This is a place where a great mix of punters gather whether in the way home from work or the cinema next door. The Craig is great and it's the spot for a competitive game of darts. The "Hawk" aka Declan knows his stuff and the pint is always great.

Guinness & pints
Hogs is close to the Castlebar byepass and has free parking. A great pint is assured as the owners are hands on. A good lively place, you don't have to converse with the natives but if your up for it "the craic is great" 🍻🍻👌 …
Great pint of Guinness ..Good place to go at half time from McHale park or before the game ..Great sports bar
