Tully's Bar
148-149 Tullow Street, Carlow, R93 W243
About
Tully's sits at 148 and 149 Tullow Street, near the Potato Market end of the street, and it is the pub that won the Restaurant Association of Ireland's county pub of the year award for Carlow in 2026, as it had in 2024. It is the craft beer house in a town that has its own brewing story, and it sells its beer to take away in growlers as well as across the bar. Carlow Tourism describes it as a Carlow institution with music most nights and a soft spot for dogs. Lunch is served on weekdays and Saturdays; the pub's own site does not publish its hours, so ring if you are planning around food.
