An Droichead Beag, Dingle

One of Dingle’s best known pubs, An Droichead Beag (or An Droicead Beag in old Irish) meaning ‘The Little Bridge’, is housed in a historic building that dates back to the 1700s.

Over the years the venue has transformed from what was originally a butchers, bar, sweet shop and milking parlour to a popular traditional Irish music pub hosting the likes of The Hot House Flowers, Dolores Keane, Nigel Kennedy, Seamus Begley, The Coronas, and many more. It soon became known as one of the top traditional Irish music bars in the country, and it retains that reputation today.

We continue to cherish the tradition of “An Droichead Beag”, where the best of local traditional musicians play nightly, and a good pint can be enjoyed by the open fire. With the addition of a fairy-lit courtyard and beautifully refurbished cosy nooks, corners, and snugs, there has been even more charm added to this much-loved Dingle spot. Currently the only late night venue in Dingle with club that opens till late on weekends and most recently the venue has hosted private functions including Wedding Day 2 celebrations.
