In the heart of Castlerea, County Roscommon is McGourtys' Bar, a family run pub offering a friendly atmosphere. From morning coffee to nights of great entertainment, beers and wines, live music, with excellent customer service and hospitality.

McGourty's is a family run traditional public house set in the heart of Castlerea, Co. Roscommon. Castlerea is on N60, and is the gateway for visiting Galway and Connemara, Sligo, Mayo, Croagh Patrick, Cliffs of Moher, Westport House, Knock Shrine and much more.

McGourty's Bar has swiftly become a local favourite for drinks while enjoying the roaring log fire in the winter and the courtyard beer garden in the summer. It has been nominated as local bar finalist for two years running, with the emphasis being on comfort, value and entertainment. McGourty's Bar is open from early morning for coffee, latte, mocha, until late for drinks, beer and cocktails.

McGourty's Bar invites guests to call in for a chat and a drink while relaxing in the charming bar, or to get together in the Meeting Venue which can be used for regular or spontaneous meetings. There is live music every weekend and traditional Irish sessions. For more entertainment updates, please check out our website or Facebook page for current and scheduled events.

McGourty's Bar prides itself on its personal and friendly service and provides bright and airy surroundings, with great atmosphere and service, where you can meet a mix of locals and visitors. All the staff are committed to providing excellent customer service, with top class hospitality to ensure all guests have a most memorable visit. Be sure to come back, to see the new friends undoubtedly made.

Join the fun in the bar, or get involved in live sporting events on the big screen TV, including horse racing, premier league soccer, gaelic football, hurling and rugby. It's where many settle to watch sports and then join in lively debates on headline sporting news.

Specialising in hosting parties or functions, if planning a big night out think of McGourty's Bar. All occasions catered for, including birthdays, private parties and fundraising events. Finger food is available for pre-booked parties.

Coach groups welcome and ample parking is available. Entry to the bar is level for ease of access. We look forward to meeting everyone. A warm Irish welcome awaits all from McGourty's Bar.
