McReynolds Bar

McReynolds Bar has traded from 127 Main Street in Dungiven since 1898, making it one of the longer-established public houses in the Sperrins area of County Londonderry. The bar keeps a traditional single-room layout, serving draught stout and ale to a mainly local trade rather than running a food-led operation. It opens seven days: 11:30am to 11:30pm Monday to Saturday, and 12:30pm to 10:30pm on Sunday, in a town that sits on the A6 road between Derry and Belfast. Unlike a number of Sperrins pubs that have added restaurant space or been bought into small hospitality groups over the years, McReynolds has kept its original single-bar footprint and independent, family ownership through more than a century of trade. It has no dedicated website, operating through a Facebook page and word of mouth instead, and represents the kind of unbranded rural bar that has become less common on Main Streets across the region.
