Experience Tradition & A Warm Welcome at McDonough’s Coffee House & Bar
Perched on County Meath’s breath-taking Gold Coast, McDonough’s isn’t just a place for a drink—it’s a slice of history and a home away from home.
Run by the fourth generation of the McDonough family, our cozy coffee house and bar has been welcoming visitors for over a century with friendly faces, great conversation, and an atmosphere that feels like stepping into the heart of Ireland. By day you can savour locally roasted artisan coffee, homemade scones, freshly baked pastries, and hearty toasted sandwiches—perfect fuel before a seaside stroll.
By night settle in with the best pint of Guinness on the East Coast or explore our selection of biodynamic wines, artisan ciders, and locally crafted spirits. With live music sessions bringing the best of Irish tradition to life, there’s always a reason to stay a little longer.
Whether you’re soaking up the summer sun on our terrace or warming up by the fire in winter, McDonough’s is all about quality, community, and craic. Well-behaved pooches are always welcome to join their humans. Water bowls and treats provided. Proudly supporting local producers from Meath and Louth!
Historic charm. Unforgettable atmosphere. The true taste of Ireland.
