Mooney’s Pub, An Rinn, Dungarvan, Co. Waterford, X35X685

A legendary Irish pub famed for its tradition and musical heritage has hit the market. 

Mooney's Pub in the Gaeltacht region of An Rinn, just outside Dungarvan, Co Waterford, is a sixth-generation family-run bar steeped in the traditions of sean-nós singing and Irish music.

Over the decades, it has welcomed the likes of the Clancy Brothers, the Dubliners, the Fureys, and countless other performers, becoming a cultural hub for musicians, poets, and storytellers alike.

Perched on an elevated site with views across Dungarvan Bay to the Comeragh Mountains and Helvick Head, this Gaeltacht gem comes with a full seven-day licence and a "valuable dance licence".

Inside, it features a bar, snug, lounge, spirit store, kitchen, keg room, and more, all on a generous 0.62-acre plot. The adjoining four-bedroom family home has its own entrance, garden, and spacious living areas. The price is available upon application.
