Downey'S Bar, Rathfriland Description
Welcome to P Downey's Wine & Spirits, Rathfriland, Co DownвҖҰ Or more affectionately known as DowneyвҖҷs or SarsвҖҷвҖҰ Since 1887 pints have been being pulled behind the bar by four generations of DowneyвҖҷs, making it the longest family run business in Rathfriland and in fact the longest family run pub in South Down. Whether you fancy a quiet drink and chat over at the fire, or pull a stool up to the bar for a pint of the black stuff and a bit of craic with Sars or our friendly bar staff, one thing is for sure, you will always feel welcome in DowneyвҖҷsвҖҰ
We love our sports in Downey's so pull up a pew, whether it be the 6 Nations, All Ireland Championship, Premier League etc, if there's a game you want to see it we'll be tuned in.
Our lounge area is perfect for any private functions you wish to hold, birthdays, anniversaries, christenings, group meetings or Bar Mitvahs! A small holding area in the back is perfect for outside catering to be stored before your big event. If you need any help planning your event re entertainment, catering etc we are always happy to lend a hand. . .
