About McGrory's

The Wild Atlantic at your table

McGrory's has fed and sheltered Inishowen visitors since 1924. Steps from Culdaff's Blue Flag beach and beside the legendary Malin Head, it is the kind of place that Donegal does better than anywhere else on earth.

The kitchen serves the freshest Donegal seafood and Irish produce, the bar pours an honest pint, and the Backroom has been putting world-class live music in front of audiences for decades. You stay because you cannot quite bring yourself to leave.

The kind of welcome that makes the drive worth it, every single time.

Food that earns the journey

Seasonal menus built around the finest Donegal produce. Fresh seafood landed nearby, trusted local suppliers, and a kitchen that takes genuine pride in every plate. Breakfast, lunch and dinner, seven days a week.

Fresh Donegal Seafood

Landed nearby and on the menu daily. Crab, prawns, and the freshest catch the Atlantic has to offer — cooked simply and served properly.

The Bar

An honest pint, a decent whiskey — including Doherty Irish Whiskey — and the kind of bar atmosphere that comes only from a century of getting it right.

Open daily from 12pm

Live Music

The Backroom. Legendary for a reason.

For decades, the Backroom at McGrory's has brought world-class musicians to the northwest of Ireland. Traditional Irish sessions, folk, rock, blues. The programme changes weekly but the atmosphere is always the same: unforgettable.

Named with intention. Made without compromise.
