West Cork is a fantastic place for walkers, and we’re delighted to be able to cater for fairly large groups in the bar. Advance notice is helpful if you’re travelling in a large group, and with notice, we’ll be able to put together a package, tailored to your group’s needs, at a very reasonable price.

We’re taking bookings for tables in the bar downstairs, and reservations in the Pluais Umha restaurant above the bar.
No bookings are required for the playground opposite the bar, but it’s sure to be a big hit on the day!
Restaurant Offers for March and April

It’s been a long, cold winter in West Cork, but the sun has been splitting the stones over the last few days, and we’re hoping that that’s a sign of good things to come!
Over the winter, we’ve been working on a new menu for the Pluais Umha restaurant, based – as ever – on locally-sourced ingredients.
Just to give you a hint of what’s on offer, we think you’ll enjoy the mushrooms stuffed with Gubbeen cheese, the pork fillet stuffed with apples and Clonakilty black pudding, and the Bantry Bay prawns. If you have room after that, we think you’ll agree that our new chocolate and raspberry brownies are really quite special.
A sample menu is available on our restaurant page. And in case you need any more persuading, we’re offering some great deals for March and April.
Starter, Main Course, Tea/ Coffee €19.95
Main Course, Dessert, Tea/Coffee €19.95
Starter, Main Course, Dessert, Tea/Coffee €24.95

Allihies Copper Mine Museum
01/04/2012 by ·
Above the village, just a short walk from the bar, you’ll be able to see the distinctive image of the mine’s remaining chimney stacks. There’s a fine walk across the mountain towards Eyeries, but – even if you don’t get that far – the views out across the Atlantic towards the Skelligs are striking on a fine day.
And, if you walk in the other direction, down towards Ballydonegan Strand, you’ll find a newer, but equally inspiring, monument to the hard work and energy of the community here.
A visit there is an absorbing way to pass an afternoon, and the museum, art gallery, and café, are great additions to the life of the village.
To find out more, you can visit the museum’s website at http://acmmm.ie
And of course, you’ll find more pictures and maps featuring the history of the mines here in O’Neill’s Bar, when you call in to visit us here.
