“A classic that deserves national acclaim and preservation, McCarthy’s proclaims itself as pub, restaurant and undertaker (“we’ll wine you, dine you and bury you”), though not necessarily in that order(making it an efficient set-up for wakes). Closely spaced wooden booths and tables wedge between an astonishing thicket of treasures dating back to 1840 under a wood panelled ceiling''

What We Do
McCarthy’s take pride in sourcing their produce as locally as possible. Our meat is from our butchers own herd in Kylenagranagh, Mullinahone. Our cheese is from Grubb’s farm, producers of the World famous Cashel Blue Cheese, just four miles from our front door.
ABOUT
Established by Richard McCarthy in the 1850’s McCarthy’s Hotel provided the services of a spirit merchant, restaurant, hotel, undertaker, draper, grocer, baker, hackney service, glass, delph and china shop and if you still couldn't get what you want - hire a few horses to take you elsewhere. Continuing in this tradition the present proprietor, Vincent Murphy (Jasper) fifth generation, has a pub, restaurant and undertaker business which he runs with his family.
While we have all the mar or beer brands on tap, we also have the only beer produced in Co Tipperary on tap as well, from the White Gypsy Brewery in Templemore. |
