McConnells ofDoagh

McConnells of Doagh is a family-run country pub and restaurant on the main street of the village, built around a public bar, a separate snug, a beer garden and a function suite called Alexanders that holds up to 250 people for weddings and parties. The bar has a pool table, darts and a jukebox alongside six televisions for sport, and food is served alongside drinks rather than as a separate restaurant operation. The pub is wheelchair accessible throughout. Doagh sits between Ballyclare and Templepatrick in rural South Antrim, and McConnells functions as the village's main social venue, hosting everything from Sunday lunches to evening functions in the same building. Ownership has stayed within the same family, and the pub is run day to day as a single site rather than as part of a wider group, keeping its bar and function trade under one roof rather than splitting services across separate premises.
