Gannons Bar & Restaurant has been recommended by The Michelin eating out in pubs 2009, guide.

JJ Gannon’s is an award winning little gem, set in a beautiful old traditional building dating back to 1838. A haven of urban serenity, which contrasts dramatically with the hustle and bustle of Main Street, Ballinrobe.

The Pub is divided into two main rooms, “The Red Room” to the rear of the building with stunning views of the Tourmakeay and Connemara Mountains is warm and inviting and exudes tones of reds and pinks, which contrast beautifully with the modern off white leather high backed chairs. The “Wine Bar” on the other hand manages to retain the cosy traditional charm of the Irish Country Pub and at the same time embraces the bright crisp ambiance of the wine/cafe bar. Enjoy a wonderfully creamy pint of Guinness, a glass of champagne or simply a great cup of coffee with a homemade biscuit surrounded by decor which is warm and inviting with a traditional large stone fireplace surrounded by deep leather couch seating. The bar has a cosy snug or “19th hole” which can be reserved as a private hideaway with its own bar and seats 6 to 8 people.
