The small town of Killala has only a population of 750 people (was trying to research but every site said something else) but is home of 5 pubs. And even more surprising is that back in the days Killala had total number 9!
Tower Bar
Spacious pub with a lunch menu and music usually on Saturdays. It draws the young people in on the weekends.
Gilivary’s
I call it the no -name pub. There is no sign and from the outside you would not think it’s a pub. This is the definition of a local pub. If you are out of town you will most likely not end up here. Some people say you will get the best draft of Guinness in town or maybe even in whole County Mayo.
The Village Inn
This was my very first pub in Killala. So this one will always have a special place in my heart. There is always a fire going and can get really packed when an important game is on. The also serve food.
Golden Acres
Just recently renovated interior. Tons of pictures of the good old days to look at. Can get a little touristy. Their roast is delicious.
The Arch Bar
This is probably my favorite pub in Killala. Weekends are packed - all kinds of different people to talk to. Best craic I had was here.

John,
have you been still around for the Arch Bar? Why did you stay just that short? We have stayed 1 1/2 years ourselves.
