"Owning a bar was the dream of Tommy McKiernan, our dad and grandad. We used his inheritance to fulfil it for him. We know he is there watching over us."
Gin Jar Ale is a family business in every sense. Built on love, run with pride, and dedicated to the memory of Tommy himself. Come into the bar and you will see his photo pride of place on the wall, always watching over us.
"Absolutely love this place. The owners are lovely and the food is amazing. Really relaxed atmosphere and could definitely spend a whole afternoon here!"Carl H, Google Review
