Nancy's

MAIN STREET, ARDARA, Donegal

Publican's Licence (7-Day Ordinary)
The pub itself

Trading in Ardara for over 200 years. Run by the McHugh family for seven generations — the original Nancy was the great-great-great-great-grandmother of the present-day proprietors, Ann and Charles McHugh.

Seven generations of the same Donegal family. The building started as the family home with a single front bar; the pub gradually took over the whole house.

The room & the corner

Five or six low-ceilinged rooms, each different — the cumulative result of the pub absorbing the family home over generations. Filled with antiques, old toby jugs, and the kind of clutter that hasn't been curated since 1960.

What people come for

Local seafood is the kitchen's anchor — oysters, mussels, smoked salmon. No-fuss menu.

Regulars

A regular drop-in for travelling musicians. Touring trad players know to stop by Nancy's.
