Donoghue’s Irish Pub

Open Monday, Thursday, Friday & Saturday

Come in, we’re open.

Donoghue’s, where the heart of Cashel beats in every pour and every story shared across the bar. A true Irish pub rooted in tradition, we’re all about warm welcomes, great craic, and the kind of hospitality you can’t bottle.

Nestled in the shadow of the Rock of Cashel, Donoghue’s has long been a favourite for locals and visitors alike — a place where pints are perfectly poured, music fills the air, and strangers leave as friends. Whether you're after a quiet pint by the stove or a lively evening of traditional Irish Music, you’ll find it here.

Open Monday, Thursday, Friday & Saturday. Doors open at 6pm, earlier on Saturday at 12pm. Traditional Irish Music on Mondays, with live music on most other nights, generally kicking off around 8pm. All welcome.
