An Sean Sibín
Abbey Street, Ballina, Co. Mayo
About
An Sean Sibín, the Old Shebeen, on Abbey Street is a much-loved traditional pub that has been a cornerstone of Ballina life for generations: old-world décor, snug corners and a genuinely warm welcome. On weekend nights, spontaneous sessions get going late and the tunes rise up through the room. It is the heart-of-the-town option for a quiet pint by day and a lively trad night at the weekend.
