STEP INTO CHRISTMAS, THE WAY YOU REMEMBER IT
Hide from the rain with an Irish coffee, grab a stool for a late-night session, or catch up with friends over cocktails that carry a story in every sip. Here, strangers become locals fast.
Christmas on Quay Street
The Latin Quarter does Christmas properly, and we’re right in the middle of it. Book a table for the festive season or take over the Penny Bar for your Christmas party.
Drinks That Speak for Themselves
Our drinks menu is built around bold Irish spirits, local ingredients, and a touch of creative rebellion. Whether it’s the poetic hit of Barry’s Tea syrup in The Poet’s Measure, or the sweet nostalgia of Bella’s Breakfast Martini these aren’t just drinks. They’re moments. Served neat.
Whether you’re celebrating or out for a quiet few, we’ll match your mood with something that tastes like it was made for it.
Live Music, Nightly
Real music, played live, every night of the week. Trad bangers, guilty pleasures and Christmas sessions to keep the craic going well into the night. Weekends turn it up a notch.
A Taste of Tradition
Our menu is a homage to Irish culinary classics. Seafood chowder with rustic soda bread, hearty stews and innovative takes on traditional dishes, all made fresh in-house with produce from local suppliers we know and trust. Pair it with a stout, a whiskey or a craft beer.
Bella’s Corner: A Taste of Home
Tucked just beside the bar and brimming with charm, Bella’s Corner is our tribute to the heart and soul of the Fitzgerald family. Bella’s from Clarinbridge, known locally for her wit, her warmth, and her marmalade. And now, that marmalade’s made its way into our bar – on the shelves, in a few of our serves, and always in our hearts. It’s a tribute to home comforts and timeless craft, the kind that never goes out of style.
Mick’s Snug: Where Stories Are Made
Mick’s Snug is more than just a quiet corner – it’s a legacy in wood and spirit. Named after Michael Senior Fitzgerald, a joiner by trade and the soul behind the space, it’s where generations of work, welcome, and well-earned pints meet. Pull up a stool, take in the craftsmanship, and share a few stories over a good pint. It’s the kind of snug where the walls hold memories, and the welcome is always warm.
Penny Bar – Your Private Corner
The Penny Bar is our private events space, intimate and full of quiet character. Ideal for Christmas parties, work get-togethers and catch-ups with your favourite people.
