Tuck into a seasonal menu of tasty meals in The Village Tearooms or Mary McBride's Pub in Cushendun village. Both are owned by the National Trust, and every sip, nibble and crunch helps us to look after special places.

Step back in time at Mary McBride’s

Mary McBride's was once one of the smallest pubs in Ireland. Named after the former landlady, it's full of character and is a must visit for anyone exploring Cushendun.

Offering traditional fare and licensed to serve alcohol, Mary's is often packed throughout the year and hosts live music during the summer months.
