Mikey Ryan’s has been at the centre of cultural life in Cashel for over a century.
Set back from the road, in a typical Irish small town street-scape, Mikey’s is proudly positioned overlooking the Plaza. The narrow terraced building has enjoyed a colourful history. Legend has it that the original hops plant used to make Guinness came from the garden and the back of the building was once home to a snuff factory. Best-known as a public house and grocer, Mikey’s also has a culinary tradition and to this day locals can remember queuing to buy ham over the counter.
Having closed its doors in late 2015, the pub was taken over by the current owners in 2016. After a year of careful and extensive restoration working with skilled craftspeople, Mikey Ryan’s re-opened in August of 2017. Many of the original 19th Century features are still intact and have now been preserved for another century. Mikey Ryan’s bar and kitchen today continues the culinary tradition with a nod to the past and a look to the future. Our concept is to combine all that Ireland does best; produce, pubs and passion.
We hope to see you in Mikey’s soon!

Our Sustainability Commitment
Mikey Ryan’s Bar & Kitchen is committed to learning and implementing new procedures and practices to be more environmentally friendly and reduce our carbon footprint.
Our senior management team have undertaken extensive green training to identify areas where we can reduce our electricity and water consumption, learn about more sustainable processes for the kitchen, restaurant and bar and also to enable them to train and educate staff to help reduce our carbon footprint.
One of the practical things we have done, is installing special LED lighting throughout the property to be more energy efficient and still create a beautiful ambience for dining at Mikey’s. To reduce waste to landfill, we collect all of our coffee grounds to make a nutrient rich compost which is free for customers to take home for gardening purposes, in the hope that the plants it will help grow will provide micro carbon sinks and a healthy environment for pollinators and wildlife.
We have also made huge strides towards paperless billing for administration and have reduced the use of paper menus by 80% through the introduction of QR code menus in the restaurant.
Finally, we source our produce and ingredients locally where possible to reduce our food’s “air miles” and also removes the need for additional packaging. This means farm to plate, just like it should be, making your food taste great and reduces our carbon footprint. You will find the names of our suppliers on our website here.
