The room out the back
You can still have a pint in the old forge
The forge was Tom Logue's blacksmith workshop, and we never took it apart. The hearth still draws, the anvil is still where he left it, and the tongs and horseshoes are still on the wall. These days there are a few tables in beside the fire.
It's the warmest seat in the house on a wet Donegal evening — and it's where the Blacksmith Burger got its name.
There's a coffee bar too, so nobody needs to rush off after eating. Have your coffee brought through to the forge, take the seat nearest the fire, and sit on a while.
Read the menuEvery Sunday
Lunch from one, dancing from nine
Sunday is the long day at Logue's. The kitchen runs straight through from one o'clock until eight, and then the floor is cleared for social dancing from nine until eleven. Everyone is welcome — regulars, visitors, and anyone who fancies a turn.

every Sunday night
Big band nights, Tuesdays
Through July and August the big bands play on a Tuesday night. The bar is open — there's no food served on a Tuesday, just the music.
