But MacCarthy's also plays it's role in the community. It is a meeting place for the local committees for the Dingle Races and the Goat Street Wren. Our local TD, Ceann Comhairle, Mr. John O'Donoghue, holds his monthly clinic by the fireplace in McCarthy's Backroom, on the second Friday of every month at 7.30pm. MacCarthy's Pub is Dingle's Best Venue with the finest of music and drama on show. Our mini-theatre at the rear of the pub has staged some of Ireland's great acts. Stars like Mundy, Luka Bloom, Mick Flannery, and John Spillane have recently played great nights in MacCarthy's. The cosy theatre holds in both the music and the atmosphere, as the musicians play away in the midst of the crowd. It is a truly special experience. Enjoy you pint(s) and cigarette in the SMOKING AREA , at the rear of the pub. (EXCEPT NIGHTS OF GIGS)
