Welcome to MacCarthy's Pub
McCarthy's Pub is located at Upper Main Street, Dingle, Co. Kerry. The Pub has been in the McCarthy family since the early 1800's. It has proved popular as a social establishment since that time and still maintains it's original charm. The Pub interior has changed through the years as some of our images show, while on the outside only the colours have changed. We hope you enjoy our site, and please do send us an e-mail, anytime !
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, Minister for Justice, Mr. John O'Donoghue, holds his monthly clinic by the fireplace in MacCarthy's Backroom.
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 and Paddy Casey 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.
