ✨

Did you know you can have coffee in a pub? We discovered it on a rainy Monday morning and were warmly welcomed by the pub owner, caretaker, and Herbie. The patriarch of a family of three, he watches over thirsty souls. Highly recommended!

Lovely traditional pub in Castletownbere

Stopped off for something light before heading to Dursey Island. Great spot and food fantastic.

Historic pub - excellent beer and a non-touristy atmosphere - Dr. Aidan MacCarthy of the British Air Force was born here in 1913, captured by the Japanese during WW2 and survived the atomic bombing of Nagasaki.

Very Good story but food was ok

Realy nice owner, let us sleep in the backyard with our tents. Food and Guinness was blessed.

Have been coming to Macs every summer for the better part of my life now and I can say that every time is so special for us. There is always a story to be heard and such inspiration discussions to be had, about the region and about the bar’s history. The fresh crab salad & the tuna melts are my favorite ✨

Food was reasonable, with a little bit of lettuce. Could have had a few more leaves. Sanitary dated, for ladies up a few flights of stairs, through rather dark corridors, could not find a light switch, but found one with a window. Downstairs a disabled toilet, averagely clean.
