• Hole in the Wall |
• Courthouse Bar, Lurgan |
Hole in the Wall has one of, if not the longest bar counter in Ireland. The venue is rumoured to be haunted by a ghost called "Wilfy" and is said to be the home of a parrot named Casper, who is the pub's mascot. There is even a Facebook page dedicated to Casper. Back in 1615, the building was originally used as a jail, so it is perhaps not surprising that locals refer to it as the haunted pub. Of course, supernatural spirits are not the only type of sipirts you will find at this bar, as there is also a large selection of gin, vodka, whiskey and brandy served.

• Mc Conville's Portadown
This bar dates back to the early 1800s. Located on Portadown's main street, the venue is oozing tradition. There are lots of private seating areas in the pub with buttons to call staff for refills. The 10 original snugs quickly fill up, so be sure to secure a spot early in the evening. |
There are lots of other great pubs and bars to visit in Armagh, but the five listed above are certainly some of the must-visit ones. Make sure to visit Basil Sheils Restaurant Armagh.
