Nancy's in Ardara

Spectacular pub, interiors that make you feel at home. Family atmosphere and fantastic people. I ate the best salmon ever here.

Best place for food in Adara Inside is a nice little bar and side room bit like your granny’s parlour and good mix of locals and tourists Nice menu they even serve local oysters Nice place to have a couple of pints after your meal

Such an adorable Irish pub, lots of cute small cozy rooms- I had the loaded fries which was perfect on a cold evening.

My wife and I had the opportunity to have lunch at Nancy’s while we were on a tour of Ireland with Mark Doherty’s Connect the Dots. Mark told us this bar/restaurant had been owned by the same family for seven generations. What a treat this was, the history, atmosphere, food and Guiness were wonderful. I wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy the company of the regulars.

I didn’t expect to encounter such a great restaurant in a small town in Ireland. The staff, boss and customers in the store are all extremely humane. The Nanxi restaurant, which has been around for more than 200 years, offers the most authentic Irish cuisine and local craft beer. Who says Irish food is not delicious? ! The traditional beef stew is delicious! Grandma’s apple pie and potatoes are also delicious! Cheap and delicious!

Loved our pint at Nancys. A very wholesome, authentic feel to the pub. Highly recommend after a trip to Maghera beach !

Lovely Guinness cake 🤤 No food on Wednesday though

Called in on our way past for lunch. Food is very good and very reasonable. Plenty of character. Staff friendly and helpful.

We had been looking forward to returning to Nancy's but were so disappointed. We have been coming here for decades, though haven't been since before Covid. We visited here to have lunch and a couple of drinks; however, the experience was lacklustre at best. First the positives, it is still an intriguing building, worth a quick visit, and the staff are very friendly. However, the food was just ok, I sent my fish back as it was undercooked, close to being raw. Secondly, the Guinness was appalling. I confess to having many lovely pints here over the years but couldn't during it. This happened on two occasions. I noticed a couple of other people struggling with theirs also, and they agreed the Guinness was awful It was served in the same time as a lager, some of the pints were concave rather than convex and were full of bubbles - a sign of badly stored/served Guinness. This was a pub known for its Good Guinness, sadly no more. It's a shame how the standards have slipped so badly, I hope to visit again next year and that things will have improved.

Historic McHughs’ known as Nancy’s this 8th generation bar is like walking into an old Irish home. Complete with uneven character floors, quaint little rooms to dine in and an atmospheric front bar, this place is like eating and drinking in an old Irish home. The staff are very welcoming, helpful and efficient hosts! The food is local, of high quality and so delicious that we ate there 2 nights in a row.
