The Attic Bar

The freshest bar in the area. Bringing something completely new to Swords, the bar incorporates eclectic decor, comic book/movie artwork on the walls, board games, classic arcade machines and cozy couches. Ditched the idea of the same typical beers and gone for the craft/world beer generation. Food includes some tasty pizza, which you can enjoy with a tasty pint or cocktail.

We really enjoy drinking in this cozy bar. Selection of IPAs is excellent and they now have wow burger available which is great given you have to order food with your beer. Staff really friendly and social distancing amongst customers well managed.

Swords Castle

Reviewed By lorcanireland2020

Ruined by an industrial walk way around the internal walls signed off by the Office of Public Works and LCC costing a small fortune of tax payers money(millions) and installed by engineers who got the measurements wrong and is only accessible on half the internal wall.(they fecked up) Brown envelopes no doubt involved ! This is a crying shame and has ruined the appearance and this magnificent Palace where the Bishop of Dublin resided many moons ago. Should be removed , money repaid, metal walk way removed and a wooden structure should be installed in its place...this attempt to marry the old with the new does not work at all! IT'S DREADFUL!
