Welcome
When people talk about Crookhaven, in their next breath they usually mention O’Sullivan’s pub. Sitting right in the heart of the village, it is open all the year around and provides a warm and welcoming atmosphere for tourists and local residents alike.
In the summer it is bursting with life with people spilling out onto the quay and enjoying the sunshine, often with a bit of music and a bowl of their special Angela’s Seafood Chowder washed down with a pint of Murphy’s.
There is usually music at the weekend provided by local bands and sports fans pile in to watch rugby internationals, golf and GAA sports on a big screen.

The pub claims to serve the most South Westerly pint in Ireland.
The business has been run by four generations of O’Sullivans. Patriarch Sonny O’Sullivan bought it in 1933 and it has developed and expanded over the years as the needs of the village became apparent.
Back in the day, it was divided into a lounge bar and a public bar run by Sonny and his wife Elizabeth, known affectionately by all as ‘Mother’.
They had five sons – Pat, Billy, Sean, Dennis, Finn and Joe and a daughter, Elsie and eventually Billy took over the business and ran it with the help of his wife Angela.
Billy and Angela developed the business substantially, introducing food into the pub in the 70s and building a modern professional kitchen. They also revamped Nottages pub, built a restaurant and added toilets.
Today it is run by Billy and Angela’s son Dermot and his wife, Linda Kennedy with help from Dermot’s two elder daughters Katie and Alex from his marriage to sculptor Alison Ducker who died in 2021 and their little sister Angela, Linda and Dermot’s daughter.
Local fishermen supply the pub and customers can taste fresh vegetables from the garden when they are in season. O’Sullivan’s serves a good range of hearty pub food
Dermot and Linda have added a pizza oven last summer too.
Part of the business is a small shop beside the pub selling basic groceries, wine and beer, ‘Crookhaven’ merchandise such as beanies, brimmed hats, forage caps, T shirts, hoodies and gift cards all sporting the O’Sullivan logo!
