Conroy's Old Bar - The World's 1st Self Catering Pub
The pub is of concrete construction with render façade, under a corrugated roof., with UPVC windows, central heating and alarm. Separate telephone line.
A traditional Irish village bar, which was trading up until 2003, when the liquor license was sold off. It has been changed very little in the process of converting it into self catering accommodation, with the main focus on retaining it's charm and character, and so would convert back into a fully functioning pub with the minimum of effort (the addition of a liquor license and necessary consents etc. would be required).
Although we are not selling Conroy's Old Bar as a business/going concern, we are willing to negotiate to include the website, bookings, fixtures, fittings and furniture of Conroy's, to continue running it as a self catering holiday let.
Due to it's uniqueness, Conroy's Old Bar has always generated it's own advertising, including been featured in various national and international newspapers, radio programmes as well as on RTE's Nationwide programme and TV3 Breakfast TV.
Outside.
To the front of the property is a path going the full length of the building. To the side of the pub is a good sized parking area for 2 cars, in front of 6' tall solid drive gates which lead to the rear garden. To the side is a good sized south facing garden with wooden fencing and gateway to the front.
The 31ft mobile home, which has been converted into work and play space for children's workshops and parties, and is serviced with water and electricity.
Next to the workshops is what was originally another pub. This had it's roof and some of it's walls removed, so it could no longer be used, as the new Conroy's Bar was being built and the license from this pub had to be extinguished, for a new license to be issued to Conroy's Bar. This bar was only 11' x 14' inside. There was a bar counter, seating and an open fire ! It was fondly referred to as the Old Forge Bar, and was reputed to have been run as a Shabeen at some stage of it's life.
A new workshop with power and light has now been built here, with a window onto the front garden as well as large windows to the rear garden.

Building Energy Rating (BERs) give information on how to make your home more energy efficient and reduce your energy costs. All properties bought, sold or rented require a BER. BERs carry ratings that compare the current energy efficiency and estimated costs of energy use with potential figures that a property could achieve. Potential figures are calculated by estimating what the energy efficiency and energy costs could be if energy saving measures were put in place. The rating measures the energy efficiency of your home using a grade from ‘A’ to ‘G’. An ‘A’ rating is the most efficient, while ‘G’ is the least efficient. The average efficiency grade to date is ‘D’. All properties are measured using the same calculations, so you can compare the energy efficiency of different properties.
