Stoop your head
About
Stoop Your Head, perched on Skerries’ west‑facing harbour, is Ireland’s oldest gastropub and has been family‑run since the early 1900s. Over half a century of history blends traditional Irish hospitality with a modern gastro‑pub feel, creating a venue that feels both timeless and contemporary. The restaurant boasts a stunning waterfront view, with its interior warmly lit by historic décor and a recently renovated courtyard that’s perfect for al‑fresco dining. Whether you sit at the bar or in the cosy indoor space, guests can enjoy the sea breeze while sampling locally sourced dishes. The menu highlights classic Irish seafood—think creamy chowder or fresh cod fritto—alongside hearty stews and a selection of gluten‑free options. Families appreciate the kids’ menu and the welcoming atmosphere, making it ideal for both a relaxed brunch and a celebratory dinner. With a dedicated booking page available, guests can reserve a table up to a month in advance, but walk‑ins are also welcome when space allows. The free‑wifi, friendly service, and stunning harbour backdrop make Stoop Your Head a memorable culinary destination in Ireland.
