Explore the Heart of Ireland’s Pub Culture

Westport is renowned for its friendly warmth, traditional tunes, and ancient pubs, making it the ideal choice for a pub tour. Our guided tour does more than simply order you a pint; it’s an in-depth experience into Ireland’s pub culture, where you will be introduced to warm locals, learn interesting stories, and experience some of the finest Irish drinks en route.

As opposed to a standard pub crawl, this is a laid-back and fun walking tour, where we go to carefully selected pubs famous for their charm, character, and amazing drinks. It’s the ideal combination of history, local flavours, and an irreplaceable atmosphere.

Step Inside Some of Ireland’s Coziest Pubs – A Taste of Irish Heritage

Our first stop is Pats Bar, one of the coziest pubs in Ireland. This isn’t just any pub—it’s where a famous Guinness advert was filmed, featuring Westport locals as actors. You’ll feel the history in every corner of this traditional Irish pub, with its roaring turf fire, warm wooden interiors, and friendly crowd.

There, we’ll invite you to experience Potion, traditional Irish moonshine that gives the taste of yesteryear. As you drink this uncommon beverage in front of the fire, you get a feel of what Irish pub life used to be like—all simple, inclusive, and rife with convivial company.

The Porter House Westport – Ireland’s Best Music Pub

Our adventure continues along Westport’s historic streets as we relate tall tales, legends, and behind-the-scenes stories from the town’s favorite drinking establishments.

Then we drop into The Porter House Westport, formally declared Ireland’s Best Music Pub. This fabled venue is the epicentre of live Irish music in Westport, where skilled musicians bring the pub alive with traditional ballads. There’s no finer way to experience the enchantment of an Irish pub than to the sound of a fiddle, a bodhrán drum, and a couple of lively reels circulating in the air.

Of course, no trip here is complete without trying some of the best local beers. We’ll treat you to a special Westport craft beer from Mescan Brewery. This Belgian-style beer is brewed at the base of Croagh Patrick, Ireland’s sacred mountain, by traditional methods that yield an unparalleled taste. If you like a rich, full-bodied stout or a refreshing, golden ale, this stop is a real indulgence for beer enthusiasts.

The Old Grain Store Westport – A Whiskey Enthusiast’s Paradise

For whiskey lovers, our next destination is a gem you won’t want to miss. We head to one of the locals’ favorite spots—The Old Grain Store Westport. This beautifully refurbished pub, located in a historic stone building, is famous for its large choice of Irish whiskeys and cozy, friendly atmosphere.

Here, we present to you Connaught Distillery’s Fine Irish Whiskey, a whiskey that is steeped in history. It is the first whiskey distilled in County Mayo in more than 150 years. With its rich, smooth tastes and deep Irish roots, it’s just the thing to raise to a night to remember.

If you don’t know whiskey, don’t worry – our experienced guides will take you through the tasting and guide you to the distinctive notes and scents that make Irish whiskey globally famous.

Not a Pub Crawl – A True Irish Experience

This tour is not a crazy pub crawl and is not for stag parties. Rather, it’s a leisurely, immersive experience perfect for those who wish to experience Ireland’s pub culture. You won’t be dashing from one pub to the next; rather, you’ll have time to absorb the atmosphere, good chat, and learn what makes Irish pubs special.
