Railway Tavern in Drogheda

It was one of those proper stormy November nights in Drogheda. Wind howling, rain coming at you sideways — the kind that soaks you no matter how you try to dodge it. My commuter train from Dublin was late (of course), and I was standing there at the station getting absolutely drenched, dreaming of somewhere warm, dry… and a decent pint of Guinness. The Railway Tavern was on my way, and at around 23:20 — dangerously close to last orders — it felt less like a choice and more like survival instinct. I walked in, leaving a respectable wet trail behind me on what looked like a freshly mopped floor (sorry about that). Jenny was behind the bar. I asked for a pint of Guinness. She took one look at me — water still dripping off — and said, “A quick pint.” Fair enough. I said no problem, finished it in about two heroic sips, and went straight back up for another — slightly less life-or-death this time. Since that night, I’ve been a regular. It’s a lovely pub: great service, great atmosphere, live music, and most importantly — great people. And on a night like that, it felt less like a pub and more like a rescue operation.

Lovely cosy little pub. Dog friendly with open fire in the winter. Good pint of Guinness too.

You guys!!! Thank you so much for feeling so welcome. This place is so beautiful. I was speechless. For tourists a hidden gem.

Just started going here for coffee ☕️ so nice place to enjoy your coffee and treats . Or takeaway like me mostly.

Never had the food. We only go for the Guinness. Best pint this side of the boyne.
