McCarthy’s in Fethard, Co. Tipperary, is a pub that stays true to its roots, combining history with modern appeal. Situated in a town steeped in medieval heritage, McCarthy’s remains unchanged since its establishment in the 1850s by Richard McCarthy.
Known for its unaltered interior, McCarthy’s avoided the modernization wave of the 1970s. It retains its old-world charm, and visitors feel as though they’ve stepped back in time. Locals return expecting to meet the once-prominent trio of elderly women who managed the place, watching over its activity.
Sports are deeply ingrained in the family’s history, with ties to horse racing and Gaelic games, and even ghosts have added to McCarthy’s lore, with sightings and strange occurrences contributing to its mystical atmosphere.
This historical pub blends Fethard’s medieval past with community spirit, serving as a time capsule while also being connected to the lively equine culture of Coolmore.
The Hop House 13 advert was shot in McCarthy’s Fethard.
