McGinleys Bar

Mc Ginleys Bar is a wonderful old-style pub with an open turf fire. One of the longest-established music pubs in Letterkenny, McGinleys has live music from Wednesday through to Saturday night, including traditional music on a Wednesday evening. The bar is a fantastic place for quiet drinks during the week or lively entertainment at the weekend.

Great pub: well-run, clean and safe where the atmosphere is always buzzing and the craic good. Without doubt one of the best bars in town and none of that super pub, fake rubbish. Dark and dingy downstairs during the day for a quiet one, lively and atmospheric upstairs at night for a big night out. Great beer garden and double decker bus kitchen to provide you with pizza! A must-visit for a decent night out in LK!
