A Long History
The Mc Kevitt Family have been in the Carlingford Hospitality industry for five generations. Originally a bar and provisions store on Market Square in Carlingford. A guest house, bar and restaurant followed and finally in 1984 it was upgraded to hotel status. Its prime central location in the village of Carlingford means it is a natural meeting place for locals and strangers near and far. Initially this was a pub and provisions store.
The premises was run by Hugh McKevitt in early 1900s and later by Barney McKevitt, the present owner’s grandfather. Originally a ledger was held, Carlingford men who went to work as merchant seamen signed a guarantee using their land as collateral.
This ensured their families were fed while they were away and upon their return whatever monies were owed the debt was settled. Men sailed from Liverpool to The Great Lakes in USA.
