Roden Pl, Dundalk

Proudly Serving The Heart of Town For Over 25 Years McGeough’s Bar & Restaurant opened it’s doors on 12th July 2000, right in the vibrant centre of town and from day one, we’ve been more than just a place to eat and drink. We’ve been a local institution, a familiar meeting point, and a home away from home for locals and visitors alike.

Over the years, we’ve poured thousands of pints, plated countless meals, and raised a glass to everything from casual catch-ups to life’s biggest celebrations. Now in 2025, McGeough’s stands as a cornerstone of the community, still family-owned, still fiercely passionate about quality, and still at the centre of it all. Whether it’s your first visit or your hundredth, we’re proud to offer something that feels timeless yet always fresh. Here’s to 25 years of food, laughter, and unforgettable memories and to many more to come.

mo chara

19 Roden Pl, Dundalk

after years of talking, we set about recreating what the Irish pub means to a community and began building something that has turned into a bit of an icon here in Dundalk a story best told over a stubby Mo Chara—which means ‘my friend’ in Irish is still used on occasion around the town as a casual way to greet your mate. We thought this was the perfect name for a pub started by old friends to make loads of new ones. Opened in July 2021, Mo Chara is well on its way to achieving that iconic status we dreamt of with people making the pilgrimage from all across the country.
