Welcome

There is always a warm and friendly atmosphere in The Shanty Bar. The interior dates from 1940, which has been unspoiled over the years.

The small pub is tucked away in the village of Ballyfinnane and is the perfect place to step back in time or just call for a sneaky pint if you’re in the locality. It is also an ideal place to stop if touring the Wild Atlantic Way on route to see the Dingle Peninsula, allowing you to take in the beautiful scenery along the way.

We look forward to welcoming you to the Shanty Bar and can ensure it is definitely an old-style pub that you need to see for yourself.
