Was instantaneously smitten with this place and the 3rd gen Owens that was the barkeep the night I came in.
I had found out about this place because I was on the Game of Thrones Door tour and they have Door#5.
The Door itself is incredible and well worth the visit, but more importantly, this pub is very old school Irish and you will legit feel like you stepped back in time!
Terry, the 3rd gen Owens, running it when I came in, was so incredibly gracious to not only share the story behind their door, but shared the amazing family history behind the pub including his grandfather who started it! The building it is in was built in 1852 as well...so if you are a history nerd like me, you will love it for that fact alone!
They have a great draught beer selection and I was so happy to grab a very reasonably priced pint and sit in front of the fireplace (yes, they have a fireplace!) on a very chilly Limavady evening and chat w/some of locals.
If I ever find myself in County Derry again, I will be making a beeline for this place! read more
