On the 17th of February, we started the exciting process of renovating our beloved main bar. After months of hard work and anticipation, we joyfully welcomed everyone back through our doors on Monday, the 10th of June. As part of our transformation, we are thrilled to present An Bhearú - Carlow's Newest Bar & Bistro! We're excited to offer you a relaxed dining experience in a warm and inviting atmosphere, serving delicious food 7 days a week from 9.00 am and 10.30am on weekends! In November 2024, having only been opened for 5 months, An Bhearú was awarded Best Bar at the Midlands 103 Hospitality Awards!
We're more than happy to cater to Group Bookings, and while groups of over 20 adults will dine from a Reduced Menu, if your group wishes to dine from our full Evening Menu, the tables will be split to accommodate your preferences.
Groups of over 25 adults will dine in our Liberty Tree Restaurant, allowing you to savour decadent cuisine while taking in stunning views of the Carlow Countryside and Hills of Killeshin. At Talbot Hotel Carlow, we take pride in offering an extensive array of menu options and accompanying wines for any dining occasion, ensuring a memorable and delightful experience in an atmosphere that radiates warmth and friendliness – a true reflection of Irish Hospitality.
