McKenna's Bar

Walk into McKenna's and you've walked into Armagh the way locals actually live it. Lower English Street's been the backbone of this city for centuries, and this place feels like it's been holding court here just as long. You'll find a mixed crowd—pensioners nursing pints, groups of lads catching the match, the odd couple tucking into a quiet corner. The bar's unpretentious in the best way: no faffing about with craft cocktails or Instagram-bait presentations, just solid pub fundamentals done right. It's the kind of place where the barstaff know what you're having before you order, and where you leave feeling like you've actually been somewhere rather than just passing through.
