🍕 SEASIDE SPECIAL 🍻
To celebrate the All-Ireland Final this weekend, we thought our customers deserved to enjoy both great food and great drinks without the hassle of sprinting out at half-time!
That's why we've teamed up exclusively with Seaside Slices this Sunday, bringing Killough's tastiest new addition straight to The Anchor Bar.
🍕 How it works:
Order your pizza at the bar, and it will be freshly prepared and delivered straight to you. No queues, no missing the match—just fresh pizza, cold pints, and all the action on the big day.
So gather your friends, grab a drink, order a slice, and enjoy the All-Ireland Final the way it should be. 🍕♥️🍻
Once you’re fed and watered make sure to stick with us for the fantastic Andrea Rice Band to round off another Super Sunday at the Anchor 🎶🎵

With another amazing Killough Festival officially in the books and after a non-stop effort, we want to begin our thanks to all those who helped make it so memorable! 🔥🥳

An enormous thank you to everyone who joined us over the festival and thank you for your patience and understanding considering just how busy it was. Our bar staff were continuously busy and we want to thank them, and anyone else who provided a helping hand, massively for all of their help! With no staff there are no customers and Vise versa, so once again thank you so much! ♥️🍻

Throughout the festival, our fantastic line-up included Carrie & DJ Finbar, whose charity quiz has raised a fantastic amount for Marie Curie (official total to be announced soon once the last few donations have been added), as well as the amazing vocals of Harry Rice, John Harrison, Paddy & Friends, Anto McKenna and the Untouchables! Thank you for keeping the place bouncin’ 🎤🎙️🎶

It was no secret how busy the village was, both inside and out the bar, and the Killough Community Association should be noted for their fantastic work in ensuring a safe and seamless few days. Thank you for providing the crowds of people, including the young children and families, with memories for life! ☀️

Another successful year for all involved, let’s look forward to making more memories next year ♥️

Thank you!

We are heartbroken at the loss of our dear friend, colleague, and one of the best that ever stepped foot behind the bar, Andy Spiers.

Andy was a true gentleman and a great figure in the bar for many years. A brilliant member of staff that had his own way of doing things, if you were ever waiting on a pint chances are you were waiting until he’d finished his smoke first.

He’ll be deeply missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him. Our thoughts are with his family and loved ones at this incredibly difficult time.

Rest easy, Andy. 🍺❤️
