What to Do in Westport
Matt Molloy’s
Probably Westport’s most-famous pub. The proprietor, Matt Molloy, is a flautist with one of Ireland’s most famous traditional-music bands, The Chieftains. Regular trad sessions take place in the ‘back bar’, with appreciative patrons hupping along beside a crackling fire – often with Matt himself supplying the airs. The second Yard Bar out the back is a popular concert venue.
McGing’s Westport’s oldest pub
McGing’s, Westport’s oldest pub, is popular with visitors, blow-ins and locals alike. Step through the welcoming blue and yellow façade and you could be met with a jazz band, a folk band, a quiet scene with a roaring fire, a loud pub with dancing locals, a tray of free sandwiches or a DJ in an ice-cream van. Or some strange and wonderful combination of all of the above.
