About

Immerse yourself in Millar's Bar, a cherished gem nestled in the heart of Ballycarry since its establishment in 1754. Upon arrival you will be greeted by a captivating mural adorning the gable end wall, depicting a lively fiddle player alongside the spirited phrase, "The craic is mighty." This sets the tone for the warm and welcoming atmosphere that defines Millar's Bar. Whether you're in search of a refreshing pint, the excitement of live sports by a crackling fireplace, or a taste of hearty traditional cuisine, Millar's Bar promises an unforgettable experience. The menu at 'The Kitchen' boasts an array of mouthwatering options, from chicken, steak, or vegetarian burgers to tempting lite bites like chicken wings and cheesy garlic bread. You can ndulge in main dishes ranging from chargrilled sirloin steak to crispy battered cod, homemade lasagna, and more, including their delicious 12-inch homemade pizzas and irresistible desserts. For the pinnacle of dining, savour Millar's special—a tantalising fresh lobster pan-fried in garlic butter, sourced directly from their very own boat, 'The Manannan', subject to availability. Enjoy the charm of outdoor seating, perfect for soaking up the sunshine while relishing your meal. Families are warmly welcomed, with a dedicated kids' menu featuring favourites like chicken strips and fish fingers, accompanied by complimentary ice cream. Furry companions are embraced in the front bar and side lounge, ensuring a truly inclusive atmosphere. And for the latest updates on our lively entertainment schedule, be sure to follow us on Facebook. Take a moment to also admire the plaque on the outside wall honoring the esteemed Millar family, former proprietors of this beloved establishment and learn about James Orr, the celebrated Ulster Weaver Poet, who once graced these hallowed halls with his presence. As you leave Millar's Bar, carry with you the warmth of good times shared and the spirit of Ulster-Scots tradition!
