Welcome to The Fiddler's Rest – A True Taste of Irish Tradition in Portglenone

Located on Main Street in the heart of Portglenone, The Fiddler's Rest invites locals and travellers alike to step into the warmth of a traditional Irish pub, where incredible food, drink, and hospitality await. Here, every detail has been thoughtfully crafted, from the handmade bar to the cosy fireplaces, to create an inviting experience rich with history and the spirit of local culture.

At The Fiddler's Rest, the food is at the heart of the experience. The menu is an ode to traditional Irish home-cooked meals, crafted with the finest local ingredients and tailored to offer something special for every taste, from casual lunches and evening plates to a selection of set dinners and buffet options.

The bar itself is a tribute to Irish craftsmanship, custom-built by a local artisan with hand-painted signs and exposed brickwork, creating an atmosphere that’s as distinct as it is welcoming. Our drinks menu offers a range of local brews, premium Irish whiskeys, and craft cocktails designed to pair perfectly with our traditional dishes. 

The Fiddler's Rest also boasts two lively beer gardens, each outfitted with multiple screens so you can catch live sports and enjoy the bustling atmosphere. Whether cheering on your favourite team or simply unwinding outdoors, our gardens offer cosy fireplaces and ample seating, making it the ideal setting for any occasion.

We welcome private parties and tour operator groups too!
