Hanratty's Bar,Crossmaglen

Hanratty's Bar sits on Newry Street in Crossmaglen, a South Armagh market town close to the Ring of Gullion and long associated with Gaelic football through Crossmaglen Rangers. It functions as an everyday local rather than a themed venue, pouring draught stout and ales and registered as a food business alongside its bar trade. Crossmaglen's pubs have a name locally for traditional music sessions, and Hanratty's sits among that small cluster of bars around the town's market square. The room is plain and unfussy, serving regulars and passing visitors to the border country town rather than chasing a tourist crowd. It is one of a handful of independent bars left on Newry Street, trading under its long-standing name.
