Situated on the site of the Abbey Hotel which was originally built for guests visiting the Duiske Monastery also known as the medieval Duiske Abbey across the street. Now operating as a traditional Irish pub with a grocery & hardware included! It’s the home of live music in Graiguenamanagh with many a famous artist dropping by.

Ireland is actually the only country in the world to have a musical instrument as its national emblem....

No musical instrument has ever had to carry so much baggage - The Story of the Irish Harp is integral to Ireland and Irish culture. Based on the ancient lyre, the Irish harp is one of the world’s oldest instruments. The ancient Irish kings employed harpists to entertain them, so harpists held great prestige in society. Gaelic society was the dominant social structure across Ireland and the Scottish Highlands up until the 1600s. These two territories were intimately connected. At one sad point in Irish history, British invaders made it illegal to possess an Irish harp and set out to burn every Irish harp in a failed attempt to kill the “Irish spirit.” Then, the preservation of ancient Irish harpists’ music became a challenge.

- Leading harp maker, John Egan, who worked in Dublin from 1801-1841 - During his illustrious career, he made more than two thousand harps including this beauty!!
