More information on Tynan's Bridge House Bar

Before a man named Tynan turned it into a pub in 1919, this 225-year-old building was a pharmacy and grocery shop. Behind the horseshoe-shaped marble-top bar, side drawers marked CLOVES, ALMONDS, MACE, CITRON, and SAGO are vestiges left over from those days, as is the 200-year-old scale with its little set of cup weights. It's all lit by nostalgic globe gas lamps, and adorned with brass fixtures and silver tankards. An intricate old clock chimes the hour. Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
