The Maghera Inn
About
The Maghera Inn is a celebrated family‑run pub and restaurant located in the heart of County Down, Northern Ireland. With a heritage that spans almost two centuries, it offers a warm, unpretentious atmosphere where locals and visitors alike can enjoy hearty Irish fare, a wide selection of drinks and live music in a relaxed setting. The cosy bar around a roaring log‑fire, the well‑kept outdoor terrace overlooking the Mourne Mountains, and an interior that blends modern comfort with traditional charm make it an ideal spot for catching up over a pint or celebrating a special occasion. When you arrive you’ll be greeted by friendly staff who welcome guests of all backgrounds – families, friends, couples, and even solo travelers – and who take pride in delivering fast, efficient service. The menu showcases locally sourced ingredients – from tender beef and lamb to fresh sea‑food and delightful desserts – paired with a carefully curated drinks list that emphasizes Guinness and other fine Irish ales, as well as an array of spirits and cocktails. The Inn’s commitment to genuine hospitality is reflected in its convenient online reservation system for up to nine guests, with a simple phone booking option for larger groups (groups of ten or more require a £10 per person deposit). The combination of great food, top‑quality drinks, and a friendly, family‑friendly vibe ensures that The Maghera Inn remains a favourite destination for both locals and tourists in the greater Newcastle and surrounding areas.
